Lots of learning and exploring

We are becoming a wonderful class at Middle Primary, where respect is our goal this month and the children are truly showing how to be respectful towards others.

We have been working very hard in numeracy, both Year 2 and Year 3 are intrigued with 2D and 3D shapes, they are finding this learning both challenging and enjoyable. We have also been making shapes with is a great way to learn about all the properties. The children are back enjoying Abacus online, please ensure that they do there weekly allocations.

In literacy we have been looking at nouns, adjectives, articles, speech marks and the children have been writing their recounts every Monday, therefore practicing the past tense. Guided reading is well underway and the children are reading a couple of books per week.

In IPC Middle Primary have been researching about children not going to school but having to work instead. We took a look into the 1800s when many children had to clean sooty chimneys or operate dangerous machinery in factories, how many children did not have the luxury of a school education. In groups Middle Primary researched and then wrote about the different jobs that children from the 1800s had to do. We have started reading Oliver Twist, and this wonderful story also fits perfectly with our IPC topic.

Music is a magical way to relax and the children have been exploring their feelings when listening to Andrea Bocelli. Some photos in this blog show how touched they were.

Middle Primary are just loving their music, Dutch and sports classes, we are delighted to see such enthusiasm. The lego challenge continues to be a favourite of the children and so far Luka, Geffen, Viktor and Sofia have participated.

We have welcomed Yumiri, from Japan,  to our class, who has settled in fantastically from day one. 

We had the pleasure of celebrating Yashika, Aryan, Diya, luka and Alma's birthdays, thank you for all delicious cakes!

Since our last blog Sebastain, Aryan, Diya, Yumiri and Ediz have all received Student of the week awards. Each child has shown different strengths, from respect to adaptability, thoughtfulness to enquiry, hardworking to overall good behaviour. Well done to you all!

Shubhan received the Headmasters Award as he shows respect towards his classroom and school rules, his classmates and teachers. And he is also an extremely caring young boy. We are very proud of you!

Wishing you all a lovely weekend.
