Term 1 2020, Liverpool Public School – Week 1

This week we read the new story in English and Arabic. The story is by Ifeyinwa Okoroafor.

The kids loved having the story in Arabic. I could see that the majority of the kids were listening more intently to the Arabic version. It was great!

The mums were listening too. It took a fair while but the kids enjoyed helping to translate which was cool.

We did a tiny bit of music at the end. I played the kids some bits of music on the keyboard and got them to use descriptive words for what it sounded like. Some of the words they used were: exciting, depressing, sad, disappointed, happy, super happy, spooky, joyful, uplifting and annoying.

The kids then took turns playing on the keyboard while we packed up.
