International Week 

Welcome to our Blog for this week. 

All week we have been celebrating our “International Week’ Each learner choose country and then thought about questions they could ask themselves, to know more about that country.

On Friday we completed an information board showing what we had learned about our chosen countries. We also had a party and sampled snacks and candies from around the world.

We took part in a dance class with students from "MYP" and watched music videos from other countries. We also sang songs from around the globe.

We dressed up in clothes from many different countries. We had lots of cultural learning this week.

Don't We look Great?








Idea for changing our School Environment

Our unit of inquiry continued this week and we were thinking about the environment. However we were thinking about a specific environment. It was our school environment. So we took a tour around the school and thought about ways we could make our school a better and more enjoyable place to be.

We came back to class and wrote an email to Miss Emmi, telling her what we thought the school needed to make it a better place to work in. Some of the ideas were; more table, chairs and shade in the playgrounds and having plants in the toilets.

We look forward to seeing our ideas become actions

Next week we will be finding out more about how a business is structured so it can function smoothly.











Maths Pull out 

This week the learners showed their understanding of how to add and subtract 2, two digit numbers by borrowing and carrying. Some had forgotten and others didn’t know what to do. So we had small groups to increase everyone’s knowledge.

Next week we will be re-investigating many ideas and increasing our knowledge about fractions.
















English
We do well when we read our stories and need to look for answers in our stories. It shows that we understand what we read. 
Next week, we will be reading poetry.





Assembly

This week we had a fun assembly with our classmates. Mr. Xavi had setup games for us to play. We particularly like playing volleyball and trying out the gymnastics.

Thankyou to the Mums and Dads who contributed with food and drinks from other parts of the world. The children appreciated it very much.

Welcome To Week Four Hello to you all. We are now back on track and everyone is enjoying being with their friends and learning with them,  back at school.  Congratulations These people have all been busy using our "Study Ladder" app.  At various points along their learning journey, in "Study Ladder," the children are awarded certificates to highlight their progress.  Well done to you all!!! FEBRUARY We came outside to observe our calendar and discuss the unusualness of the month of February. We noted the spelling of the word and I pointed out the silent "r" that many adults forget about! We then had a guess at how many days there were in February and the discussed the reason that there are 29 days every four years in this month.  The learners thought that it was very strange that we could just add another day on to a month. PSPE The class discussed the word "Teamwork." We then shared our ideas about what makes a good team, what jobs are ...

Welcome to week 12's blog This week we were busy preparing for our assembly and we hope that you enjoyed the children's thoughts on how they have overcome an adversity in their life. The videos were sent out via the line group this week. Maths This week we have been discovering what fractions are, and how we can write them as numbers. We have learned about halves, quarters and thirds. We learned about the words "denominator" and "numerator" fractions are also useful when we are talking bout telling the time and that is what we will be investigating next week. Library miss Marie really enjoys when we visit the library. We love going there to hear her stories and choosing new books to take home. there is always an interesting activity to complete.

Congratulations Well done to the students who have worked on "Study Ladder" during our qurentine period. these activities are extra learning fun to emphasie the learning that we do in class. This week we were learning about right angles and the different ways that we can reposition shapes. Next week we will be focusing on learning our three time table and properties of three dimensional shapes, as we hope to add the knowledge of angles we learnt this week. English Writing  Our writing has two focuses at the moment. We are trying to improve our grammar and editing skills as well as write interesting stories. This week we started a story online and completed it at school. We asked the children to write about their feelings about learning online. They were able to say why they liked or disliked this situation. Next week we will continue to focus our attention on increasing the amount of words that we write in a story and try to edit the story as best as we can.   Maths ...
