Germs and much more!

Our week was full of continuing to master our classroom and school routines. We discussed our safety drills as a class - Fire drill, Lock down and Safe haven. The children were very good at following instructions and know exactly what they have to do for each situation. Well done Grade One :-)

Recount writing

On Monday morning we usually write a recount of what we did in the weekend. The students are doing a great job at being risk takers by attempting to write words that they're not so sure how to write. We know that if we come to a word that we're not sure about we can sound it out and write down the letters that we hear. In Grade One it is ok to make a mistake, because that is how we learn :-)

Geckos Choice

We also spent some time this week refreshing our memories about 'Gecko's Choice' and to introduce this to all of our new students at ISPP. We discussed with the class and acted out some of the choices to show our understanding.

Twitter

Please look at the side bar on this blog to see our class twitter posts. It would be great if you followed us so your can see what your child is doing in not only our class but also single subjects too. Ms Leticia has posted some great photos and a video of the students during their PE lessons.

It has been fantastic to see how many parents and extended family members are enjoying seesaw! The support you are all giving your child is so valuable to them and they are loving seeing the likes and comments on their posts. Thank you from all of us :-)

You will have seen our post for Maths this week where we thought of a question with a partner to ask our classmates. The students did a great job collecting data and sharing that information on a bar graph. I hope you enjoyed their explanation of their findings on Seesaw.

Microbes

The results are in!

We were masked and gloved and ready to see how many microbes we had grown. It was so interesting to see what grew the most microbes, it was also a little scary!! A very big thanks to the Grade 7s and Mr. Jones for helping us to learn more about germs and ways in which we can prevent them from spreading.

Buddies - Snacks

A big thanks to our grade 4 buddies that let us take a look at their snacks and divide them into categories of fruit and vegetables, grains, proteins and other. We talked with our buddies abut having a balanced and healthy snack. We also shared what we had learned about foods that we should eat a lot of and foods we should eat a little of and why. We posted our results on Seesaw.

Making Choices

In small groups we did an activity where we looked at many different pictures related to our Unit of Inquiry. We had a discussion about the pictures and shared what we see, what we think and what we wondered. It was a great activity that got the children really using there communication and collaboration skills. These have also been shared on Seesaw.

Have a great weekend everyone!
