Japanese Experiences in P4/3

Leave a comment

Today has been an immersive day in lots of things Japanese.
We enjoyed experiencing some Japanese anime when we watched My Neighbour Totoro. This is a very popular anime created by a Japanese film studio, Studio Gibli. We watched a little part at the beginning in Japanese and then we changed it to English.
We then looked at the Japanese alphabet and tried writing some sounds in Japanese and we practised writing the Japanese words for animals. We found lots of the symbols were complicated to write.
in the afternoon we had a taster session of some Japanese food and we tried to use chopsticks to eat it. We tried sushi and some mochi, the mochi was definitely more popular than the sushi.

Lill y- I didn’t like the sushi

Jenson – I didn’t like any of the food, the outside of the mochi was weird

Freya – I loved the sushi and the mochi

Macie – I loved the mochi, especially the ice-cream inside.

Siena – I thought they were both the best thing in the world

Jorja – It wasn’t good.

Abner – I liked everything, the ice-cream and the sushi

Grace – I loved it all especially the sushi with the soy sauce

Joseph – The mochi felt weird in my mouth, it has a funny texture

Jake – I liked everything except the soy sauce and the outside of the mochi

Lucy – I liked everything because the sushi was really nice, I liked the seaweed and the mochi was a different kind of ice-cream.

Philip – I liked the ice-cream but I didn’t like the sushi

Jude – I didn’t like the sushi, I didn’t like the taste of the seaweed but I liked the mochi

Amber – I didn’t like the sushi but I did like the mochi

P4/3 pray the Holy Rosary

Leave a comment

The month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary due to the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary on October 7. Praying the Rosary helps us to reflect on the life of Jesus and His mother, Mary, by meditating on the Mysteries. We  learned about the four sets of Mysteries: Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, and Luminous, which reflect the life of Jesus and Mary. 
We all had a set of Rosary beads today and we prayed a decade of the Rosary. We will do this regularly throughout the month.

Fun in P4/3

Leave a comment

Each week we love our time outdoors with Miss Nelson. Last week we were out in the woods exploring and playing. We were given a task to create a home for an animal using any materials we could find lying around. We used acorns, sticks, leaves, stones, string, little pieces of bricks and rocks.

We have been learning to read and say numbers in French. We had fun playing snakes and ladders using a French dice.

House corner in P4/3

Leave a comment

 

In our classroom we have a house corner which we are always changing. Last week we had a business meeting which Joseph chaired and Riley took the minutes.  During this meeting we all got to share our ideas for the house corner and what we would like to turn it into next. We thought about the time of year and lots of us had some very creative ideas. Afterwards we had a vote and it was decided to turn it into a haunted cinema.

We then worked in groups to create the haunted cinema. Some of us painted cardboard to be the outside spooky cinema building and some of us painted scary characters to decorate the inside. We discussed that we need tickets and money and a group of us made those. We made promotional posters which we will display to show which films are on in the cinema and we were very creative in making lots of snacks for the snack stall. We now have lots of popcorn, sweets, chocolate and drinks we can buy when we go to watch a film.
