Celebrations!

This has been a short week but we've done so much!  They oral presentations on the research topics were fabulous. Thanks for all the hard work that went into these at home. There are 2 photos on this page, but the rest of them can be found here. 

Nick is ready to present his work about Giant machines.

Zara told us lots of interesting facts about fish, especially the clownfish.

I also videoed each child as they spoke. The files have been compressed, so I hope you can view them from home. Look for them here.  If you hover the mouse over each file, you will see the child's name on it.

Here's a little 'test' video I took of the class at work. 

Today we had a celebration because we have finished the Non-Fiction reading and writing unit. Mr. Woody's 4th Grade class came down and rotated around the room, listening to my students talk about their research projects and diorama.

Shreya and her classmates say "Cheers" with cupcakes to celebrate the end of the Non-fiction reading and writing unit. You can see Ruoyan in this photo too -she came to visit us today since her own Singaporean school is on holiday.

St Patrick's Day -since there is no school tomorrow, we all came to school dressed in green today. Imagine the shock when the children entered the classroom to find books on the floor, chairs overturned, toys strewn about and everything in a mess. We think it was a leprechaun because there was a trail of green glitter throughout the room AND a gold (chocolate) coin in every desk drawer. There are more photos of St Patrick's Day here.

Amber was pleased that the leprechaun left a gold coin for everyone.http://www.sas.edu.sg/gallery/10-11/Q3/PS/Grade_1/Woodfield/Leprechaun%20in%20the%20class/index.html
