Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Wesołych Świąt i szczęśliwego Nowego Roku to all of you little friends.

How to make a paper star

To make a star you need 6 lists of paper ( one for each corner).
Follow the picture instruction, please.

You have to glue the opposide corners (the same numbers together) but each time on a different side of your star. One corner is ready. You have to make six of them and connect all together.
Tomorrow, we'll ask Ania to do it again, step by step, and we'll make pictures.

A star

You can find the same star in our classes.
The one below, has been prepared by Ania, the third form pupil.



Can you see its edges? She was using special scissors.

It is snowing !!!

It's time to learn a winter song. What about this one?

Winter song.

It is snowing!
It is snowing,
falling down
falling down.
Winter winds are blowing,
Winter winds are blowing.
All around, all around!

(Tune:Frere Jacques)

An English lesson

Learning about school iteams was not so difficult. I'd say it was easy to find out all hidden elements.

Ola is a patient and hardworking girl.

What's in your schoolbag?

Looking around our school, we haven't forgotten to look into our schoolbags. What have we found there?

Recycling

Last Thursday we went out and spotted 3 colourful bins opposite the road. These bins are used to recycle glass, paper and plastic.

What is recycling?
Recycling means taking materials from products you have finished using and making brand new products with them.
Who recycles?
Everyone can recycle. You can recycle at home and at school. Your parents and other adults can recycle at work.

A rainbow song

As a follow up activity for Pērse school's photographs we suggest a colourful song

A Rainbow Song

Rainbow purple
Rainbow blue
Rainbow green
And yellow too
Rainbow orange
Rainbow red
Rainbow shining over head.
Come and count
The colours with me
How many colours
Can you see?
1-2-3 on down to green
4-5-6 colors can be seen

Tune - press to hear music

Spiders

Do not be surprised, but we found spiders.
We decided to look for them because of the song

"Incy Wincy Spider" (press to watch and listen)

Incy Wincy Spider
climed up the water spout
Down came the rain
And washed poor Incy out

Out came the sunshine
and dried up all the rain
and Incy Wincy Spider
climbed up the spout again

Once we had learnt the song, we left the school in search of spiders.

We came back to finish our work

Body parts

Pupils are taught names of body parts during their English lessons.
They usually point at their own heads, noses, eyes, ears.
We sing this rap song, as well:

Touch your head, touch your nose.
Touch your tummy, touch your toes.
Left hand, right hand, clap, clap, clap.
Left foot, right foot, tap, tap, tap.

These are squirrel body parts.



The squirrel has:
a small head, a small nose, a big tummy, long legs and a fluffy tail.

Tree trunk rubbing

There are tall trees growing in front of our school in Jaźwina.

To see how the tree trunk looks like, the second grade pupils went out to check it.

Pupils had lists of paper and a colouring pencils with them.

Here are some of the results. It is easy to notice, they are not smooth.

Autumn leaves

Having some leaves collected, the second grade pupils have displayed their foundings.

drzewo - a tree
jesienne liście - autumn leaves

brzoza - a birch
dąb - an oak
grab - a hornbeam
kasztanowiec - a chestnut
lipa - a lime

They prepared animals portraits with dried leaves.

Animals in a forest

The third grade pupils went to the forest in search of animals living there.
They wanted to meet a hedgehog, the animal they've been learning about recently.

A squirrel at school

We would like to share this nice picture, it can be used as the first dictionary word.

In Poland we call it wiewiórka - a squirrel
