The last week of Grade 2 has been a busy one. We kicked off the week with our whole school Sports Day, where the students had signed up for various races and field events. Some of the children even challenged themselves to run the 400m race. The students enjoyed celebrating sportsmanship, physical activity and team-work. Back in class, we celebrated our maths learning through our fraction and sharing picnic. The children each explained what they had brought and how they thought it would be best shared. Then they feasted! The class party was a chance to dance and have fun together as a whole grade. Thank you to the parents for organising it. As a final end to our year, the children each shared their learning or action for our last unit. Isabelle, Ray, Charlie, Hugh, Maria, Yuma, Hyuga, Shoichi- The Garden Group We wanted to make a new garden habitat to attract more insects and animals. Ms. Kate and Ms. Miriam gave us some of their plants from home and we planted them near the big tree, along with some we brought in ourselves. We will look after the garden and keep adding to it. We will also observe it carefully to see if more insects come to ISS. Fedor- Alternative, Sustainable Food When I was researching, I found out about edible plastic and the 50 Future Foods. If we eat more of these kinds of foods and less meat, we can help the Earth. https://www.wwf.org.uk/sites/default/files/2019-02/Knorr_Future_50_Report_FINAL_Online.pdf Evan, Yun Ho- Food Webs We drew food webs from the different habitats. We learnt that all food webs must begin with the Sun and a plant. This means we all need plants to survive. Jiahna- Habitat and Food chain model I made a model of a River habitat. I included some of the problems like people polluting or building dams. Sara- Habitat Poster I made a poster about Rainforests and the problems they can face, like deforestation. Yuuki- Pet Advice Booklet I made a book telling people what pets need. We are responsible for all their needs because they are not wild animals with their own habitat. Towards the end of the week, the children sketch-noted their memories of Grade 2 and wrote a final reflection for the year. Finally, we said good-bye to our friends who are leaving ISS (Fedor, Hugh and Jiahna) and hope they will keep in touch with us all. Hugh brought some donuts as a farewell treat before he moves back to the UK. We also said good-bye to Grade 2- thanks for a wonderful year!
