Day 5

Our morning began in mathematics with the introduction of our new topic ‘Number Relationships’. The students were given a pre-assessment to complete individually before moving to the carpet for a class challenge. This challenge consisted of the students trying to write as many facts about the number 12 The students appeared to love this as they came up with an endless amount of facts! To further extend their learning the students then had to complete the same task for the number 24. Once again the students were inventive with their facts (eg. 17+8-2+1).



 The focus of our lesson then moved to counting objects. The students were encouraged to count in simple groups as oppose to counting individual objects. Many students were able to do this with come confidence.

After mathematics the students went to P.E. with Mr. H.

We then spent the rest of our morning focusing on sentence structures. Students were required to form full sentences from jumbled sentences and also join the beginning of a sentence with the end of a sentence to make a full one.

We then had first lunch and recess followed by music with Mr. Andrei.

After music the students then focused on our IB traits and explored the attitude ‘Curiosity’ and the attribute ‘Inquirer’ in further detail. Following yesterday’s lesson, the students further discussed their own experiences of when they have been curious and acted as an inquirer.

We then had second lunch an recess followed by French with Mlls. Jessica and agenda. As the children were writing their agendas the most wonderful thing happened... one of our butterflies emerged from the chrysalis! The children were so excited!
