5th grade craft
We made some Arts and Crafts in fifth grade on Thursday. Halloween Straws! Remember to use them on Halloween. I'm sure that your chocolate milk will taste better than ever before with these magic straws! Have fun!
Halloween Concertina
2nd grade students had a great time learning this Halloween tongue twister:
In a big, big house there's a small, small witch with a big big hat.
And the small, small witch with a big, big hat, has got a small, small cat.
And the small, small witch with a big, big hat, has got a small, small cat and a big, big bat.
And the small, small witch with a big, big hat and the small, small cat and the big, big bat say: "Happy Halloween!"

Halloween with the little ones
During the last few weeks, we learned many things about Halloween. From lots of vocabulary to a song. And even a chant about 5 little pumpkins. Children loved playing with all these stuff, too! Ask your child about it.
How to Carve a Pumpkin for Halloween
A well-known tradition is to carve a pumpkin for Halloween. Have you all got your jack-o-lanterns ready? Just in case you didn't have enough time to do it, go to your nearest grocery and get a nice pumpkin. Follow these steps to have the best jack-o-lantern of your neighbourhood. Ask an adult to help you.
1. Put an old newspaper under your pumpkin before you start working.
2. Ask an adult to cut a circle around the stem.
3. Remove the stem and dig in.
4. Use a big spoon to remove everything from the inside of the pumpkin; seeds and flesh.
5. Use a marker to draw the eyes, nose and mouth.
6. Ask an adult to cut out the face.
7. Put a candle inside the pumpkin. Switch of the lights and watch how it glows.
Have a nice and safe Halloween! :D

5 Little Pumpkins
We are learning a traditional Halloween Chant in 1st grade. 5 Little Pumpkins sitting on a gate...
P5 Medals
We are learning the colours in P5. As you may know, each child wears a medal during the English lesson. These medals are related to our Little English Book. Every Thursday, one kid gets the chance to take the book and an English music CD home. Hope you enjoy the book and the CD as well as we enjoy them in the classroom!
5th grade notebooks
Some of our 5th grade students turned out to be artists! We started unit 2 and they decorated their notebooks brilliantly. Check the photos.
