Learning in year 1: September 2014

Our prac teacher, Mrs Beckman has been doing most of the teaching in the last two weeks. The students have continued to be engaged with their learning over this time. In Maths, she has assisted them with their skills in position; Multiplication and Division. During Literacy, Mrs Beckman has honed her own skills in THRASS and led the class diligently. The students have used Thinking Routines in HSIE and been creative in Father's Day card making.

Some students participated in the Infants Public Speaking Competition. I was very impressed with those students who took the time to learn a poem and then recite it to the class. The students also recited their poem to 1M, where Mrs Moffatt and myself made the decision as to which two students should represent each class. From 1B it was James and Emily. They then spoke in front of the entire Junior School, where 5 teachers made the final decision about who was the best Public Speaker in K-2. The winner will be announced this week.
