Newsbooks: writing about "My Best Birthday Party."

       

Everyone has ideas on what a successful birthday party is. The children wrote their thoughts on a very good party they had been to, or how they would like their future party to be. 

Outing to Naturens Hus

        

Anne from Naturens hus gave us a presentation on the life cycle of of a plant. The children were given seeds at their first stage of germination to examine. It was interesting to see the first changes in seeds.

        

After the presentation, we all planted our own seeds; vegetable or flower seeds.  Then we had a wonderful picnic outside. A truly enjoyable outing!

Orientation activity at gym

         

Julia, the gym teacher went through the instructions for the orientation exercise.

         

The children were very good at map reading and finding the different items on their maps.

Job Presentation: working with movies at SF

As we had already very nicely been invited to SF by Victor's mum to see the Lasse Maja movie, many children said they knew what Victor's mum did. Everyone however learnt something new with Eva's presentation. The children thought the best part was watching movie trailers. And who knows? Maybe someone can help for film dubbing in the future?

Easter activities

            

The children worked with the Greenie class for our Easter craft activities. Great team work!

           

Aren't their Easter trees so cute?    

Science: talking about autumn

              

The children first read a text on autumn, discussed autumn signs and then drew/painted autumn trees. Beautiful wok!

More triangle work

               

The children sorted triangles in many different ways: according to color, size and of course according to their sides: equilateral, isosceles and scalene.

               

The children then tried making triangular shapes on the iPad using the app Geoboard. The challenge was to count how many triangles you used in your figure. Not always easy!

Nature walk

              

We went for a walk in the park looking for signs of spring. Look!  grass growing, buds coming out and even the first flowers! We picked out 3 trees/shrubs we will be observing for the next year.

Which triangle?

             

We worked with triangles this week. What properties do triangles have? We talked about 3 types of triangles: equilateral (3 sides the same), isosceles (2 sides the same) and scalene (no sides the same). The children looked through magazines trying to look for these different types of triangles. Fun!

Being a policeman

            

Dan (Alexander) spoke to us about what it means to be a policeman. The children were very keen to contribute to the discussion by telling their stories related to policemen.it was interesting to hear about the resources engaged in police work. Thanks Dan!
