This term in H.S.I.E. Year 1 has been learning about Workers in the Community.  We decided to interview Mr Coote as a worker in the school community.
 Louis asked Mr Coote, “What is your job?”
 Mr Coote replied, “My job is to look after the children, teachers and parents of this school.” 

Maria asked, “Why do you do it?”
“I like children and because I enjoy it.

The children talked about ways they could make Mr Coote’s job easier. The children’s suggestions included; helping in the classroom, helping each other, keeping the school tidy, loving school, putting your hand up to answer questions, taking turns, talking to Mr Coote and listening carefully.

Year 1 are now on the look- out for another worker to interview!

Shared reading has been fun as we have read a variety of Dr Seuss books. The Cat in the Hat helped us learn about rhyming words. Did you know that words that do not look the same can still rhyme, for example, new and too. We also read Green Eggs and Ham, which inspired us to cook VERY green scrambled eggs! Delicious!?
Cooking eggs fitted very well into our Science topic, A Healthy Lunchbox. Why not ask a Year One child about Freddy Five Group and Regie Vegie. We are looking forward to learning even more about healthy food next week when we visit Bollywood Veggies.
