Week 6 in 1B

We celebrated Book Week with a story teller visiting the Primary School on Wednesday and a Parade on Friday.

The story teller was from Young Australia Workshop and told the students about "Descendants of the Dragon".  He  used puppets to explain the legend of the four dragons and the rivers of China.

Week 5

We had a great time walking to the Australian Museum on Wednesday.  The sun was shining and we put a lot of smiles on people's faces as we made our way to the Museum.  There was a Science Fair on with different stalls being manned by scientific experts. The children had 45 minutes to wonder around the Fair and ask the scientists questions and participate with 'hands on' experiences.  A real highlight of the morning was coming across a Museum worker, that had a large goanna on his chest. He entertained the students with stories about reptiles, and then produced a baby crocodile for the students to 'pat'.

 

We go to the library for a lesson and borrowing every Tuesday.  Mrs Piggot would like us to try to remember our library books for returning on these days.  Some of us are better at remembering than others!!

 

In Maths this week we learnt all about Data.  We learnt to interpret, tally, total and graph the information.  We did this using blocks, dice, shapes, and smarties!

Week 4 Term 3

There were more hands-on activities in Maths this week as 1B learnt more about Mass.  Maths skills of estimating, recording and hefting were on display in our classroom.  The language the children were using were words such as "heavier and lighter", "equal", "balance", "more", "less" and "same as."

 

Can you spot Andrew Bear in this photo taken during Guided Reading?  Andrew Bear is a reward given to the class that listens well during the Chapel Service on Wednesday afternoons.
