Christmas Talent Show

We enjoyed taking part and watching the class talent show. There is such a variety of talent in the class. We started with a magic show, had various dance groups, some singing and some fabulous artists.

Rainy Day

I can create and present work using the visual elements of line, shape, form, colour, tone, pattern and texture.
EXA 1-03a

LI: To create pictures using line.

We explored different patterns using a variety of lines.

After we learned how to use different lines to create patterns we made rainy day pictures. We hope you like the patterns we made.

 

Silly Billy

As I listen or watch, I can identify and discuss the purpose, key words and main ideas of the text, and use this information for a specific purpose. LIT 1-04a

To show my understanding across different areas of learning, I can identify and consider the purpose I am aware of and able to express my feelings and am developing the ability to talk about them. HWB 1-01a

I know that we all experience a variety of thoughts and emotions that affect how we feel and behave and I am learning ways of managing them. HWB 1-02a 

I understand that there are people I can talk to and that there are a number of ways in which I can gain access to practical and emotional support to help me and others in a range of circumstances.  HWB 1-03a 

We read the book Silly Billy about a boy who worried about everything. His grandma told Billy about making a worry doll. He could then tell the worry doll all of his worries.

We explored some of the things we worry about and we all made worry dolls that we could tell our worries to. We also discussed who else we could tell our worries to and in class we made sure we all knew how to use our worry box. Let’s hope we don’t have any more worries.

Flat Stanley Measuring

We have been learning to measure using metres and centimetres. We drew around each other with chalk to create our own flat person, then measured the height of our outline. Our flat people were very colourful.

I can estimate how long or heavy an object is, or what amount it holds, using everyday things as a guide, then measure or weigh it using appropriate instruments and units. MNU 1-11a

LI: To measure in metres and centimetres.
