Where are the fish?
Our fish and tank disappeared over the holidays. We had to think creatively what may have happened. Here were the responses:
Gaby
– the fish packed their bags because they didn’t like it when they are lonely
and there are no people.
Feri –I
think any people in the school didn’t feed the fish and the fish is very hungry
and the fish will be dead.
Ye Jin
– I think fish going to beach and make a sandcastle.
Prince
– I think the fish were shot by the United States Army because they want to eat
them.
Rahma –I think the fish didn’t
eat in the holidays. Maybe no one fed the fish because they were so small. If
it is true that no one fed them then I think they died of starvation.
Alaka –
The fish didn’t have anyone to feed them for 31 days so they may have sadly,
sadly very sadly died which is very sad.
Nathan –I
think that the air-conditioner was loose and fell on the fish tank. In other
words the air conditioner killed the fish. Very sad.
Clay
–The fish were hungry so they jumped out of the fish tank and landed to the
ground. The fish were dead on the classroom floor.
Jordi – I
think the fish got hit by a stick and someone came here earlier or last night
and they might be like 16 years old.
Dyllan –
I think a dragon smashed through the door with his buddy, the cat. They ate the
roasted fish but how was it roasted? The cat and the dragon had a camp fire.
Robin –
The fish went to Mars and the rocket got destroyed by a UFO.
Avi –
The fish did not get fed for a long time so they got dumb and mad and they
pushed the tank and they fell and swam out the water and died. After lightning
stuck and they run because they turned into fish humans.
Fractions
We looked at different ways to
integrate learning fractions with
other subject areas. We had two talented students able to play, “Mary had a
little lamb,” with 4 different levels of water. We had the ELC2 students join
us at assembly to sing the nursery rhyme. In art we traced different fractions
to make the scales of a “Fraction fish.” We asked for help from a student in
the Middle School how to add two mixed fractions together. The key we were told
was to make the fractions have a common denominator.
Persuasive posters – Parents, send your child
to ELC1 and 2
This week we have been promoting ISB at Botani
Square. We decided to pay a visit to the ELC1 and 2 area and look at the learning
environment. We then chose our favourite play area and suggested why Ms. Miriam
provided these learning opportunities and how this connects with the PYP
learner profile. The ELC2 students also visited our class and were excited to
see the completed posters about the ELC area.
These are the statements we made on our posters:
Avi – If you have a young child you
should definitely come to ISB because they can have fun in the sandpit. Your
child can learn by building mini houses and castles in the sandpit. They are
being an inquirer.
Robert – Let
your child get to learn in ISB because they could learn how
to
ride a bike. They are being a thinker.
Prince –
Put your child in ISB so they can be smart and play with dinosaurs.
If
you play with dinosaurs you need to be a risk-taker
and not be scared.
Robin – Come
to ISB because there are lots of things that make your
kids
more creative. They can add sand and mud together and build houses
with
that. They get to be a thinker.
Clay – You
have to go to our school because the teacher can help you
how
to be better at being balanced. You
get to learn how to ride a tricycle.
Dyllan – You
can have fun a lot and make friends easily. You can jump
on
the trampoline with a friend. You are being a communicator.
Nathan – You
should go to ISB because there is a very fun place with
dinosaurs
and it gives you curiosity and creativity. You are being a good inquirer.
Jordi – You
can go to ISB because it is very fun and peaceful. You
can
play with bicycles. You are learning to be a risk taker.
Feri –
Please come to ISB. You can play with the sand and make any
buildings
like castles or a car. You are learning to be a risk-taker.
Rahma – Come
to ISB. You can pretend to be
working in a drive through
eating
place and you could pretend to buy the food. You are being a
communicator to
your friends.
Alaka – You
should come to ISB. You can play in
the sand pit and make a
lot
of sand castles and have fun. You also learn how to build. You are being reflective.
Gaby – You
should send your child to ISB because your child can be
creative
by learning how to build stuff in the sand pit. They are being
open-minded.
