Term 1 Highlights

Our first day of school!

Mathematics

Addition Strategies

Turnarounds.

Students had to find sums that were 'turned around' as matching pairs. (4 + 3 / 3 + 4)

Rainbow facts. 

Students glued fruit loops onto a rainbow to represent different addition sums to equal 10.

We also played a rainbow facts board game. Students had to roll 2 ten sided dice. If the sum of the 2 dice equalled 10 they could take a counter. 

Doubles.

Students rolled a dice and had to double that number and place a counter on top of the answer. 

Literacy

We practice our spelling words in many different ways. We use Play-Doh, chalk, magnets and more!

Writing with feathers and ink.

We are learning about the olden days. In the olden days they wrote with feathers and ink. We just had to give it a go ourselves!

It was tricky!

In the olden days they sometimes used slate boards to write on.

We made our own slate boards with a fact about the olden days written on it. 

Assembly

On the 4th of April we had our assembly. We were the first class at Treendale Primary School to host an assembly!! We worked hard to prepare our item. As a class, we re-wrote the words to 'The House that Jack Built' and changed it to 'The School that We Built'. Everyone participated and had something to say into the microphone. It was a fantastic assembly. Thank you parents for supporting us and coming back for morning tea afterwards. If you have any photos or videos of our assembly item, Miss Fouweather would love a copy to display in the class. 

Easter Hat Parade

On the last day of term 4, Treendale Primary School held it's first ever Easter Hat Parade. We each made our own hats to show in the parade.
