The first few weeks in first grade have been full of learning, discovery and new friendships! Our PYP1 students have been getting to know one another and learning what it means to be part of a classroom community.

Through our focus on cooperation and communication, we are practising listening, taking turns, sharing ideas and working together. We are discovering how kind words and helping hands make our classroom a happy place to learn. 

We have also been developing our pre-writing skills, practising pencil control and exploring lines, shapes and patterns. These important steps help us build confidence as we prepare for writing. 

In maths, we are exploring basic concepts through counting, sorting, matching and comparing. Hands on learning helps us notice patterns and make sense of the world around us. 

We look forward to many more moments of learning and growing together!
