Mrs. Sim – Weekly Update Term 1 Week 10

Hellooooooooo! Happy Halloween 🙂

What a great end to the week! The Halloween party was a great success and the children all had a fun time. The costumes were all amazing. They looked so good!

The excitement levels were definitely rising in the classroom as the party came closer! Let’s take a look at what we got up to this week 🙂

In Literacy, we have been exploring London through our character “Katie” in our new storybook “Katie in London”. Thank you to everyone who watched the little video, I could see the students had learned all the sights over the weekend and they were all eager to answer questions about them. I would love to take them all on a field trip to London hehe!

In lessons, we labelled the sights, wrote a postcard back to Katie and practised using adjectives to describe a picture of a busy street in London.

In IPC, we have come to the end of our unit “SuperHumans”. I would like to once again thank Nila (Naka’s mum) for a superb introduction to this unit. It was a fantastic unit and we have had a lot of fun learning about our amazing bodies, the senses and food groups. This week we looked at where our food comes from. We did a little sorting activity putting various foods into the correct categories. I gave the students a challenge to create a dish for a child their age. They had to include, carbohydrates, protein and vegetables. They did a great job of these and they turned out beautifully.

No Homework this week
