Ms.Oakes' January review
January 2024 blog for Ms. Oakes' class. This month in Ms. Oakes' class we started writing formal letters (based on January's “letter writing genre”) to people we admire such as sports players from Irish and English teams, as well as singers and authors and other famous/ semi-famous people. Last year, in December, we read the Boy in the Striped Pyjamas novel so this month we watched the movie. Bit different than the book, but it is still overall good though. In art, we have focused on the Chinese New Year by making fortune tellers and Chinese cats. We also did presentations of polish projects where we were split into groups and given categories for researching. We have begun preparing for our confirmation as well by learning about the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit with the story of the Pentecost and the Beatitudes. Soon we will be able to go to the book fair and pick out some amazing books too! That is all! -Jamie.
