Finžgar’s 5th session

Posted by: Michael Bark on: 3 November, 2009

On Friday the 30th October all the classes concentrated on the topic of Halloween.

The 5th class and 4th class increased their Halloween vocabulary by writing words under relevant pictures, by playing Halloween bingo (which was loved by all) and by completing a Halloween word search. In addition to this the 5th class watched 10 minutes of the first Harry Potter film while the 4th class completed a Halloween inspired menu.
In the 3rd and 2nd class they traced Halloween words and matched them to pictures, played Halloween ’slam’ and traced a Halloween children’s poem. We finished off with a Halloween ‘Simon says’ with each child playing ‘Simon’ in turn.

I’m a little late with Friday’s update, sorry.

In the 5th class we finished the unit concerning be. We created a profile for Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) and we finished with a word search of magical creatures.
In the 4th class we finished the busy town unit and began a new one entitled shopping. With it we revised types of food and expressed what we liked and didn’t like.
In the 2nd and 3rd class we answered and traced questions about what toys we liked to play with. We learnt/revised the concepts of leftand right, by tracing our own hands and by hilariously labelling body parts.

It was a good week and the children really enjoyed themselves.
