We have focused a lot on geography during this IPC unit. Atlases and maps are now familiar objects in the classroom and we know how to use the key to understand the map. During our lessons we have designed airports and airline logos, so we know that we have to think about layout and colours when we design things. We have learned more about making adverts and how to use persuasive language. We were supposed to have our Exit Point this Monday, but sadly enough Miss Jenny was ill, so we had to cancel that. Our countries, adverts and airline logos still hang in the hallway though, so you can come and look more closely at them after the holiday. You can also take a look at our 'good global traveler', to learn more how to prepare your own journeys in the future!
We really liked this IPC unit, we have learned so much and we have tried to use our knowledge - we have discussed a lot of things, we have read and written texts and we have created a lot of beautiful things (countries, logos, adverts, airports etc.). We hope that you at home have noticed that we know more now as well!
We have also talked about two important personal goals during this IPC unit. We talked about adaptability last week, and now we know what thoughtfulness means. Thoughtfulness is the schoolwide focus this month, and we thougth that it was a good personal goal to work with, both with Valentine's Day is coming up, but also because it is such a beautiful quality. Someone who is thoughtful thinks a lot about others. He or she is warmhearted and kind. He or she helps others and shares love. Someone who is thoughtful understands a lot and shows that in his or her actions. We have prepared beautiful art work this week to share with people we love, so we hope that you like your gifts!
We ended our week with Carnival. Primary pupils went swimming in the morning and only put their costumes on in the afternoon, but we think we looked lovely! We had a very cosy afternoon up here in our classroom, we finished off our gifts and then we had an extra long choosing time. Upper Primary pupils were happy the whole afternoon. After the last break it was time for music class with Mr Simon and then it was home time! Now we have one week of holiday! We wish you a lovely half-term holiday!
