In the blink of an eye, September came and went! Both teacher and pupils, and I’m sure parents too, agree that September was a busy but productive month. And the Parent Information evening was a nice way to conclude our first month.
In English our Guided Reading groups have taken off and the girls are enjoying the smaller groups, at their level, and also taking ownership of the class and of the work that they are doing.
We have been going on holidays (imaginary!) in Maths class this week and flying off to exciting destinations. But in order to go on our holidays, the girls have had to convert some Euro to foreign currency. They have also been converting foreign currency back to Euro, so that they can see if they are getting value for money abroad.
We went on a class trip to the Sacred Heart Church to see what we could discover in History this week. The girls worked in teams to fill in questions in their booklets and make connections to the class work from last week. They enjoyed being Historians!
On Friday the girls presented their Science challenge. For those who wished, I set a challenge to design and create a musical instrument, to demonstrate what we have been learning on the topic of Sound in the Science Curriculum. I was extremely impressed with the effort and interest that the girls showed in this project and will find it difficult to pick out some winners! Well done girls. Here are some pictures and recordings.
