Year 1
Year 1 students were very lucky last week to be visited by some of our local firefighters, who taught us what to do in the event of a fire. We learnt to dial 000 in an emergency, to get down low and go, go, go; to stop, drop and roll if your clothes are on fire; not to hide, but to scream and shout! We can’t wait for the firefighters to return this week so that we can learn all about their fire truck and hopefully get a chance to spray the hose! 3 images in folder
Year 2
In 2A we use CRA (concrete learning materials) to help us learn in our Maths lessons and Numeracy group rotations. This is a fun way to learn and consolidate Mathematical concepts. But don’t just take my word! Listen to what some of the 2A students have to say about learning Maths in year 2…
I love to do numeracy groups because I like doing Mathletics and the Telling Time Bingo game with my friends. - Joanna
I love Maths groups because while you learn you can have fun. - Jessica
We love the Maths games because we get to play super fun games with our group. - Antonella
We love Numeracy groups because they’re fun and they help us learn. - Pani
