Dear Parents,
Please see below for photos of our Christmas events this week. Thank you for your support with our Christmas concert and Christmas party. All of the teachers are very proud of how brave our children were yesterday and their amazing singing and dancing. We will try again after the holiday. After the performance, Father Christmas came to visit. We will upload individual photos of Santa's visit onto each child's blog. We are saying goodbye to Benjamin this term as he and his family will be returning to the UK. We wish them luck and will miss Benjamin. We celebrated Pinky's birthday today in class. Her birthday falls over the holiday. Happy birthday Pinky! Please upload photos of your holiday onto your child's blog, so we can share them in term 2.
Have a safe and relaxing holiday!
Ms Gurvinder, Ms Grace and the F2 team.

As the end of term draws near, we have been getting ready for our EYFS Christmas show. There have been lots of other exciting things going on to. Here are the highlights:

We will be sending you the song words for the songs we sang soon. It was fantastic for the children to watch them in action! We will invite parents in again in term 2 and hope you can all join us.
-We continued with our pirate theme and ended the week with a treasure hunt led by Ms Cheska and a pirate party. Look out for the school newsletter article to find out more about what we got up to!

Dear Parents,
As we draw closer to the end of term, children have been showing more confidence engaging in new activities at school. We have been doing various activities in different learning areas and we are very pleased with how enthusiastic they have been.
Children have started learning about Addition through various fun ways such as 'unifix' cubes and hand prints.
Ms Gurvinder also supported them in developing their 'mouse' skills on the computer. They have been 'dragging' and 'clicking' on pictures in the ICT game.Outside, children have had the opportunity to play tennis! They all loved it so we will be doing it again next week.
Check the photos below to see how fun it was this week!
Next week, we are going to continue on reading the book 'Pirates love Underpants' and to ensure that the children will have fun whilst learning, we are going to have a Pirate Party. This will be on Friday 6th December 2013.
We are opening the classroom to group of parents for 3 days next week to see us and learn the regular songs we sing in class. Sign-up sheets are posted on our Notice Board and we encourage each one of you to come and have fun with us!
Christmas is just around the corner and in EYFS tradition that means music concert! Children have been practising the songs we are going to perform and we are excited to show them to you. More information will be sent to you next week.
Have a lovely weekend!

Newsletter week ending 22nd November
Dear Parents,
We continued focusing on the children's home countries and learnt more about the UK, Canada and Switzerland. We decorated rattan plates which will go on display in the Fundino playground next week. The children have been involved in lots of messy play activities this week to encourage them not to think of their hands as being 'dirty' when they play with materials such as paint and flour but as a fun hands on experience!
We also celebrated Thien's 4th birthday today. Happy Birthday Thien!
Please see the photos below.
Reminders:
-We would like to remind you that school starts at 7.55 a.m. We have noticed that some children are regularly arriving at 8.30. We would like all our children to benefit from our school day and the activities we plan. Children who arrive late often take longer to settle in and miss out on activities.
