Year 1 News - Mr O'Brien

Term 3 has been another busy term for the students in Year 1. Students have continued to impress, with their creative and original ideas that they bring to a wide range of learning experiences. This term we have been looking at procedural texts. Students have so far come up with some clever actions for ‘How to Catch a Dragon’; the’ Talk for Writing’ text we have been exploring. After examining the text, students will be invited to create their own procedures, which I look forward to reading. This term we have also been looking at different types of portraits. Mrs Tueon has provided students both with inspiration and direction with this creative endeavour. Students have also continued to impress with their skills in STEM. Through their Lego projects, they have constructed and coded to perform some impressive tasks. Finally, this term Mrs Badcock has introduced us to Ozobots, which have been a new addition to our school. Students have been creating a story map for their Ozobots to navigate which is for the story ‘Going on a Bear Hunt.’ The students in Year 1 should be very pleased with the work they have been doing with all of these tasks.
