I hope that you all had a great break. \u00a0We have had a busy first two weeks back. \u00a0It does seem to have taken the students a little bit to get back into the ‘swing of things’. \u00a0We have had a few ‘chats’ about expectations and following routine.<\/p>\n
We will be finishing up our Fairy Tale unit in the next two weeks. \u00a0This week we are looking at Cinderella – the traditional story and a lot of the variations from different cultures around the world. \u00a0We will then be putting a lot of our fairy tale activities together in our own Jolly Postman booklets. \u00a0\u00a0Our next Social Studies unit will be ‘Family’.<\/p>\n
In Math this week we will be doing a mini-unit on fractions. \u00a0This has meshed in quite nicely with our performance of “I am a Pizza” for this Friday’s Celebration of Learning Assembly (COLA) – with Division 1 – \u00a0as we are using pizzas to learn ‘half’ and ‘quarter’. \u00a0Next week we will begin working on ‘measurement’ in Math.<\/p>\n
If you get a chance to come to Rosser on this Friday morning (9:00 a.m.) our class will be performing the song we have been practising. \u00a0The students are looking forward to this.<\/p>\n

** Please ensure that your child has a pair of shoes that they can wear as ‘clean, indoor’ shoes – especially in this wet weather. \u00a0When students come in from the wet and muddy field their shoes need changing so that our carpet – which is sat upon – is not covered in all that wetness or mud. \u00a0Thank you for your support in this.<\/p>\n
** A lot of students are reporting that they are not doing daily reading practise at home. \u00a0This is becoming evident in the groups that have pink and blue homework sheets sent home weekly. \u00a0Please take 10 minutes each night and go over those homework sheets with your child. \u00a0This is generally the only ‘homework’ given in grade one. \u00a0All words on these sheets should be read with proper phrasing and fluency. \u00a0There should no longer be too much hesitation or sounding out of the passages that they should now know. \u00a0One of the groups will be bringing home a yellow duotang with extra practise sheets in it this week. \u00a0Please work with your child on this each evening and return it when your child is reading all sheets competently (phrased and fluent). \u00a0Reading is a major focus of the grade one programme. \u00a0It impacts all other subject areas.<\/p>\n
We are approaching the mid-point of Grade 1. \u00a0It is amazing to think how quickly this year is passing!! \u00a0We have many more areas of exciting things to learn and experience. \u00a0We will keep you updated as things progress. \u00a0Keep checking back …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
