About Our Class
Welcome to Room 1 at Eagle Point Primary School! We are very lucky to have a lovely class of 18 Grade F/1 students. 

We have a blast learning in Room 1, and enjoy having fun with our classmates. 

Each morning we begin with our 2 hour Literacy block. Our block nurtures the development of skills our students need for successful reading and viewing, writing, speaking annd listening.  We have incorporated all the components of The Big 6 being:  oral language, phonological awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension.

We begin with our Soundwaves lesson ( our systematic synthetic phonics program or "SSP") where we are learning about our letters and sounds. This forms the basis of reading and writing for our students and equips them  with the  skills and knowledge they need to decode words (read) and encode ( write) their own texts. This is a very enjoyable part of the morning as the children love using mini whiteboards to write their new sounds, words and even write a short sentence.

For our Reading and Writing compenent, we explore the texts of different authors and also different genres. We are learning to document our thinking about the books we read, and to then share our thoughts with others. We are learning strategies to help us read, and we are enjoying learning to write and creating our own little books to share.

In our Numeracy block we begin each day by viewing a fun number talk image. This helps us to develop our number sense, speaking and listening skills as well as "seeing" the thinking of our classmates. We are learning various math concepts such as numbers, counting, addition, subtraction, sharing, measurement and shape. Maths is very hands on, and each day you will find us learning by playing math games, using many different hands on materials such as pom poms, counters, teddys, hippos, buttons etc. We also love to explore math concepts out in the playground and often head out to find natural items to count, meaure, sort, and order. 

Every Tuesday our class enjoys Performing Arts ( TBA)  and P.E ( Mrs Simpson). On Wednesday we love getting into the Science room with Mr Johnston and on Thursday's we enjoy Art with Mrs Briscom.

Our afternoons are full of fun and enjoyable activities. Each day is very different!  You will often find us enjoying experiences such as Arts and Craft, Yoga, Junior Sports, Nature Play and Indoor Games as we look forward to a slower pace after our busy mornings. Each Tuesday we are very fortunate to have Rosette come into our class and teach us all about AUSLAN in terms 3 and 4.

Our early years at school are comprised of Reading, Writing, Oral Langauge, Spelling, Mathematics, Science, PE, Art and Respectful Relationships.  Each of our students will have their learning program tailored to their individual needs, whilst still taking part in our inclusive educational setting.
