Exciting times in Upper Primary

Upper Primary pupils have done many things these last few days of the autumn term. They have worked hard to finish off many tasks in different subjects. Some of the pupils have worked with Lego WeDo during the Lego Challenge. All pupils have practised their songs and other exciting surprises for the Christmas Fair on Thursday.

There has been a lot of glitter on the floor in the classroom as well, as pupils have worked on their multi-material box. They have chosen materials and made beautiful boxes for different purposes. Their individual taste and style clearly showed during this project. Upper Primary pupils, and Miss Jenny, are proud over the final result!

This Monday parents were invited to our Exit Point. Pupils guided parents around in the classrooms and out in the hallway and told them about the different things they had learned during our IPC unit. ‘Making new materials’ was a fun science based unit and pupils learnt many things - about how to conduct fair tests, how to write a science report and how to use scientific vocabulary. They also presented some of the art work they have produced here in class, the multi-material boxes, ‘Kensuke’s kingdom’ drawings etc. Pupils were excited the whole day and did a terrific job when parents were here. They ended the Exit Point by sharing one of their favourite experiments – “What happens when you mix milk with baking powder?” Some brave people dared to taste the mixture!

Upper Primary pupils went ice-skating this Wednesday. It was +14° and rainy, so the ice was not in a perfect state, but pupils still had lots of fun on the ice. Some of them have been skating for years, others tried it for the first time in their lives. It was a nice end-of-term activity!

ISG had lots of visitors during the Christmas Fair and Upper Primary pupils sang "Happy New Year (nananana"). They did a great job during the show!

Next time we see each other it will be 2016! We wish the whole ISG-community a lovely holiday and a Happy New Year!
