Hi everyone! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The students began their annual inquiry (plants and vegetables topic) last week when they visited a rice paddy. By participating in rice planting with local farmers, the students got to get a sense of just how hard farmers work hard to feed the nation. Mr. Koyama visited the school on Tuesday and helped the students to plant cucumbers and radishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week’s phonics lesson was a continuation of last week’s differentiation between short and long vowel sounds. They played the “I spy with my little eye” game, where they had to listen to the short or long vowel sound word said by the teacher and then search for the corresponding word around the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The students continued their discussion about water pollution and expanded their knowledge and understanding by watching videos, sharing their thoughts and doing worksheets. They talked about how water pollution affects the food chain and drew pictures of this. Sea lions eat fish. If all the fish in the world were to die, sea lions wouldn’t have food to eat and they might die. If sea lions were to die, sharks wouldn’t have food left to eat either and the food chain would be affected irreversibly! Everyone made sad faces and pointed to a picture of a fish that had died from choking on plastic. They said, “stop polluting our waters, keep our fish safe and healthy!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
