Week 34

Dear Grade 1 families,

This week we have been doing a lot of practice for Undokai.

We have started working on character descriptions for Language Time and the students have come up with some interesting characters!

In maths, we are working on division and the students have been having a lot of fun working together and sharing.

See you tomorrow at Undokai!
Kind regards,
Sara Matthews

Poster for jobs in Japanese

We have been practicing Undokai songs.

They especially enjoy singing Go!Go!Go! song for red and white teams.

Please enjoy their chants on Undokai.

Grade1 have been making their store poster this week.

They had so many ideas how to make their store popular!

We also learned about Japanese money, yen.

Week 33

Grade 1 parents,

We have been working hard on our Undokai practice. I will not spoil the fun!

We read with our Undokai partners for guided reading so that we could get to know each other.

 

For inquiry we have been working on our city. We have come up with all the different public and private spaces that we need to have a safe, clean, happy, town.  All the students have chosen jobs that they will undertake in our town. 

 

In maths, we have been wrapping up multiplication and will be moving on to division next week (grouping).

Kind regards,
Sara Matthews

Week 32

Grade 1 parents,

This week we have started Undokai practice. We are having so much fun learning our dance and games!
We are out in the sun for long periods of time, so please ensure your child has a drink bottle, Undokai cap, and good sports shoes.

We have been working on our Language Centres, students are now learning how to describe characters in stories. We will be creating our own character for our city!
Students have been also learning about maps in inquiry. They have been encouraged to bring in any maps that they find! We are collecting them for our classroom display.

Kind regards,
Sara Matthews

What do you want to sell at your store?

Grade1 students are getting really excited about making their own store!

Now they are making what they want to sell at their store.

There are so many kinds of flowers, books, cars, fish, toys, music instruments.

This city will be so much fun!

Soon they will start learning about Money, Japanese yen.

We also reviewed Hiragana and Katakana this week.

Week 31

Dear Grade 1 parents,

This week we started our new unit: how we organise ourselves.
The central idea is: People act differently in public and private places.

We have been very busy last week with Suisha exchanges with Jinsho planting vegetables!
Grade 1 and 2 had so much fun.

Have a great golden week.
Kind regards,
Sara Matthews
