Good day
Homework for this week has been posted on Mathletics and Reading Eggs.
This week we have continued inquiring into Belief Systems. Please share your personal beliefs with your child. It can be your beliefs about religion, creation, government, etc.
In Literacy we heard some stories from other religions and created a comic strip of one of the stories.
In Art we started on a project creating a mixed media portrait of a religious icon.
In Maths we finished with expanded notation and rounding off numbers. Next week we'll be starting with addition and subtraction.
Things to look out for next week.
As part of our inquiry, we will be celebrating Rosh Hashana on Monday which is
the Jewish New Year. This holiday is
marked by the blowing of the shofar (a ram’s horn) and a professional shofar
blower will be demonstrating how to blow the shofar and will be giving our
students each a turn to blow the shofar.
Our whole primary school will be taking part in this event, as we
believe in widening the experiences and knowledge of our learners. After the blowing of the shofar, we will
celebrate Rosh Hashana by eating special challah bread and apples dipped in
honey. Rosh Hashanah commemorates the creation of the world and marks the
beginning of the Days of Awe. I am hoping that we'll be able to bake some challah at school on Monday.
International Chocolate Day is on the 13th September and we will be selling hot chocolate for 10kr a cup to raise money for Student Council's charities they support.
Upcoming Events
On Wednesday 19th September is International Talk like a Pirate Day. For a 5kr donation to the Student Council Charities Fund, your child can come dressed like a pirate on that day.
On Thursday 20th September, straight after snack, we'll be having a fun Sport's Day for our primary students. Your child will be put into a Colour Team and it would be great if they can wear their colour on that day. More information on this will be given next week.
Kind regards,
Miss Cindy and Mr Wanda
