Grade 1:
In Maths this week we have been comparing
numbers! Mr Crocodile has been helping us
decide which numbers are greater than and
which are less than. The students learnt that Mr. Crocodile
is a greedy crocodile and only likes to eat the ‘greater than’
number.
In our English Phonics classes, Ms. Beck King who works for
the UK Read Write Inc programme came into school to
demonstrate her expert skills in how the programme
should be taught.
In science we have been learning all about classifying animals. We also learnt
about animals which are vertebrates and invertebrates!
1L have sorted all the animals which have a backbone from those that don’t.
They then sorted those using Popsicle sticks for the backbone and pipe cleaners
for no backbone.

Science investigations were highly engaging and
students used all scientific skills to learn about
materials. This week’s investigations involved
changing the shapes of materials by applying
forces. The excitement for being involved in the
whole process was clearly visible. Students took
charge of their learning by conducting these
investigations.
In English we have been producing non-
chronological reports in the writer’s workshops.
Some of them worked as a team to produce
writing pieces. Working in groups allowed to
collaboration and team work. We then to
celebrated their success.
In Maths it was fun to watch the learners using
different manipulative sticks to understand the
concept of fractions.

In recent years, studies on gratitude among youth suggest that it
fosters more positive emotions and better attitude towards school.
In fact, the science of gratitude is now reaching a point where
researchers are no longer just defining gratitude and identifying its
benefits but determining the most effective ways to cultivate it.
During our moral education lessons through various activities, attitudes of
gratitude were cultivated among our students. This Gratitude Tree Activity is a
simple way to help them focus on what they are thankful for and to whom they
are thankful. After completing this activity, it was displayed by the students as
a centerpiece for all to enjoy.
CEO Clubs
In CEO clubs our artistic students in ICT Labs with the help
of computer and technological skills design, create and film
short animations. The club provides a platform to those who
wish to explore the world of animation. The club activities
involve development of 3D models.
Animation Club is for students who have an interest in
animation. The student’s meets up to watch/discuss cartoons,
collaboratively work on projects.
