Dear Parents.
It has been another busy week, filled with lots of excitement. Our ABC countdown is a huge hit and the students are really enjoying something a little different in their day.
This week we have had great fun, drawing, wearing hats, exploring spelling apps and reading our favourite books.
In English we started our new unit on information texts. We started to read the book “An interview with a tiger and other clawed beasts” by Andy Seed. The students are learning how to find facts within information texts. We began by interviewing each other and then looking at the story to find facts about the animals. It is a very funny book with lots of silly answers in the interviews.
In IPC we began the week by presenting to Mr Dunn’s class. We made presentations about everything we have learned in our previous unit “Green Fingers”. The students did very well and I was extremely proud of their hard work.
We then moved on to our new unit “Hooray! We’re going on holiday”.The students had so much fun transforming our classroom into a hotel! The children were given roles and had great fun checking into our class hotel. We even had our own hotel room with a nice bed and lamp 🙂 The students were so creative and imaginative and it was lovely to see them so engaged in the activity.
We then looked at holidays the children had been on. They had great fun showing their friends pictures of their vacation and telling them all about it. They interviewed each other to find out where they went on holiday, how the weather was, where they stayed and how they got there. They even tried to make a real life bar graph to see what kind of holiday was the most popular!
We then looked at the kinds of transport people use when going on holiday and also explored the continents and oceans of the world. The students made information cards including the name of the country and continent of their holiday destinations. We pinned our destinations on to our class map.
In PSHE, we looked at our world and the reasons why we love it. The children made posters writing what they loved and included things such as, mountains, oceans, animals, plants and flowers. Next week we will look at what we can do to help our environment.
In games today we had great fun with Mr Dunn’s class, focusing on teamwork. The students were put into teams and carried out a number of various races. The weather was very hot though and we were all very thirsty by the end of it!
In PE this week the children focused on balancing. Mrs. Leah created a fantastic lesson filled with lots of skill practice.
Here are the photos from this week. Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow.
Remember to wear school t-shirts 🙂 Tickets were given to the students today and are in their homework folders.
