Our learners loved sharing all of their learning on Wednesday! It was fantastic to see so many families in school. Thank you for coming along to see all of the wonderful work that the children have produced this year. Year 3 had fun attempting some tricky yoga moves in PE this week. Some of the positions took a lot of resilience! Year 3 have been having so much fun creating their own Theseus and The Minotaur covers for their graphic novel. The learners started by looking at a range of existing covers to get ideas for: graphics, typography and layout. Using bright colours and bold lettering has helped to really make them stand out. Year 4 have been tackling some tricky area problems, using a range of shapes and layouts. In geography the learners have been using Google Maps to explore direction, using the terms: North, South, East and West. IMPORTANT UPCOMING DATES:

INTERNATIONAL DAY RECAP...What a fantastic way to end LB5! A huge thank you to all the families who helped out with sessions, and to those who provided delicious dishes for the food court. We hope you all have had a restful Khmer New Year break and that you are ready for the final learning block! LB6This week in MP2...ENTRY POINTMP2 have had loads of fun during Entry Point for their new unit Explorers and Adventurers. In new teams, the learners had to set off on an adventure to find clues hidden on flags around the school. They then used these clues to help find the country of that particular flag and recording the Capital City. Team buildingCooperative learning is such a big part of learning at iCAN. At the start of each new learning journey unit we form different teams and get to know each other better. It is a great time to learn how to work collaboratively, practise showing respect to one another, and generally have fun with people that we have not worked with before. Year 3 LiteracyYear 4 MathsYear 4 have been really resilient in maths this week calculating some tricky perimeter word problems. They have had to use their knowledge of shape and apply their reasoning skills to solve these complex perimeter problems. Stars of the Week!

Our learners are really excited to share their learning with you on Wednesday. MP2 learning this week...It's nearly the end of learning block 5 and we have been busy preparing for International Day and having our Exit Point for What's on the Menu. That hasn't stopped us enjoying loads of other fun lessons this week though... 4S Swimming- water polo4S got stuck into some water polo on Thursday and had to be really cooperative to get the ball across the pool. 4G ARTTo conclude the unit What's on the Menu, 4G have been completing their meals using clay and acrylic paints. Can you guess which foods they have included? 3R PE3R have been attempting some tricky counter balances in gymnastics this week! They have had to really use their communication and cooperation to be successful with this skill. Yr 3 yogaSometimes it's good to have a brain break in between learning to help us re-focus for the next task. We love doing yoga in MP2! It helps us relax our minds and energise our bodies.

Year 3
Year 3 used a classic story this week to explore the skill of doubling. We started by reading the story A single grain of rice, and thought about whether or not the young girl had been wise to request double the amount of rice each day for 30 days instead of asking for a certain amount of bags. We were very surprised by the results! Can you work out what Day 30 would be? Day 1: 1 Day 2: 2 Day 3: 4 Day 4: 8 Day 5: 16 |
Year 4
Literacy
Year 3
This week in literacy, Year 3 have been working on converting the story of Pinocchio in to a play script. We first studied the different features of these and thought carefully about which parts should be stage direction or the character talking. In groups, we took responsibility for each scene. We used the colon to clearly show when each character was talking. |
