This week our class have been very busy learning to be reporters. First we gathered notes from Chapter 11 of Charlie and the chocolate Factory. Next we organised these into the main events and created our own success criteria checklist. After that we edited to up-level our vocabulary and check for VCOP.  Finally we created a wonderful newspaper report based on Charlie finding the final fifth ticket!

Look out for our drama photos, coming soon! 🙂

Primary 4/5 have also been practising their Badminton skills by demonstrating: gripping technique, hand-eye co-ordination,  positioning, upwards swinging action and serving the shuttlecock diagonally over to their opponents court. Our next steps are using more space and using more force and speed.

On Wednesday Primary 4 & 5 enjoyed some Snowball Madness. We enjoyed having our Snowball fight, a hot dog, snack, drink and a film to watch also.

Kung Hei Fat Choi! This week we have been extremely excited learning about Chinese New Year – it is Year of the Pig. Did you know: The Year of the Pig won’t come around for until 2031, that’s another 12 years away!

Our class have learned a lot about: Chinese traditions, horoscopes, traits, read wonderful stories, painted in Chinese and created wonderful colourful dragons.

Today we completed our week of Chinese New Years activities with having fun in our kitchen. We prepared and cooked Chinese Sweet Chilli / Hoisin and Plum Stir Fry and Noodles. Everyone demonstrated good practical skills using washing, chopping, peeling and grating.

Have a wonderful long weekend and I will see you fresh and bright for learning on Thursday morning 9am. 🙂
