We have continued with our Australian Learning Theme 'Wombat Stew' in Year 1 this week. In English, we have been using the text 'Possum Magic' to write some sentences and complete some Guided Reading activities. The main character in the story tasted some traditional Australian treats in the book which inspired us to make Vegemite sandwiches! We wrote some instructions on how to make them and then tasted them! Some of us loved them and some of us did not...!

In Maths, we have been practising our number bonds to 10 and 20. These are so important! We have also started to use these when solving addition problems.

In Music, we listened to a calm Aboriginal lullaby. We followed the pulse using different parts of our body. We really enjoyed listening to the music. We have also continued to learn our aboriginal dance with Suzanne on Thursday morning. In Geography this week, we have learnt about the continents of the world. We discussed different places that we have travelled to and looked at them on a map.
