Well we’re nearly to term break and we’re still learning lots every day!
We began the week by practicing our sorting skills with different elements from nature. We had leaves, sticks, pine needles, and pine cones which we sorted into their appropriate bins. We then used those natural objects to make a painting with.
Robbie the Robot went on a tour of the school and got lost. We had to follow a series of pictures he had taken to go find and rescue him. Then we made a photo book with our own photos to show Robbie around the school so he wouldn’t get lost again.
We used our portraits that Mr. Green took of us at the beginning of the year to create our own jigsaw puzzles. The students really enjoy doing puzzles when they’ve finished their work so this was a fun, new activity for them. It also helped practice their cutting skills.
We watched the story No-Bot, a Robot with No Bottom and reenacted that. We danced with our red robot bottom until we lost it. Then we asked the classmates where it had gone! Finally, we made missing posters for No-Bot’s missing bottom!
By Friday we had moved on from pictures and photography and onto sound. We played Sound Bingo and went on a Sound Walk listening all around the school. We heard sounds of students learning, music from the Hanmaeum Centre, and lots of people preparing resources with the photocopier and cutting papers.
We introduced new Maths and Literacy Centres so while we got to know those, we did not do phonics pull outs this week. They will begin again in week 11. That is why a Spelling Menu did not go home with homework this week.
That’s it for this week! We’re in for an exciting Week 11!
