"Sports Day was fun and it might have been some people's first time at Sports Day. We enjoyed it because we felt like real athletes. It's kind of like communicating because when other people do something you have to communicate because while you are competing you have to work as a team and have friendships and you can meet other people." - Isabel
"When we went to the Botanical Gardens where we had four activities but because of the haze we got to do three of them. It was really fun so it was mostly about communication, non-verbal communication and some fun outdoor activities." - Aaqil "The field trip was fun because the game was great. I liked going into the garden." - Jay

G2.3 is now on Twitter! Our class handle is @ISSG23. Follow us so you can get more frequent updates from the class!
Congratulations to our new Student Council representatives - Ronen and Isabel! We had our first election in G2.3, and it was quite a race for the positions. We know that our class will be well represented. G2.3 had a lot going on this week! We will be out at Sports Day Friday so the Sports Day update will be next week! This week we were very lucky to have parent volunteers in to share how they communicate within their home cultures! We learned a lot about communicating in Spanish, Singlish, Thai, Philippine, American English and Italian! "I learned that Isabel's mom likes broccoli. Her father or grandmother were born in Thailand." - Ayumi "I learned in Literacy Cafe that you have to use this for reading and it helps you how to do work work and work on writing and read to self and also read to someone." - Archie "We had visitors that was Isabel's mom and Allegra's mom and two other moms from other classes. They teach us communicating from their country. Allegra's mom teaches us some Italian and that Italians speak a lot with their hands."- Ada "We Skyped with Dr. Chris to learn more about sign language because we were learning about different ways to communicate. We learned that many countries have their own sign language. We learned different words from Dr. Chris's husband like "What is your name?", water, and we learned it from Dr. Chris's husband because he is deaf." - Isabel, Ronen "On September 4th, Ms. Kate talked about Student Council. To get on Student Council you have to write a speech to show why you want to be on Student Council and the reason why you do that is to show the learner profiles and 4 Be's. On Student Council there is one meeting in two weeks and you discuss about how you want to edit the school so it's better." - Aaqil
We had the Fun Run last Friday and we heard the results from Mr. Nathan today in Assembly. The results were: Congratulations Somerset, Raffles, Newton, and Orchard! You did a really, really good job! That's not the end because Sports Day is coming so Raffles, Newton and Orchard, you could win. - Aaqil, Archie, Yoojin, Ronen A new student named Daniel joined our class a couple of weeks so to get to know him this week I played with in Math time because it was free Math time. We played Place Value Bingo. After that Daniel didn't want to play so Ayumi and Satoshi wanted to play more so I did. We stopped after the second round of the game and built some objects.- Yoojin It's quite impressive that this week's bloggers are applying their learning from Mr. Gallagher's class too. They created the table above to show the Fun Run Results. Way to go! - Ms. Musiowsky Emma gets ready to chart responses from students as we explore methods of communication. The result of student discussion and charting, they compiled lists of ways people communicate, and determined if those ways were verbal (V) or non-verbal (NV). |
