Taking a look a at Year 1:
There was a tremendous buzz and excitement in year one as they documented the growth of their beans. They were comparing the growth of the beans sprouts and were wondering why some bean sprouts were taller than others when all of the beans were planted on the same day. The children were discussing, comparing and coming up compelling reasons why the sprouts were all different in length.
I also visited a year one class during a rather enthusiastic Mandarin lesson. All the students engaged in singing Mandarin songs and rhymes. Watch the short video below!
Reading is a lot of fun when you can talk with your friends about the book that you are reading. This was precisely the case in the third year one class I visited this week. Students were reading on their own or with a friend while others were in deep discussion about favorite pages and characters!
Other exciting events have taken place this week in the primary school. K1 were excited to find their tables covered with leaves, twigs and paint that resulted in a creative afternoon. The K2 classes have been experimenting with mixing ingredients which led to yummy pancakes and biscuits. Experimenting with class made playdough was a huge hit! Year 3 have been preparing for their end of unit celebration on Friday with students involved in demonstrating their understanding of the unit in a variety of ways. Year 5 have prepared all week for their end of unit celebration on Friday - songs/raps/poetry about ecosystems and responsibility.
What a great week! Enjoy the snaps of year one!
