Football Skills

Football Skills have been a highlight of the term thus far for Room 1. Today was our last session and it was great to see how far we had all come.





Oral Language

Oral Language is a major component of Room 1 and today the students got to play a new classifying game in small groups. The students had a range of pictures they had to sort into groups and then explain to the class why they chose those groups.
What a fantastic activity it was for all students!

Impromptu learning!

Today Room 1 spotted Miss Reeves putting Paw Paw ointment on her lips. They were so intrigued and wanted to know if it was lipstick. Suddenly we were having a great lesson about where Paw Paw ointment comes from and what it is used for. Impromptu learning is so much fun!!
