Swimming is Fun
We have switched days and times so that the students get a chance to swim every week. The children have enjoyed getting back in the water. For your information, we now swim on Tuesday afternoons.  This will change back to Wednesday mornings when the weather gets warmer.




















Maths😃
We are now starting to revise our learning. We were finding out if we could remember how to add and subtract two, two-digit numbers. Some were a bit forgetful but by the end of the lessons, they had remembered.


















Unit Of Inquiry
We investigated how forces are present in our everyday life. 
Dr. Lindsay flew his drone and we discussed and were able to explain how the drone is able to fly. We are using vocabulary such as; friction, gravity, pushing and pulling forces. We can talk about air resistance and tell why objects slow down. (Answer due to friction.)







We investigated the effect of air resistance on our paper airplanes by making movable flaps on the back of our airplane wings.











We investigated how friction slows everything down to a stop, by sliding coins over many different surfaces





English 
Each week the students get into various groups to practice their reading comprehension skills. Children learn new words as they read. They absorb information on how to use words and other language features effectively in their own writing and communicating. We have been practising our spelling in school and also sent home for them to practice. They are improving their spelling skills.








Assembly 
In assembly today, we were celebrating International Mother Tongue Language Day. The students from our class performed in their native language. We enjoyed some great performances. Well done! 








Last week, We celebrated Switzerland 
It was the turn of the Swiss national song to be played alongside the national Thai song last Friday. Here is Sophie celebrating her shared culture with us.

 TEAM WORK This week and next week we are focusing on how a great team works together. Such as how we can do things to help each other and what a great team says to each other in ways of encouragement.  Last week we tried to build tall towers. This week our tall towers were built after we had our chat about what makes a team.  I am happy to tell you that we have started to help each other and work together and talk positively together. Maths   We are learning about tens and ones and what each digit means in a number. Miss Emmi's group are also investigating digits and what they mean when we see them.  English We are starting to experiment with letter names and sounds. We are starting to find ways with computers to learn our letter names and sounds. We tried doing our first writing of the year which I can use to compare how much they have improved by the end of the school year.  U.O.I. We are now aware of the reasons we try to eat healthy food....

We hope you had a relaxing break and are recharged for the path to Christmas.  Please can you support your children with reading at home.  The more they read the stronger they will become.  Here at school we will endeavor to change their book when we feel they are ready to move on to  new book. Here are some works we are proud of from last term.
