New classes and learning areas

I felt nervous about the start of the new year but I was happy because I got to see my friends and new people. We got to draw and colour which I really love. We met some new teachers and Julie in the office. We also met some new students. We were excited to go to drama and cheerleading classes. By Sherelle

 

English

We have been retelling and summarising stories. and looking for different words that the author is using in narratives. We have been looking at narratives and we have been exploring the features like creating interesting characters, onomatopoeia, different punctuation and speech. I like how it doesn’t have to be specifically about one thing and that you can be more creative with writing a narrative. It is fun learning to make the stories more interesting. By Chloe

Maths

We started by looking at place value. We learnt about breaking up numbers into thousands, hundreds, tens and ones. We played a game with a number line and we tried to be the first to get to 100 and 1000. Ethan and I tried to also get to 2000. I’m really enjoying Maths because it is fun. By Aaron

Unit of inquiry and Religion

Our unit of inquiry is from the PYP Who We Are theme. We have been talking about culture and identity. We read a book called Soul Bird which is all about our soul. Now we are creating our own soul bird to show our feelings and who we are deep down. By Mitch
