Learning process

Last week students worked on handwriting, addition, and subtraction, as well as sequence and UOI. To support spelling students used short 'u' in many different activities; to help understand the process of addition and subtraction, students used different tools and strategies. Thank you to those students who shared something interesting about plants with the rest of the class. Students spent some time reading in groups and worked on beginning sounds with a friend using board games.  

Here are some photos...

  

Three-way conferences in the PYP   

Three-way conferences involve the student, parents, and teacher. Students discuss their learning and understanding with their parents and teacher, who are responsible for supporting the student through this process. Students are responsible for reflecting upon work samples they have chosen to share, that have been previously selected with guidance and support from the teacher and could be from the student’s portfolio (seesaw). The student, parents and the teacher collaborate to establish and identify the student’s strengths and areas for improvement. This may lead to the setting of new goals, with all determining how they can support the achievement of the goals. The teacher is an integral part of the process and takes notes of the discussion. These notes may then be used in the written report. All of the participants must understand the format and their roles prior to the conference.

I will send the invitations on Monday. 

Kind Regards

Grade 1 Field Trip

Please check the Homework Diaries today for field trip permission forms. We plan to go to Ferreira's Garden Centre next Monday.
We are going to look at different types of plants. We hope to buy seedlings, pots and potting soil- so we are requesting N$10.00 from each student.
Thank you 

International Day: Argentina 

As per the minutes of the International Day Meeting (click here to view them again) we would like to start collecting donations towards the cost of material for the costumes etc

  

On another note, we're trying to find out information about a mechanical bull to hire! (It was used at the recent Spring Festival in Windhoek and has been used at previous International Days.)
It could prove to be too expensive to hire - unless someone knows of a company who could sponsor us??) Let us know if you have any information/ideas bstephanus@wis.edu.na  and/or jleroux@wis.edu.na

           We're thinking GAUCHOS

          

International Day of Peace 
 Students wrote messages about Peace and hung them on the tree outside the classroom. You are welcome to come and read their wishes and thoughts. 

     We wish everyone a peaceful weekend. 

We would like to welcome our new student, Lauren Cantrell.

 

Hope you and your family will enjoy WIS and Namibia. 
Kind Regards 
Ms. Beata 

Home Activity Sheet for the next week you will find it HERE.

Short 'u'

This week in our classroom!!!

Dear Parents and Guardians, 

We are approaching the end of the term. I would appreciate if you could follow the blog, for some updates and important information. 

We will start with a new unit next week, more information will be posted soon. 

Enjoy a short video of snapshots from this week.

 Students created Pirates portraits and used Chatter Pix App to bring the pirates to life. 

You are welcome to listen to students recording HERE. I think we have a fabulous Pirates in the class.
