The boys worked cooperatively today to retell narrative stories. They identified the title, setting, characters, problem and solution of their stories. We have been working on narratives in our writing and the boys have made super progress.

The boys in Prefab 9 always do their best! Look at the focus and concentration they show as we work on bigger numbers during Maths. We are so proud of them.

Today the  boys spent time investigating with magnets. We learned that a magnet is a material that produces a magnetic force called a magnetic field. Magnetism is an invisible force. The force attracts some but not all metals. Magnets have a north pole and a south pole. Opposite poles attract and like poles repel. First, we investigated how magnets attract and repel. Then we investigated in our classroom. Finally, we explored whether magnets can attract metals through other materials. The boys love our Science lessons and we had lots of fun conducting today’s experiments.

We had a fantastic start to our Friday Club with sixth class boys. There was lots of fun and healthy competition playing Uno. Sixth class boys were a tremendous help teaching us the tricks of the game. We can’t wait to play again next week.

We are learning about Antarctica, about its climate and the animals living there. We learned all about penguins and produced stunning penguin paintings.
