Our week!

We travelled around the world this week with our passports to look at different houses. We had a lot of fun flying from one destination to the other. We looked at the climate in the countries we visited and the different styles of housing they had. We chose a house to draw and looked at the differences and similarities between them.

Mystery Reader

A very big THANK YOU to Nhak Seng (Edwin's Dad) for coming in and reading to us a great book on Thursday. It was a very special day because it was also Edwin's birthday. What a great present!

Nhak read - "The runaway pancake"  retold by Mairi Mackinnon. The children loved the story and recognised that it was very similar to the book "The gingerbread man" They all said that they loved pancakes and they especially loved chocolate chip ones. It is a great tale about a pancake that runs away from all sorts of people and animals that want to eat him but unfortunately he is tricked and things                                       don't end so well fro the pancake!

We helped Edwin celebrate his sixth birthday. A very happy birthday to you Edwin. Thanks for the delicious cakes :-)

Buddies

As always we had a great time with our buddies this week. We have started to reflected a lot abut all the things we have learnt and done this year. I can't quite believe how fast it has gone! Our buddies also talked to us about how some of them have been at this ISPP Elementary campus for 4 or 5 years and that some are feeling a bit funny about the change to the new campus. Of course we are all very excited about our lovely new building but it is an end of an era. So they wanted to document some of our memories of this Elementary campus. The children went around the school and drew one or two pictures of things that really stood out to them that they will remember. They also had a great time making a Lego movie of the campus.

We had certificates this week . A big congratulations to Charvy and Edwin on receiving a very special award each.

Charvy showed that she was a real RISK TAKER. Charvy took on a leadership role on Tuesday when we were over at the Early Years campus. She shared her ideas of how to build the sand shelter and explained to the group what they were to do. Great job Charvy!

Edwin showed that he has been an INQUIRER. Edwin has enjoyed all of our tuning in activities for our new unit of inquiry on Shelters. He has been asking lots of questions and looking in books and on the internet to research and find out more information. Fantastic job Edwin!

Have a great weekend everyone!
