Year 1 Shared Breakfast

Today we had a shared breakfast with all the year one students and their families. It was fantastic to see lots of parents socialising and getting to know one another. The children enjoyed eating their breakfast with their friends and performing a couple of short items. Thanks again for coming and for bringing such delicious food, the children ate very well!

We are learning to:
Community - be a positive member of Oaklands School
Active Thinking - use our initiative when making choices
Respect - be kind and respectful towards others
Excellence - try our best in our learning

I show my CARE values by:
Look after things like the resources, respecting our toys, that means treating them with respect.

Integrated Topic

Term 2

This term we have been learning about Motion. We are learning to describe how & why something has or will move.

We went to the AirForce Museum and learned about flight. In class we did a number of experiments to see how things move.

We found out that pushes and pulls can make things start or stop moving and that different sized objects move in different ways.

We learned 

• words relating to movement, eg twist, spin, swing, slide, swerve, hop, jump, turn, fast, slow, push, and pull.
• words and phrases for making comparisons of movement eg go faster, go slower, go further
• words related to movement eg direction, distance, force
• comparative expressions eg further, furthest, fast, faster, fastest, slow, slower, slowest, higher

 Lyrics

Hey you, back against the wall
Wondering if the world'll fall apart
Hey you, crying in your drink
Looking for an answer, just open your heart

You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere

Sing, it's your favorite song
When you're singing along nothing is wrong
Everybody just sing for the people who can't
It'll help them survive, we are free and alive
Everybody just sing

Hey girl, what's the matter now?
Feeling like each day it's something else
Hey you, wading in the shallow
Looking for a reason, found it in yourself

You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere

Sing, it's your favorite song
When you're singing along nothing is wrong
Everybody just sing for the people who can't
It'll help them survive, we are free and alive
Everybody just sing

I'm gonna sing la, la, la, la, la
Come on sing with me la, la, la, la, la
Come on guys la, la, la, la, la
Sing with me la, la, la, la, la

Keep it going now
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la

You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere

You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere
You can find it anywhere

Sing, it's your favorite song
When you're singing along nothing is wrong
Everybody just sing for the people who can't
It'll help them survive, we are free and alive

Everybody just sing, it's the secret revealed
If you wanna get real, if you wanna feel
Everybody just sing for the people who can't
It'll help them survive, it'll keep 'em alive
Everybody just sing
Come on and sing
