BEAUTIFUL AUSTRALIAN ANIMALS

Every Tuesday after snack break, 1V has "Buddies" with the students from MAG R. We do lots of activities together and get to know one another better.This week, we decorated some pictures of Australian animals. Here are a few of the creations..
what talented children we have at St Joeys!

SHOW N' SHARE

Once a week, the students of 1V have a chance to present some interesting information through their scheduled Show and Share time. The students are encouraged to prepare for this presentation at home and to bring in resources and props to engage their audience further. The students are very motivated and we are always fascinated by each day's presentations. This week, Gabby wore a costume from Holland and brought in a beautiful scrapbook to help with her talk. Campbell shared his adventures in Perth visiting the Mint, and brought in a bounty of artefacts to share with his classmates. Thank you to families who support this activity, which is an integral part of the students Speaking and Listening education.

Thank you Miss Alisha!

Last Friday, we said a sad farewell to Miss Alisha Philbrook, who has spent the last 4 weeks with 1V, on her practicum. Miss Alisha attends Griffith University and is a 3rd year student. She did a fabulous job on her prac. and helped to initiate our Toy Making unit, as well as guiding the students in preparing their own obstacle course for the upcoming Healthy Lifestyle Day at St Joseph's (22nd June). It was a pleasure to have her in our classroom, and the students connected with her immediately.

We wish her all the best for the future!

So Busy!

We have been working so hard this semester, learning and investigating all sorts of things!

We work through Literacy Rotations every week and have fun while we improve our Literacy skills.

DRESS UP FOR ROSIES

1V joined the rest of the school for a day of fun, dressing up as things/people that began with the letter "J".

It was so great to see all of the children participate and many thanks goes out to clever families for helping the children to create their imaginative and truly magical outfits!

Well done!

The school raised around $500, so it was a fantastic fundraising effort.

Thank you!

How Things Work....

This term 1V is investigating toys and learning about how they work. We have been categorising them and also learning about the different ways objects move. We will soon be designing and building our own toys as part of our Negotiated Learning unit.

Fun with Dr Inhale Exhale!

Last week we had a ball while learning about one of the 7 Natural Physicians-
Dr Inhale Exhale..
we made our own kites and flew them, and also blew bubbles!

We had fun learning about the air around us and in our lungs.
