Each week in Kindergarten we tackle the ‘tricky’ words using lots of different strategies. We focus on two or three of these words each week and have different stations set up in our classroom to help us to read and spell them.
Kindergarten Travel Around the World!
5 February, 2008 7 Comments
This term in Senior Kindergarten we have been exploring different countries around the world. We started by making our own passports. We used the digital camera to take photographs of ourselves and stuck them in our passports. We also filled in all our personal details. Our passports are not all the same, as there are lots of different nationalities in our class!

Grade 1 Self-Portraits
3 November, 2006 Leave a Comment
In Grade 1 we have been drawing and painting Self-Portraits. We began by practising drawing the shapes for the eyes, nose, mouth and ears. We then drew and painted our Self-Portraits in stages. We looked closely at our features in mirrors as we drew and painted. We mixed different paints to ensure we got the right colours for our hair, eyes and lips.
Grade 1 are Authors of the future!

We started our two week topic on Non-Fiction writing last week. We began by looking at different Non-Fiction books and made a shared list of their features. We discussed the purpose of each of the features and used our checklist to decide whether different books were Non-Fiction or Fiction.
The children in Grade 1 work hard and play hard!
