Eggciting Times!

On Monday, Mrs McRae from Year 6 visited our classroom with a special gift that was found in her backyard. We made predictions about what would hatch out of the egg. Then we put the egg into water. The next day there were a few cracks, and we could see a little bit of what was inside. Today we could see that there was a little dinosaur hatching out of the egg! 

Book Week

Last Friday, St Bernard’s celebrated Book Week. We dressed up inspired by the theme “Read, Grow, Inspire”. When we got back to the classroom, we wrote about who our character was and drew a picture of our costumes.

Maths

In Mathematics, we have been learning about double digit addition and subtraction using base ten blocks. This was a challenging task with multiple steps needed to find the answer. We all helped each other learn, did our best, and were able to do hard things because we worked together as a big team. 

Dhurga

In Dhurga this week, Trish told Year 1 two different Dreamtime stories. Biami and Marmoo a Dreamtime story telling of Australia’s first bird which comes from the Darkinjung people. Manalo the Monster Cod comes from the people of the Murray River the Wirajuri, Yotti Yotti and Mutti Mutti. 

Information Reports

Year One has slowly been creating an information report on their chosen dinosaur. We created each sentence using templates and research provided to us by our teachers. First, we drafted our information report. Now we are working on creating a PowerPoint presentation with Mrs Holmes and our teachers based on our information. We will also be writing published copies in our best handwriting to show you on our Storyline Day.

Health

In Health we have been learning about habits that keep our bodies healthy and hygienic. We came up with a list of things that we can do each day to keep our bodies healthy. This included brushing our teeth, having a shower or baths, washing our hands regularly, blowing our nose and wearing clean clothes.
