Book Week 2014

Our theme for book week this year was 'African Tales'. In Grade One we each had a giant puzzle piece to colour in. We put the puzzle pieces together to form the front cover of our story. Come have a look on our classroom door. We also learned how to make an electronic book. Each one of our children took part in narrating our story. Listen to hear if you can spot your little one's voice.

We hope you enjoy this exciting story!

Spelling for Grade 1 this term.

We will be writing spelling tests on Fridays starting from this week. Please do not let your children know that they are writing tests! This places enormous, unnecessary pressure on them. You should make sure that they practice the spelling words daily, on the provided spelling sheets. There is also a sentence for dictation. When writing the words, you can make use of the 'Look, say, cover, write, check' method.
