Cooperation

Today we presented an assembly on cooperation. We acted out a story about two donkeys who fell down exhausted and hungry because they could not cooperate. We are proud of ourselves for demonstrating cooperation so well. Here is a picture of us cooperating, creating a poster about cooperation.

Another highlight of our week has been interviewing teachers about their cultural backgrounds. In our literacy lessons, we spent time writing carefully worded questions for these interviews. The experience of interviewing a teacher helped us develop in confidence and most importantly we were fascinated to hear about the traditions, values and beliefs of Scotland, South Africa, England and China. Here is Natasha interviewing Ms. Maria about the culture of South Africa. Natasha was able to come back and report her findings to the class. 

After these interviews, we wrote letters to thank the teachers involved. 

We've done a good amount of shared reading this week too. There are some fascinating books that have taught us about what exactly culture is. 

Thank you for attending the parent meeting in the classroom last week. Here is a reminder of the homework routine:

Monday and Tuesday - Passion Project. (Students read books relating to their passion. They then present the information within the structure/ platform provided.)

Wednesday - Thai 

Thursday - Reading for pleasure from the books chosen from the library and approved by the teacher.
