Where we are in Place and Time
UoI
This week we inquired a little deeper into how artifacts can help us learn about the past. On Tuesday we searched the playground for buried artifacts and thought about how archaeologist feel when the are looking for clues and what the artifacts we found are.
We looked at some images of the land around Phnom Penh from 2010 - 2018 and observed the changes in the land and looked for evidence of change over time.
On Friday our Teacher Assistances brought some Cambodian artifacts to share with the students and to learn more about the place we live.
Math
We have been working on coordinates for the last two weeks. We completed our unit with a hidden picture where they needed to use their skills of reading coordinates to find the images.
Literacy
Our writing genre for this unit is narrative. We have been focusing on character descriptions this week. Students will begin writing their own narratives next week.
Field Trip
To find out more about Cambodian culture and history through its artifacts, students will visit the National Museum on Wednesday 24th January 2018 from 9:30 - 11:45.
The staff attending the field trip are Courtney, Karyn, Johnny, Petra, Yin, Dalish, Chanty and Boramey.
We will be traveling by bus. A guide from the museum will accompany each class and explain the significance of the artifacts to the students.
Upcoming events
Next Friday 26th January students will participate in their first fun run at ISPP. Students will be running to promote healthy lifestyles and fitness. Grade 2 students will run for 20 minutes from 8 - 8:20am. Students will need to wear their house t-shirts.
