Mother's Day

My Class 3 students made some very creative cards for their mums this week. I shared with them a few verses to choose from and copy onto their cards.

At school, we organised an event called The Prettier Side of the Medal on Women's Day. Our students had the chance to meet several successful sports and other successful women in our area. Our young reporters also interviewed some of them.

HIPPO 2019

Three groups of my students took part in the preliminary round of this year's HIPPO Olympiad organised on 1 March.

The Adventures of Sea Girl

One of the activities of the eTwinning project A Bridge Across the World was to write and illustrate a story about the Sea Girl based on a book by the Portuguese writer Sophia de Mello Breyner. My Class 3 students collaborated with our partners from Portugal and Ukraine and here is the result.

Monsters

Since my younger pupils love making something with modelling clay and our topic was Body parts, I asked them to use their imagination and make some monsters.

GSPD 2019

This year, on Global School Play Day, we joined over 530,000 students around the world and spent a day playing games.

So, on 6 February, my Class 3 students brought their board games, cards, memory games and just played with their friends.

 

Online Safety

On Safer Internet Day, we read a book about the adventures of Smartie the Penguin and talked about the risks on the Internet and what to do in such situations. We agreed that the best thing would be to stop, think and ask help from an adult.

My older students discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet, played online quizzes, drew posters and a few of them made a video survey.
