All about this week

LITERACY AND ENGLISH

“We have been learning about Autumn.  We took whiteboards and pens outside to look around and we wrote down words of things we saw. When we came back to the classroom, we writed in our jotters what we saw.  We did a mind map. A mind map has a word in the middle and then lines coming out with our ideas.”

Meir

 

“We wrote some Autumn poems”

“I have been working really hard on writing neater.  I now make sure I write on the lines. “

IVRIT

“With Shosh and Mrs Rosenberg we have been learning about how g-d created the world. On Day one g-d made light and dark.  On day two, g-d separated the sky and the sea.  On day three, g-d created the flowers, trees, plants, vegetables and fruit on the trees. On day four, g-d created the stars, sun and the moon.  On day five, g-d created birds and fish.  On day six, g-d made the rest of the animals and a man called Adam.  On day seven, g-d rested.”

All of Primary Two

P.E.

“We had a coach called Tommy come to our P.E. lesson.  He played football games with us.  We talked about different movements like running, hopping and skipping. We did kicking skills and we had to trap the ball.  I loved the lesson.  It was really fun”

Saul

We are the scary, scary monsters of Primary Two!

LITERACY – STORY WRITING

“We have been doing a story about a monster and we have to tell him how to behave.   The story is called ‘The day a monster comes to school’.  We had to write rules for him and drew some pictures and then we got to show our writing to our friends and share the rules we made up.  We have a class monster called Dusgust.  You get to take Dusgust home if you show good behaviour in class.  We also have his cousin in class called Sulley but he stays in school because he is too big. He is MASSIVE!”

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

“We were working with Primary Seven on our skills. We was doing bouncing, gymnastics, dancing, basketball.  We like working with Primary Seven and they mostly wear their gym clothes.  They are kind and very patient and fashionable. They are really good and well skilled and they know lots.”

The Squares Group have been learning about measuring in kg.

“We weighed each other in our group to see how much we weighed.  I remember I weighed 22kg. We used scales on the floor to weigh ourselves.”
