This week we started our new unit as part of How we Express Ourselves. We are inquiring into how "Images express meaning". We tuned in by looking at Starry Night which is the inspiration for our Grade 2 concert next week. This has involved collaboration with both Visual Arts and Performing Arts. More of this process will be shared at the concert. We also shared some of the images, signs and symbols that we are already familiar with. The children also shared their images and shapes from home, explaining what the images were and what they meant to them. The sharing sessions will continue next week and we will begin drawing out how the purpose and intended meaning can vary for different images. In maths, we began exploring what we know about shapes and then began building on our vocabulary. The children are already becoming more specific and clear with how they describe shapes. The class have also been enjoying their quiet Daily 5 time, in between concert practices and the Annual Fun Run, which was organised by the SALT group and raised money for the Singapore Food Bank.
