Grade 2 continued researching topics that interest them and then they learned how to create a slideshow using Google Slides to share their new knowledge with the rest of the class. The presentations are going really well and we will continue them next week.
Along with presenting, the students began working on their next projects to find out about inventions and inventors and to learn about the reasons behind the inventions.
In math we finished up our geometry unit by making some models of 3D shapes using toothpicks and play dough to create some prisms and pyramids.
We also started a short unit on addition and subtraction. We began with the students thinking of the different ways that they know how to solve and represent addition problems. Working in pairs they tried to think of at least 4 different ways to show addition and then the groups presented their ideas to the rest of the class.
In PE, we continued to develop karate skills as we learned a new stance, Zenkutsudachi. We also practiced some punches and learnt our first kick - Maegeri (front kick).
On Wednesday, we visited the library to read together with out reading buddies from grade 4.
Today we celebrated St. Martin’s with a short play by the German students in the morning, followed by some songs and a short parade around the island after school. Despite the weather it was nice seeing so many families out and the student didn’t seem to mind the rain as they were happy to walk with their lanterns!
