Reading to Mum and Dad.

I am reading my Acrostic poem to my mum and my dad.  I started with the words that were wrong, but now I am better and better.  Next time I would like to read the sunsmart poster to them.

Kelly Sports.

We are learning to throw and catch on Tuesday mornings at Kelly Sports, 

with Coach Cameron.

Who Am I?

We had to tell about ourselves.  I had to think about me and what I look like.  Then write down the words and they are the clues.  We put them into a book so that other people can read them.  They have to think about what person it might be.  It is mystery to solve!!  It was hard for me to share my accessories.  I have long nails, but I forgot that clue.  Also, what about my long hair?

Origami Art Show.

WOW!!  LOOK AT MY AMAZING PAPER FOLDING!!

Telling the Time.

At Maths time I was learning to tell the time on a clock or a watch or a phone or on the ipad.   On this clock here, the big hand is on the 12, and the little hand is on the 5.  This means it is 5 o'clock.  If I change the little hand and it points to 4, then it would be 4 o'clock.  If I change the big hand to the 6, it would be half past 4.  This was tricky to learn but now it is better!

Reading Eggs.

I do Reading eggs at school and at my house on my ipad.  I can log in by myself and I don't need to look at my password card now.  I was doing the words that match the picture.  It is easy for me because it's tells me the words.  Next time I would like to play some games.

Writing New Words.

We are learning to read and write new words by thinking about the end sounds of the words.  I just stayed at the laptop and I could think of some words.  It was easy for me.  Next time I would like do l and x at the end.

Origami Art.

On Friday the 3rd of August, some Japanese homestay students visited us from Botany College.  We chatted to them first, took them for a tour around our school, and then they helped us to fold some Origami.  My buddy helped me to make a heart, two birds called cranes, and two Samurai hats.

My Shape Art.

We are learning about shapes like circles, triangles, ovals, rectangles and squares.  I made a spaceship and I used rectangles, squares and triangles and I used some diamonds and a big oval.  It was tricky because the scissors are sharp and I don't want to cut my finger.  It's hard to put the glue on the paper because it gets sticky on your hands.  Next time I would make a cat.

Blowing Bubbles.

We are outside blowing bubbles.  I can see big bubbles and I can see little bubbles.

Stardome Writing.

On Monday the 25th of June, Room 1 visited the Stardome.   We looked at planets and stars and space suits.  Here I am as an astronaut flying to the moooooooon!

When we came back to school we had to write a story about our trip.  Mrs Kerr let us choose some shapes in Tagul and then we had to import our words.  We could change the colours.  We printed them out and put them up on our space wall.  We think they look super AMAZING.  Here is my one.

Look at my origami tiger!

Look at my origami tiger!

Mathletics at School.

I was matching the teddy bears and then they I got a check.  I got it correct and the seesaw goes in the middle.  I do Mathletics at home and at school.  I do Reading eggs too.

Reading on the Ipad.

I am learning to use the Ipad to read a QR code.  I can choose a book cover.   I scan the QR code and then the story comes up on Youtube.  It can be tricky to scan some of the books.  I enjoy it because I can listen to the story and I can watch it at the same time.  I chose this book called Fix-It Duck.

Buddhist Temple Visit.

Reading in Room 1.

I know all my alphabet letters now but I am still learning all my words.  I learn them at home and I learn them at school.  I am getting better and better and soon I can read books about Harry Potter or Minions or Butterflies or even something different.

I am Swimming in the School Pool.

My Fabulous Art Work.

    My Fish.

First we draw a picture from our memory.  Then we draw with the teacher, doing it very slowly.  We have to draw lines like zigzags, curves, circles and lines.  When our work is amazing, the teacher makes it bigger on the photocopier.  Then we can colour it in but we still have to BE VERY CAREFUL!  Here is our beautiful, super work from Term 1!

                                            My Cat.

Maths Games in Room 1.

I have to look at the number on the astronaut and then match it with the rocket that has the same number of stars.  It's tricky to count all of the stars because sometimes it has 8 stars but when you check again there are 7 stars.  They have to be the same.

Fun and Fitness.

We have been working on our fitness this term and we have been trying some new activities.  Here I am skipping and

                                     using the ladder and hurdles.

Look At My Writing!

I am learning to write a recount of what I really enjoyed in the weekend.

First I drew my picture.

Then I told my story to Mrs Kerr and I wrote down the words that I already knew.

She wrote down the words I didn't know yet and I copied the words under her writing.

My work looks amazing, wonderful, beautiful and cool!

Year 1, 2018.

Here I am on my first day in Room 1.

I am ready to do some great learning this year!
