Grade 1
Welcome to Grade 1
This is where it all begins! Our girls have started practising their alphabet, as well as learning to read and write. We do matwork with the 4 reading groups on a regular basis, to consolidate and maintain consistency in the ‘learning-to-read’ process. We have introduced them to Kathy & Mark, gradually moving on to Janet & John.
Girls have also been introduced to the addition and subtraction concepts, learning about interesting characters such as Peter Plus & Mr Minus. They have also been practising their handwriting patterns to improve letter formations.
The class has been divided into 2 groups for Art, as well as computers.
On Tuesdays we have Swimming in summer, and Phys Ed in winter with Mrs Davis.The Grade 1 teacher is Mrs Taliep and she enjoys reading. She loves cooking and the great outdoors. Her favourite places to visit are Arniston and Hermanus.
I am Suzanne Deutschmann (Mrs D). This is my first year as a teacher aide. I assist with the Grade1’s and Grade 4’s. I am enthusiastic about being able to help and support the teachers and girls at Oakhurst.
I am married with two children, a son of 18 and a daughter of 14. I love spending quality time with my family and being around my friends.
