News from K1 Hummingbirds
Monday 8th October to Friday 19 October 2012
Thank you for attending your child’s Parent/Teacher conference.  It is good to get your feedback and talk over successes and challenges. 

·        UOI:  Who We Are!  We have been learning about feelings and our likes and dislikes. 

·        We talked about our favourite foods, songs and classroom centres. 

·        We began assessing the children’s knowledge of what they have learned about themselves during this unit by completing a journal page with picture of themselves doing something in the classroom and saying what they were doing, what they looked like and how were they feeling. 

·        After the October break we will begin our second unit of inquiry, Dress Up Time! The central idea is:  ‘Clothes can reflect who we are, where we live and what we do.’ 

·        During October, November and December we will have opportunities to learn about clothes people wear for different cultures, climates and different jobs as well as clothes we dress-up in for Halloween, Loy Krathong and Christmas. 

                                           Show and Tell :

                                                                 

Next term: Dress Up Time! Please bring in clothes/cloth from your own or other cultures or other pieces of clothing, hats, bags,shoes, etc

·        Halloween is coming!  You have the holiday to prepare your child’s costume, if you wish.  Not too scary please and no weapons thank you.

We will have a Halloween Parade on Wednesday 31st October with activities in our classroom.  You are welcome to participate in the parade.

Enjoy your week’s break and see you on Monday 29th October 2012.

Thanking you.  K1 Team

Note:  On Monday 29^th October, Ms Fiona will take K1 as I will be attending my husband’s Mother’s final cremation service in Bangkok.  I apologize for my absence.
