.אֲנַחְנוּ קוֹרְאִים בְּעִבְרִית וּמַסְבִּירִים עַל מֹשֶׁה, פַּרְעֹה וְיוֹסֵף

פֹּה אֲנַחְנוּ שָׁרִים שִׁירִים שֶׁל פָּסֵחַ

Blogger of the Week – BENNY!

fmellenthin / / French, General Studies, Jewish Studies

Hi my name is Benny and I am blogger of the week!

In French we do the blue book when you’re finished all the work in class. You make a wordsearch in French with all the new words you have learnt. In the morning when we have french we always do the blue book. It can also be fun sometimes.


In Hebrew, we do the word of the day it’s when people pick a new word for the class. In the morning we bring in our homework and write out the Hebrew to practise our writing. Then the teacher calls people to read. In Hebrew we do the Sefer בעברית.

In gym, we do Mario kart.  You are on a scooter and every lap you get a fake dollar bill and a popsicle stick with your dollar bills you can buy stuff.If you get$ 3 you can buy a pylon if you bump into it you go to the middle you roll a dice whatever number you get you do the thing. If you have $ 5 you can get a dodgeball or turtle. If you have $10 you can get a push dodgeball and pylon. It is so much fun!

Look at the words we made with our popsicle sticks!

In general studies when we come in we read a book quitely. We love to read and our Reading Challenge is going so well!

This week in math, we practised time. In the game, we made our own watch and set the time. We then had to write all the names in the class. Then the music started! We danced until it stopped and then you had to read the time of the person closest to you! It was fun! If you get it right you write it down but if you get it wrong you dance away and come back later to try again.

This is the class doing the anthems. Today I was the lead!

Miss M did a creative writing activity with us using our imagination and the best adjectives we could think of. We made our own fantastic beast. Here is someone who is presenting his creature. You make your own beast. On the other side of the page you answer questions how you can tame it what’s its power. 

This is Olivia doing her blog she was talking about the shinshinim. She was blogger of the week.

Here is Eden presenting her penguin research.

Reading buddies I love reading buddies because you get to have a buddie and read and I love to read.

I love T’filah it’s one of my favourite part of Hebrew.

This is music one of my favourite subjects yesterday we were learning about the blues.

Thanks for reading my blog!

Monday/Lundi

Aujourd’hui on a le français. Dans la classe on a travaillé dans notre cahier bleu et on a fini le film Space Jam. J’ai regardé un petit peu du film en anglais a la maison. C’est un film drôle et c’est sur.

(Translation) Today we have French. In French class we did our blue book and then we finished a movie called space jam (in French). I watched a bit of the movie in English (at home). It is a silly movie but I know it’s not real(end translation) the movie is about aliens trying to find people to make their amusement park fun.

We also have Hebrew class. I love Hebrew. In Hebrew we are practicing songs for our model Seder. Ms.M started giving out our parts for the Passover play that we will be performing it later on. Some people got an English part and some people got a Hebrew part. I am the narrator with Olivia. I can wait till we can perform it. We are working on the songs and prayers in a haggadah

We LOVE Hebrew!

Next, we have gym. In gym class we played a game called Newcombe ball. Newcombe ball is like volleyball, there are two teams and a ball your team has to get it over the net. It’s hard to explain so just look at the picture and it will show you how to play.

In the afternoon, we had General studies. We did some independent reading and listened to our blogger present his post. Here are some pictures and videos of the previous bloggers blog.  

After we did some penguin research. Emmett showed us his home made computer. It was so cool and really impressive! Here is a Pic Collage that shows you what it looks like.

Now it’s French time. We are doing journals. Journal is where you get a few minutes to write as many words as you can in French. It’s so fun.

After outside it’s Hebrew time. Everyone loves Hebrew. In Hebrew we practiced our play and practicing songs for pesach. We have shinshinim. Shinshinim is my favourite today with the shinshinim we are playing a game where we all have a string in our shoe and you have to grab somebody else’s string out of their shoe. The second game we played is were the shinshinim give us groups and a sheet of paper that listed neighbours and we had to grade the neighbours 1 to 10. It was so fun to do. It was all about living alongside other people.

Wednesday/Mercredi

Today started with Hebrew first we are making decorations for our model Passover Seder. Some people are making a 3D ocean and some people are making a 3D pyramid. Here is a picture of what we are making:

We also played time bingo where we had to listen for the time being called out and we had to work out of we had it. It was hard but a good way to practise time.

We did a full run through of our Seder, Morah Sigal saw our English play for the first time and she was really impressed! I can’t wait to do for real next week.

Friday/Venerdi 

We started our day with our Rosh Chodesh assembly. Here is a Pic Collage to show you all the different thing we heard about.
