Kayleigh had Mrs Richardson for Year 1 - it was an combined year 1/2 class which was interesting. Mrs Richardson was an OK teacher but she didn't like talking to parents so it was hard to figure out what was going on.
I remember that year Kayleigh got excited because she got to have HOMEWORK!!!!! If only that enthusiasm stuck in the later years. One of her homework tasks was to create an Australia themed tri-rama (like diorama but with three sides). Kayleigh did an outback scene by glueing sand to the bottom then sticking pictures of gum trees and kangaroos to it. It was pretty good. In class she had to write a story about it, and I was told it was how the mother kangaroo was trying to cross the river to get to her joey.
Kayleigh also had to make up jokes to tell the class for a homework task - I am sad to say that she wasn't very good at it. Her teacher asked me what they meant as she didn't get it.
Kayleigh's reading was still a struggle in Year 1 - she was almost finished the year and was still on reader level 6 when suddenly it finally clicked and she went to level 11 in about 3 weeks at the very end of term.
