The Changing of Seasons

Welcome back to our blog. 

Middle Primary have been OH so busy! Our IPC topic the last weeks has been focused on health and exercise, they children have learnt about the different food groups and the food pyramid. We put the children to a food tasting challenge, where they had to categorised the different foods they were tasting, from homemade pasta to rice dishes, pear to passion fruit, nuts to dried fruits. It was an enjoyable yet flavour finding and understanding of the true importance of healthy food. We also looked into the importance of exercise on the body and how we benefit from regularly exercise and about our organs and their uses. Each child received a certificate of completion of a Nutrition class. ´Oliver Twist´, the film,  has been our Exit Point of ´The Generation Game', as Oliver and his hard life has been extremely influential in our learning these last weeks. 

In numeracy, Year 3 have been focusing on the calendar: days of the week, months of the year, a leap year, and learning to tell the time to the nearest 5 minutes, also comparing, ordering and understanding place value. While Year 2 have been problem solving and also working on mental addition and substraction.

The children have now started book reviews, with a special focus on punctuation and the use of adjectives. It is wonderful to see how your children are growing with the English language, they are becoming real little writers.

With Halloween the center of attention the last week, we have been decorating our class entrance with halloween and autumnal themes, Middle Primary have been learning about the different fruits and vegetables of this season. Our halloween party was so much fun and every one of us was a bit spooky!!!!

Well done to Zirak and Yashika who have received the student of the week.

For now we wish you all a wonderful and relaxing autumn break.

See you soon.

Miss. Rebecca and Miss. Ana
