2S Science Lesson

In 2S we have been working hard on our Science Fair

Project. Our project is exploring the effect of breakfast

on pupils' performance.

Research has shown that breakfast is the most

important meal of the day! Each morning from

Tuesday until Friday children in 2S had a Breakfast

Club.

They sat together and eat a balanced breakfast that

consists of; scrambled egg, brown bread, yoghurt and

fresh fruit juice.

Did you know?

Eggs are one of the best food

sources of choline which is

crucial for communication

involved in learning and

memory.

We did a memory task on

Tuesday without breakfast

and we did another memory

test on Friday, but this time we had our breakfast

first! Look out for the results in next week's

newsletter or visit our class during the Science Fair to

see our display.

Year 1 Trip to Alibert

Year 1 children went on a trip to Alibert to look at

different kinds of furniture and the materials they are

made from. The children had a great experience, with

finding different kinds of materials like wood,

leather, fabrics, marbles, glass etc. and what material

was best for different furniture. The staff and

management of Alibert were very welcoming and

friendly with the children.

It was a marvelous experience and the children had

fun. A big thank you to all the staff of Alibert for

accommodating our children with such a warm

welcome.

5A's Talk on the Chinese New Year

Not every country in the

world celebrates the New

Year on January 1st. In

Ethiopia New Year is

celebrated in September

and in China the New

Year will be

celebrated on Monday 8th

February.

5A had the good fortune,

last Monday morning, to

listen to a very interesting

and stimulating talk given

by Li Le's parents on the

Chinese New Year and

how it is celebrated in

China and in Chinese

communities all over the

world. 5A was treated to a colourful powerpoint

demonstrating an array of bright costumes used in

the many parades that take place all over the world

at this time. Presents are exchanged and New Year's

Resolutions made and is very much an occasion in-

volving family and friends.

This year is the Year of the Monkey. The children in

5A were born in 2005 and 2006. 2005 was the Year

of the Rooster and 2006 was the Year of the Dog.

Just as well the talk took place just before lunch as

the class saw delicious looking chinese dumplings

and spring rolls

which whetted

our appetites.

A very big thank

you to Mr and

Mrs Li for giving

up their precious

time to give such

an interesting and

colourful talk on

the Chinese Year.

Once again a very

Happy New Year

to you all, only

this time it will be

on Monday, 8th

February.

1R Class Assembly

1R had an exciting time this morning during their

Class Assembly.

The children laid emphasis on the changes in the new

Science curriculum which include the aspects

Physics, Chemistry and Biology in Primary School

Science.

The focus was on Biology and particularly animals.

The way animals are classified according to their diet

was emphasised.

Wow!! An excellent performance, the children

delivered their lines clearly and confidently.

They were dressed at first in different colourful

animal costumes and it was hilarious to hear them

making a variety animal sounds.

It was impressive to know how

much they have learnt in their

Science lessons coupled with

their extensive vocabulary. The

assembly ended with 1R using

adjectives to refer to these

animals.

Well done 1R for such a

fantastic job.
