We have been exploring the differences and similarities between fiction and non fiction books. Have a look at some of our super stars reading their own fiction and non fiction texts.

What non fiction books are you interested in reading?

Sounds on the Move!

In Science this term we are investigating sound and light through our unit of work 'Look and Listen'.

Today we explored how sound travels through different materials.

We noticed a difference between sound travelling through air and solids (the wire and the string).

Today we learnt …..that sound travels better through string than through air.

We know this because ….. we put the string over our ears and the sound of the tapping pencil was louder than when we held the string further away from our ears.

Student Led Conferences

Student Led Conferences are being held this week across year 1 classes. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to share their day-to-day learning and experiences within the classroom.

Thank you to all families who have participated this week. If you would like an appointment and you have not yet booked, please see your child's teacher to organise a suitable time.

Have a look at some of our students sharing their learning with their loved ones.

Look! Listen!

During our Science Inquiry, Look! Listen! we have been investigating light and sound. Last week, we searched for light and dark places in the classroom and around the school. We discussed the reasons why some places were dark and some places were light. Unit 1 students investigated the teacher book room where we turned off the lights (this room has no windows) and we spoke about why the room was so dark and it was in the middle of the day. BER students explored a shipping container in the playground and also went inside with the door closed.


The following lesson we talked about appliances around the home that made sound and light.
What items around your house make sound or light?
