Since we started school on Monday, we have been busy! First of all, we are starting to get to know each other better. We have played name games, we have talked about ourselves and we have shared the flags that represent "our countries".
We have a completely new classroom and we really like it! It is a beautiful room, with lots of light coming through the windows and with lots of space. It is really a perfect Upper Primary classroom, we think. The atmosphere in our classroom is open, warm and friendly and we all dare to share thoughts, questions and ideas.
Of course, since we all have new desks, we have made name tags for our desks. Not all books have been handed out yet, Miss Jenny takes it step by step, and there will be no homework this first school week. The first book we got was the Literacy workbook and we have all written a text about ourselves. It was really interesting to share the texts, because we represent so many different countries and together we speak many different languages! We have talked about our favourite sport activities and some of us have talked about sports that we would like to try out. Zorbing looks interesting, we all agree on that!
We have been working with patterns and the capital letters of our names. These pieces of art are already hanging in the hallway. Today we made imprints of lavender, fern and rosemary in clay. Tomorrow when we come to school, it will be interesting to see what the imprints look like and if the clay has already dried.
It's hard to imagine that school started only three days ago. We haven't even told you about all the things that we have done during these first days, about books we have read, spelling tests we have had, numeracy activities that we have completed and handed in to Miss Jenny! We will tell you more about our school days, IPC topics, numeracy and literacy tasks and personal goals that we want to reach, so just keep on reading our blog. Upper Primary is looking forward to a really fun, exciting and interesting school year!
