Welcome to the new blog format for our class!
This will allow all of you to see more photos and information from our class, I hope you like it!
This week at Abroad Intentional School it was science week! I am sure that you heard many things about what your children discovered this week.
We made paper soup by cutting up the scrap paper we have been saving in our classroom with our table mates. Everyone really enjoyed this activity as we are all very good at cutting and are improving our fine motor skills.
We then added warm water, and mushed up the paper with our hands which was a little gross for some and an amazing activity for others who found no end of pleasure at playing with this squishy concoction, finally we left it to soak.
Next week we are going to be drying our soup and making it into recycled paper!
Later in the week we were invited by the big kids in grade three to learn how to make slime!
We really enjoyed learning something new and many remarked that the big kids were really friendly
As a thank you we gave them cards with a picture and seeds we had glued to them so that they could grow the same kind of plants that we are growing at home. They also gave us the slime we made together so that we can continue to remember the fun time we had!
In English this week as we have mastered recognising the letters of the alphabet we are now moving onto short three or four letter words and sounding out how we should pronounce them, in future blog posts I will be adding our word lists so that you can practice at home.
A favourite toy in our class are the large Lego blocks which seem to make an appearance at any and all play times.
This particular tower was designed by one of our students and they instructed their class mates how to build a taller stronger tower with less blocks.
We were all happy with the results!
Finally we spent time in the park again with our friends, playing whats the time mister wolf, building sandcastles and hanging out with our buddies.
I wanted to share a favourite hang out spot in the park.
