Book Week and the beginning of a new Unit!

Last week was Book Week!

It was a very busy week full of excitement and adventures!

Suppa: Students had the opportunity to meet a book author, talk to her, and ask questions.

Book store: Classes had some time to look at books from a book store and select some of their interest to buy. Parents could then send the money to buy them or come with their children to see them together.

Door decoration: Every classroom decorated their doors under the theme 'Adventures'. Parents can check them out at drop off or pick up time.

Reading guests: Class representatives organised a schedule for parents to come to school and read a book to the class. It was a great opportunity for students to listen to books being read by someone other than their teachers. Thank you very much!

Rotation: Student had one lesson a day to go to another class and have an activity related to Book Week taught by another teacher.

Character parade: Friday was the day of the Book Character Parade! Students could come to school dressed as a book character and show their costume to the community in the parade!

Buddy reading: PYP 5 students had the opportunity to get together with another year group and read share reading.

Bookmark competition: Students could take part in a competition run by the library: to design a bookmark! There were lots of creative ideas!

Spelling Bee: Students could also take part in a lunch time spelling bee to show their spelling skills and win points to their houses!

Apart from all book week related events in school, PYP 5 also had their Super Challenge last week. It was their opportunity to show their understanding of the Unit. The challenge was to organise a healthy picnic for the class. Students had to work in small groups, make a shopping list, select items in the supermarket, compare prices, and make choices to keep to a budget: R$30,00.
They went to a supermarket and had lots of fun while working together on their set purpose. It was a great trip and a good closure to our Unit!

This week we start a new Unit of Inquiry:

Transdisciplinary Theme: How we express ourselves

Central Idea: Careful thinking and planning can help us express ideas.

Lines of Inquiry:
-Personal expression and creativity.
