Strathpine State School

Our Year 1 students had a wonderful day at Trevena Glen Farm today! The amazing education team provided many up-close animal encounters and shared fascinating information about the farm animals we have been learning about throughout the term. Students loved the hands-on experiences and enjoyed meeting a variety of animals. It was a fun-filled day of learning, laughter and adventure that will create lasting memories for everyone involved. 🐄🐑🐐🐓✨

At Strathpine State School, we use explicit, direct instruction to help every student become a confident reader.

A typical reading lesson may include:

✅ Learning and reviewing letter sounds

✅ Blending sounds together to read words

✅ Reading words and sentences with increasing confidence

✅ Dictation to strengthen spelling, reading and writing skills

✅ Choral reading, where students read aloud together

✅ Fluency practice to build accuracy, speed and expression

Through clear, structured teaching, our students develop the strong reading foundations they need for success. 📚✨
