Dear parents,
First of all I would like to give a warm welcome to Ida from Norway and Lele from China who joined Middle Primary in January. They have settled in extremely well.
Year 2 have been starting their mornings off with some interesting facts; they are learning so much from our general knowledge sessions.
Our literacy programme is full of new learning; the children are becoming more descriptive in speaking and writing. We have been reading lots of fairy tales, drawing pictures related to them and we are starting to write our own fairy tales.
In numeracy we have been working on subtraction, problem solving and we are now learning about 3D shapes and their properties.
We celebrated Siri’s birthday and Middle Primary were treated to a delicious cake. Thank you!
During the last month Hector, Sofia, Geffen and Rafef have been given our class award of Student of the week, which they definitely deserved as it is very obvious that they are working hard and therefore learning lots.
Hector, Yumiri, Zirak and Ida got to test out their skills at the Lego challenge with Mr. Hans, which brought a huge smile to their faces.
Our IPC topic is ' Those who made a difference'. The children are fascinated with all the incredible people who made a difference to this world. They have worked on individual biographies of significant people and have also gathered information about a significant person from their home country. With all this information gathered, the children made a timeline. We have looked deeply into the work of Antoni Gaudi and the children have made their own mosaics. Middle Primary are now learning about some of the most incredible artists. Why don’t you ask them who they are? Please come up to Middle Primary and have a look at your child's work.
We have real live Mozarts in Middle Primary. Lele, Ediz and Sebastian have taken to playing the piano in the morning, it is just lovely to listen to them. What a fabulous way to start the day!
Till next time. Keep safe, Miss Rebecca and Miss Ana
In Year 3 we’ve been extremely busy practising our numeracy skills, working with fractions, shapes and word problems. As always we are learning while having fun, either working in small groups or all together as a single group. We also have a good time learning with our interactive board. One example is our Abacus interactive programme that proposes different interactive activities. It is an excellent way to learn Maths in the way that children are able to see different examples, solve problems and receive immediate feedback. Whiteboards help pupils absorb information easily and have group discussions. For teachers it is a great teaching tool because we can integrate our lessons, pictures, graphs and make annotations quite easily.
Our reading rotation mornings are now well established. Kids get to read one on one with the teacher while the rest of the class is working independently on different tasks. There is a "task list" where the class keeps a record of the tasks that have been completed. This way every student is responsible for his or her own learning.
This week for the first time we used Lego Story Starter to write and tell our own stories. Story Starter helps the students to create stories in a natural way. It enhances speaking, listening, reading, writing, and comprehension skills. It gets students involved right from the start, motivating them to use their imagination to develop and create narratives, characters, and storylines. After building their stories, students take turns to share their ideas. They can also use the computers to write their story, which enables them to combine words and images to resolve problems in storytelling that they would not be able to resolve using words alone.
