Year 1 Descriptor
Students entering Year 1 are immersed into a welcoming environment surrounded by literacy, numeracy; embedded in our core subjects, including IT and technology. The year is started building a group atmosphere while still meeting the needs of the individual students. The individual instruction meets the tactile/kinesthetic, auditory and visual needs of each learner.
Students are taught to become independent, life-long learners through cross-curricular instruction. This is accomplished through immersed personalized instruction, environmental excursions, broad range of literacy and numeracy experiences, co-teaching introducing different teaching techniques. All of these techniques are to develop critical, problem solving thinkers. Students are taught to become independent, life-long learners through cross-curricular instruction.
