Weekly Update – T1W10

Happy Friday to you all!

We had a very exciting week this week! Our trip to Gyeonju was fantastic and everyone was so well behaved and enjoyed themselves. The show was funny and the acrobats were very talented. The children enjoyed the kids cafe and I might have had too much fun too! hehe. I was very impressed by how well everyone did. It was a lovely day.

In English this week we have been looking at comparing characters and pictures from our two stories “Hansel and Gretel” and Baba Yaga”. We looked at adjectives to describe the pictures and then worked on writing our own sentences to explain the similarities and differences. We also worked on trying to imagine what characters were thinking in the stories and wrote sentences to show the character’s thoughts.

In IPC, we explored Pushing and Pulling and did some experiements. After our trip we looked at all the different pushing and pulling we did and saw that day. How the acrobats pulled themselves up, how the actors and actresses pushed each other whilst dancing, how we had to push and pull the door on our toilet breaks and most importantly, how we pushed ourselves up the bouncy slide! 🙂 We then made a comic strip of various pushing and pulling and illustrated the actions. The children produced some great work! Today we began looking at tents in the circus and the shapes of them. We explored why the audience usually sit in a circle and discovered it is because they can see best. We then tried to create our own seating for a circus using various resources! It was a lot of fun!

For homework this week I have written on it “To be returned on the 12th November” but of course we are off next Friday so homework may be returned the following Monday on the 14th.

That’s all for this week. See you next week for our International Week! Have a fantastic weekend 🙂
