Cormorant Garamond is a classic font with a modern twist. It's easy to read on screens of every shape and size, and perfect for long blocks of text.
Welcome to Year One in Room 14
Feathers for Phoebe
At the beginning of the year we read this book as a launching pad to write about why we, just like Phoebe, are special just the way we are! We also had fun making a collage of Phoebe!
Rugby WA Visit
We were lucky to have a visit from the fellas at Rugby West visit us in Week Three of Term One. We had fun learning some drills and playing some games.

"Imagine" by Alison Lester
This term we have begun to read and write about books written by Alison Lester. This week we began to read Imagine. Part way through reading the book, we paused and imagined what the illustration on the following page would look like. We re-read the passage to help us visualise the text. We illustrated our visualisations using water colour paints and then wrote a couple of sentences about what we visualised.

Oh crabs...!
During Weeks 5 and 6, while swimming lessons were on, Room 14 enjoyed listening to lots of non-fiction books. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about crabs and other crustaceans. We have painted our own crabs, making sure we included all the correct body parts, including one big claw and one smaller claw near their mouths. To find out why, ask your Year One student!
We were lucky enough to have some girls from Eastern Goldfields College come into our classroom to read us some dreamtime stories, paint our faces and paint our favourite part of the dreamtime stories on little canvases.

Science Week Incursion
In Week 4, North Kalgoorlie PS celebrated Science Week by inviting lots of different guest speakers into our school. In Grade 1 we had Lainey Gordon from the Museum of the Goldfields bring us in all sorts of interesting objects like magnets, old laptops, spinners and dye to teach us age-appropriate physics and chemistry.
In Maths, we like to use our hands...
