TANGRAM TANGLES
We just love this ancient Chinese puzzle!
Instructions: Players sit back to back. Each player has the 7 tangram pieces in front of them. Then players are told to make a design at the same time. Can you make a triangle/square/rectangle/an animal shape using all the pieces?
LAST ONE LOSES
Dear pupils,
We started our English lessons with this funny activity.
Instructions: Here, matches are placed in rows, e.g.: 1, 3, 5, 7. Players take turns at removing 1,2,3, or 4 matches from a row. The player who removes the last match, loses.
Touchy-Feely Books
First grader children have been working on the five senses, parting from well-known story “The Very Busy Spider”, by Eric Carle. They made their own class book suitable for visually impaired children. They made the main distinguishing features of each animal using different materials, such as glitter, buttons, pipe cleaners, wool, cotton, thread, etc.

Where’s Norton? (1st and 2nd grades)
Dear children,
Last Monday a very special witch visited our school: Mrs. Witch from England. She was wearing a witch hat and a dark dress with a nasty spider on it. She even had a potion boiling in a cauldron! Her mascot was a ghost… Boo!
But then she disappeared and she just left this note:
She took Norton the parrot with her. She swapped her ghost for Norton!
This photo proves it:
How can we rescue Norton? 😥
IDEA! Our 2nd graders wrote a nice letter to Mrs. Witch:
