SCIENCE
This week Year 8 studied circulatory system and we discussed the following aspects of that: blood vessels, how the heart works and the structure of blood. The class did not find the topic very straightforward, but as we worked on that more, the students became more confident which was a pleasant thing to see. They also have a shown the great interest to various conditions associated with circulatory system, such as heart disease and varicosity, their symptoms and what can potentially cause those conditions. Many students actively participated and, even though the topic did not appear to be easy enough, really enjoyed it. Here is what some students produced this week:
DRAMA
Drama has been quite fun this week, and whether we are working from home, kitchen or even grabbing a quick lunch in the closet, the students have been doing a great job on their filming projects. This week the students have been learning how to make Stop Motion Films. They were set a difficult task of creating a 15 to 30 second film at 30 frames per second. They have been preparing how to create a film, how to use cameras and props in anticipation for the film projects that are coming up this term.
FRENCH
This week, we studied the daily routine in French. How to say "I wake up, I get up, I go to school etc ".
To be more precise, the students learnt the linking words : tout d'abord, puis, ensuite, enfin, finalement. After that, each of the students talked about his daily routine.
To improve their comprehension, they listened to a video about a school day and they had to answer some questions. Finally, they had to read and understand a text about the steps of a typical school day.
PE
It has been a busy week with online learning PE lessons. It has been unusual but very interesting and fun. We have carried out workouts, worked on motor and co-ordinations skills. We have worked with tennis ball. Also, the students have submitted Plank challenge – 2 minutes. There is a lot of enthusiasm! Thank you to all of students for ensuring the lessons have continued, albeit in unusual surroundings!
RUSSIAN NATIVE
Year 9 students continued to work on topic "The Participle" - one of the most challenging topics this semester and some have made really good progress in being able to write the Participles with the correct endings and suffixes.
Year 7 and 8 students learnt about The Conjugations and spelling of the verbs endings. Most students have shown a great understanding of this complex topic.
Year 10 and 11 students continued their work on the examination essay. Y10 students reflected on the principles in our lives. It was so interesting to have the students' opinion on that point.
