Day 10
Our morning began with
mathematics where we built upon our prior knowledge. We initially explored how
many patterns we could make using 4 shapes. The students were shocked at the
amount of combinations we came up with as a whole class. We then decided to
take each pattern and write it in a different way, whether it was with numbers,
letters or shapes.
After mathematics
with had P.E. with Mr. H, followed by a reflection of our beans growth thus
far. The students realized that giving the beans too much water could actually
inhibit their growth and, in fact, make them not grow at all. We also added an
entry into our ‘Butterfly Tracking’ booklet as out caterpillars formed chrysalis
over the weekend!
We then had first
lunch and recess followed by UOI. In UOI students were given a range of animals
which they had to try and sort. In their groups they came up with a variety of
way to do this, such as from small to large and from those who metamorphosis and
those animals who do not.
As a class we discussed the various ways of sorting
and decided that still these did not suffice. Instead we pooled our ideas together
and decided our animals based on their ‘body types’. As you will see in the
images below, the students came up with ‘hair/fur’, ‘slimy skin/scales’ and ‘feathers/wings’.
The students assembled all of their animals and created a graffiti wall which
they were very proud of!
After UOI we had a grammar
lesson where the students discussed features of a full sentence. The students
then got into groups of three or four ready for a sentence game. For the game,
students had to form sentences using pre-chopped up words. The groups competed
with each other to see who could create the most sentences. It was very competitive!
We then had second lunch
and recess followed my French with Mlls. Jessica. After French the day ended
with the students writing in their agenda.
Please kindly note
that Grade 2 EB is hoping to win a ‘Pizza Party’ competition for having all
school uniform labeled. Please help us to win this competition by labeling all
uniform!
Have a wonderful
evening everyone!
