Year 1
Squiggly Spaghetti
This term the year ones are learning to use their senses to make observations in Science. We have been using our senses to describe some of the properties of familiar foods. We are observing the foods in their different states and then talking about how they have changed, for example, when they are frozen, melted […]
Learning About Sound
This term the year ones have been learning and light and sound energy. They have learnt that sound energy travels in waves but we can’t see it. When we talk or make sound the vibrations travel through the air to our ears so we can hear them. Sound can also travel through other objects. We […]

They year ones have been learning about clouds. We learnt the names of some of the types of clouds and how they can tell us about the weather. We also learnt that clouds are made from tiny drops of water high up in the air. Check out the YouTube video below to find out […]

The pre-primary and year one children in room 21 have been busy making a documentary to show all the things they have learnt about ants. Together we made a list of all the facts we have learnt about ants. Then we had to write about and illustrate the information. Next, we had to practise our ‘lines’ so […]

We studied what they looked like and talked about the names of their body parts. Then we read a book about ants to find out lots of information about […]
Worms! Worms! Worms!
The year ones have been busy learning about small animals that live in our schoolyard. Recently, we learnt about worms. We looked closely at worms with magnifying glasses and learnt about all their main body parts. We then read a book about worms and learnt about where they live , what they eat and how […]
