We are communicators!

Hello everybody

The first two months of 2022 have flown by! In Lower Primary, children are always busy learning and building up their skills! Everybody is becoming a better reader and a better writer!

Our IPC unit ‘Creators and Communicators’ kept us busy!

During our Entry Point we got an overview on the main developments of communication throughout the years, from cave paintings to the computers. The kids created a timeline showing main inventions and the year they were invented. They understood how humans have been innovative creating ways of communications… the kids also started wondering how they will communicate in the future!

We also explored the internet, its origins and how we use it. Kids made a survey about their own use of internet. It was very impressive to see that all lower primary students already knew that too much screen time is not good for our eyes and our brain. Later, we discussed how to use the internet safely. To wrap up this topic, the kids created awareness posters on how to use the internet safely! Everybody did an amazing job

Beginning February, we dove deep into technology! Everybody created an Avatar, we carefully looked at our features to create our own Avatar. We also reflected on the fact that not everything that is on the internet is true or real.  Also in February the kids worked at home creating a video to show to the class their hobbies or their favourite activities. We had so much fun looking at them and also getting to know a little bit more about our classmates. Thank you everybody for sharing!

Our favourite task during this project was recording videos using the green screen technology. Everybody transformed themselves into weather reporters and created their own weather forecast! Check them out on Seesaw! They are hilarious!

We would like to welcome Igor and Lana! And, a big welcome to Ms. Sterre. She is our new classroom assistance. She comes from the NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences. Thank you very much for joining our class!

We wish you all a wonderful winter break! Take good care of your self and enjoy your wonderful and creative children!
