The second-to-last week means that Upper Primary pupils have been working with guided reading, grammar, vocabulary, spelling and mathematics, just like we always do. But it also means that we start to prepare for the Christmas Fair next week. This week we have been practicing a lot because next week we will perform during the Christmas Fair and we all want to do our best! But the second-to-last week also means that we make sure that we have time for some unexpected and fun activities...
On Wednesday, for example, we had our end-of-term fun. We walked to the Christmas Market in the city centre to practice our ice-skating skills. Some of the pupils in Upper Primary practice ice-skating every week, one of the pupils practice ice-skating every day and other pupils tried ice-skating for the first, second or third time in their lives. It was tricky for some of us to just stand up on the skates, others were twirling around on the ice like it was the most easy thing in the world! We all had lots of fun and almost didn't want to go back to the school again! Luckily we remembered that the parents had prepared coffee morning, with lots of yummy food, and we we started thinking about that it was easier to walk. We ate delicious food!
Last week we printed our sound wave patterns on cards, to give to Pre-primary for their shop. Thursday afternoon it was time for the shop and Upper Primary pupils were as eager as Pre-primary pupils to shop, shop, shop!
The Personal Goal in IPC this month is to think about all the goals we have worked with so far: Respect, Co-operation and Resilience. We, the pupils in Upper Primary, show that we understand these words and that we practice them in our daily activities here at ISG. We every now and then put a post-it on our door, where we keep our own definitions of these words, and show with real-life examples that we are respectful, that we can co-operate and that we want to show more resilience. Parents, you are more than welcome to come and share examples that you see at home.
Parents, for the Christmas Fair could you make sure that boys wear smart pants and a white shirt/top and girls need to wear a dress. Thank-you and we look forward to seeing you all next Friday for some Christmas cheer!
