This week, we looked at simple machines - wheel & axle, lever, inclined plane (ramp), pulley, wedge, and screw. Where do we see these simple machines around us? How are they used? How are they helpful for us?
In Language, we recognized what the difference is between a complete sentence, incomplete sentence and a run-on sentence. We also reviewed letter writing by sending Valentine's letter to our special person.
We investigated how to use a pan balance, kitchen scale and a weighing scale - estimating and calculating the actual weight for our Math lessons.
Here they are with their investigating - Balance investigation
The Grade 5/6 class invited us to discuss the robots we made. The students were a bit shy in talking to the older students but after some time, we were able to share in smaller groups.
Sharing our robots
Looking ahead, on March 7th, our class has been invited to the opening of a German appliance store, Miele, in Sannomiya. Parents are invited to come to meet us there as well. If you would like to come, please let me know by February 20 as we need to inform them beforehand. The address of the place is - Park Side Building, 116 Higashimachi Chuo-ku Kobe.
** Visiting Author - Rebecca Ottowa
We have exciting news to share with you about an upcoming visit from a local author - Rebecca Ottowa. She will be visiting our school on 13 March at 3.00 PM as part of our Book and Culture Week. We will send you further details of her visit. She will be selling copies of her book - My Awesome Japan Adventure and we will be holding a book signing event as well.
We will be pre-ordering copies of her book to sell during the event. If you would like to buy a copy and have her autograph it, please order here.
This book is also the perfect present for friends back home as it showcases a very unique Japanese culture. So do consider buying a few copies to give away as presents!
Have a special weekend!
