My new school

Dear Followers!

I started my new school on Wednesday. It is a montessori school and very different from St Felix.

We start school at 8.40am and finish at 2.40pm. My teacher is called Miss Honna and her helper is called Don. First we put our lunch bags away and hang coats up then we we have a class meeting. This is were we do sharing of things that we have brought in from home like toys or books. After this we go to our desk and the teacher sets stuff up for us. Its not like work sheets its more like games. Today, for example, we played a subtraction game where you have skittles and beads for 1000's, 100's ,10's and units. They are different colours. The 1000's are green, the 100's are red, the 10's are blue and the units are also green but in a different coloured box. There are 4 teams all with beads and then you take it in turns to 'go'. It was so fun.
We had a St Patrick's Day party today where we all brought in green food. I took in grapes. Others bought in green beans, celery, seaweed and green pepper cut in shamrock shapes. Lots of people wore green to school including the parents and teachers. We got given a hat to take home.

We haven't got a playground yet so we go to the park or the butterfly house. The butterfly house has loads of toys and no butterflys.

We are going on a field trip tomorrow to see a man perform with his made up instruments.

See you soon
