We had a fun, short week with plenty of learning and lots of excitement.
Before I begin, let me just give you this week’s homework. We’re learning about animals, habitats, and nature in IEYC. This week for homework, take a walk somewhere in nature. It could be a park, the beach, a river or lake, or even farther around the reservoir than our class’s short walks. Look and listen for any animals you may see. I know you will see some birds but do you see anything else? Feel free to take some photos and send them to mariemcclellan@hyundaiforeignschool.com for our sharing time next Friday. There is no phonics homework to send home this week as we did phonics assessments ahead of the report cards which will be going home soon.
In IEYC we continued learning about animals and nature. We learned a bit more about bears and did a hidden bear activity sheet. We also went for another walk around the reservoir and collected some rocks. We brought those back to school, washed them, painted them, and made pet rocks. With all the rocks that didn’t get turned into pets, we inspected the rocks. We were able to find “shiny rocks” which was quartz. We sorted the rocks into different piles according to attributes like size or texture.
I: Ice Cream Day – we enjoyed a cone of vanilla ice cream and sang happy birthday to Ms. M.
J: Joke Day – we tried our best to tell jokes although we’re still a little young. We made a joke colouring book!
K: King Day – The boys wore crowns and got to choose things like our hello song and numbers song.
L: Lollipop Day – We enjoyed a lollipop while reading a story.
As the Upper School was in Geoje, we had a special assembly where we learned about kindness. We talked about what it meant to be kind as a whole school and in teams we did a Kindness Bingo!
That’s it for this week. The weather this weekend looks dryer than last so be sure to enjoy it! We’ll see you Monday!
