Dear All,
 
Hope you’ve had a good week. Ours has been very busy!
 
We were away from school on two field trips. On Wednesday February 15, we went to a work shop at The Museum of Modern Art in Skeppsholmen. The theme was “Color”; we looked at works of art by Henri Matisse, Moki and Don Cherry, Robert Rauschenberg and a few others. We then went to the children’s art studio and created paintings of our own. On Thursday February 16 in glorious weather, we went to Östermalm’s idrottsplats to skate/have gym class with Magnus the gym teacher.  
 
We have also worked with the following:
 
Swedish – The students continued working with “Leksaksfabriken/ The Toy Factory. The teachers also read aloud to the class from one of this semester’s Swedish novels.
 
Math – we did a test to check on where the students are in the subject
 
Science/NO – We continued our work with the theme Winter.
 
English – we are using Fantastic Mr Fox by Roald Dahl as our read aloud. We are going to use the book for class discussions and to inspire our writing.
In the coming week
 
This week’s homework: for English we’ve given the students questions to answer about Mr Fox.  For Math the students have been given a problem solving worksheet.
 
Winter vacation/sportlov commences after next week – February 27,  2017. We begin school again March 6, 2017. Jim will be back by then.
 
Wishing you a great weekend.
 
Kind regards,
Boë, Jim, Ninna and Sewe
