Third and Fourth Class pupils are delighted with all they have been learning about the Ancient Egyptians. We set up a table in school where pupils brought in books,photographs,ornaments,bookmarks made from papyrus,etc. which made our History classes so interesting.
Iris Folding Cards
We are delighted with our Iris-folding cards.
Iris folding is done by arranging and layering strips of paper in a spiraled pattern that resembles the iris of a camera lens. That’s how this craft got its name.
Well done Third and Fourth! Super work.

Amazing Animal Projects / Presentations
We have been learning all about Animals from Around the World in First and Second Class. Each child has their own ‘Animals Around the World’ Project Book, where they draw pictures and write about the different animals we are learning about, each week. We examine powerpoints and video clips about the animals, discuss what we have learned and then record what we have learned about the animals in our projects. So far, we have learned about many animals from around the world including, brown bears, red eyed tree frogs, squirrel monkeys and toucans.
For homework last night, the pupils completed a one page project on an animal of their choice. They completed wonderful projects and each child had the opportunity to present their project to the class, today. We all learned some very interesting animals facts from listening to each other! 🙂
Spider Webs
Our First and Second Class Pupils painted some very bright and colourful Spider Webs for Art Class, this week. Some pupils even mixed their paint colours up a bit to create some new interesting colours – very creative! Each pupil cut out a scary spider to stick onto their web when the paint had dried! They look great!! 🙂
Maths Dice Game
Subtraction is new to First Class this year and they are doing so well with it! We played a Dice Game, in pairs, during Maths class this week to develop our understanding of this new concept. This game has definitely helped us to get the hang of Subtraction!
