Newsletter 10.01.2014

Welcome back to school! We hope all of you have had a well-deserved break and are all ready for the fun and exciting activities awaiting this term.

Let us welcome 3 new children in F2 who are Momoko, Nhut An and Daniel. They have been settling in well in the classroom and are beginning to make friends with other children. We also have Ms Francez who is a teacher-trainee and Ms Tram who used to work in F3 last term.


As you may have noticed as you came in the classroom this morning that we have taken 1 shelf out by the window. The shelf will be staying there for the remainder of the year to give way for a much better use of the space in the classroom. We have extended our Music and Movement area  to give our children more space to move and explore our resources. In addition, F2 children are now more confident and independent to be able to access their bags outside. May we please remind all the parents again to make sure that their children's personal belongings are properly labelled.

Every morning, children use the IWB (interactive whiteboard) to check/register their names independently. We slightly changed how they do this by putting the children into 2 groups. The children are aware of which group they are in so it is easier for the children to know which IWB to go to in the morning. We have Orange and Purple Elephants group.



REMINDER

* Splash pool session is back to normal time. Please make sure to bring your children's splash pool kit (swimming kit) every Tuesday and Thursday.

* We have sent an invitation to your email addresses for Blogger, kindly accept them so you are immediately notified when we have new information posted in our Class Blog.

* Please check your child's blog and our class blog regularly for updates and information.

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.

Dear Parents,

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:

-Ms Grace and I were very happy to see so many parents join us for our singing group times this week.  Thanks to all the parents that were able to come.  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!
