This week Grade 2 continued cooperating on collaborative projects about past extinctions. Using the information that they gathered from last week's reading comprehension work they researched about some of the unknown creatures that disappeared long ago and used their artistic talents to create diagrams displaying how some of them went extinct.
Students also had the opportunity to learn from their classmates about some of the recent extinctions by watching their videos, slideshows or printed books.
In math, we learnt how to measure capacity of liquid in containers and practiced calculations which required converting litres to millilitres. We also did some experiments to see the connection between ml and cc (cubic centimetres).
On Monday, we enjoyed a special basketball clinic with some members of the Hyogo Storks basketball team! Grade 2 was happy to show off their skills! It was a lot of fun!
Finally, in PE we continued practicing for next week’s Sports Day! Please see below for more details about Sports Day, Sleepover and the Spring Musical.

Spring Musical 24th and 26th April
Thank you so much to everyone who has signed up to come and see our Spring Musical on the evenings of Wednesday 24th and Friday 26th April. We are very happy to say that all the seats are now fully booked.
If you were successfully able to sign up using the link in the school blog, then we can confirm that you do have the seats you have requested. Rather than giving out individual tickets, we will be checking a list at the door for each performance to confirm that everyone is attending. In place of charging for tickets, we ask that you make a donation at the door that the children will give to a charity of their choice.
Should you have any questions at all about the musical, please do not hesitate to contact Ms Azusa, Ms Schelin, Mr Sam or Mrs Harris.
