Reading to my Family.

I am reading a poem to most of my family.  My grandmother and my aunty stayed at home.  I could not read when I started at school, but now I can read lots of things like, books, poems and signs.  Reading is easy sometimes and tricky sometimes, when the words are too hard.

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 tricky to write all of the clues.

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 7.  This means it is 7 o'clock.  If I change the little hand and it points to 6, then it would 6 o'clock.  If I change the big hand to the 6 as well, it would be half past 6.  At first it was tricky to learn the time, but now it's easy.

Reading Eggs.

I do Reading eggs at school and at home on my brother's laptop.  The person says something and then I had to click on the writing that matches.  It was quite tricky at first, and I made lots of mistakes, but then I got better.  Next I would like to to do Reading eggs eggspress because I want to try that on my brother's laptop.

Year 1 Skipping Day.

Here I am jumping over the long rope on our skipping day.

Writing New Words.

We are learning to read and write new words by thinking about the end sounds of the words.  I sat down and thought of these words and then I put them on the laptop.  It was easy for me because I am on Word List number 8.  Next time I would like to do a k and a g 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 bird called a crane.

My Shape Art.

We are learning about shapes like circles, triangles, ovals, rectangles and squares.  I made a spaceship and I used stars, circles, rectangles, triangles and a big oval.  It was tricky because some of the shapes were not sticking and some of them were sticking.  Next time I would make a rocket ship.

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!

Mathletics at School.

I have to put in the right numbers that go up to 30.  I got it right because there is a tick.  Then I press on the next button and I try the next level.  At my house I don't do Mathletics but I do some counting with my mum.

My Honeybee.

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 Elmer and Rose.

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.

We have to look at the caterpillar and then put the right number of pegs onto the card.  I chose 4.  I have to put 4 pegs on to make the caterpillar stand up on his legs.  It's tricky to put the right number of pegs on.  You have to keep counting and checking.

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 holidays.

First I drew my picture.

Then I told my story to Mrs Kerr and she wrote it down for me.
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 at Elm Park School, in Room 1.

I am ready to do some great learning this year!
