Brain Day, Halloween and Loy Krathong- two busy weeks!

Wow! -the last two weeks have been so busy, packed with learning and special events. Here is a round up of them.

Brain day focused on what we should eat and drink to keep our brains healthy. The children learned that the brain needs water with Mr Carey and they did an experiment using flowers to see how they absorb water, much like our brains.

Water is good for our brains

Ms Griffiths helped the children learn what a healthy plate of food looks like-making sure it has a balance of food groups.

Ms Sherlock looked at a story about processed food and taught a song to help us remember our brain food. On Friday in assembly Year 2 sang the song for the whole of the Primary school.

Some of the children were still dressed in Halloween costumes as they chose to dress up in their Golden Time.

Last week we found out what the children know about the Heroines. They were shown photographs of the Heroines Monument and asked who they thought the people were and how they have Made A Difference. We got a wide variety of ideas! We will now begin finding out more about them.
We will be continuing to read a wide variety of information texts including biographies with the children to find out about different people from the past and considering how they have Made A Difference to our lives.

In Maths the children have been collecting data using tally charts and representing the information on bar charts. This has involved them in problem solving activities in small groups-considering how the information which involves large numbers can be shown and read easily.

Thursday was extremely colourful as we celebrated Loy Krathong. The costumes that the children wore were amazing and so were the Krathongs that they made. Thank you to all the parents who came along to help and join in this wonderful day.

 On Friday BISP hosted the biggest Football Tournament we have ever had with over 1000 children from across Asia playing football games. Well done to Tegan who played in the Under 9 Girls Team. She played so well, gave her best  and never gave up!

Finally a huge Well Done to our Year 2 Stars of the week-we are very proud of you! And we would like to welcome Rawad and his family to BISP, we hope you will enjoy being part of this friendly community.

Our stars!
