News from K1/H : February 26 to March 22, 2013

Thank you to parents for supporting their children in their learning during this term’s UOI ’Air, Food and Water’.  Over the past 4 weeks we have been exploring:  How do our air, food and water change and how can we look after these resources?  We observed: 

·        Simple experiments with ice and water measurement

·        Dehydrated foods to hydrated

·        Fresh fruit smoothies

This Unit of Inquiry has provided the children with lots of learning opportunities and they now have more awareness of how important air, food and water are to their lives and to the future of our earth.  

·        Love to Read Week:  The children listened to stories every morning at Assembly. We had fun travelling to the MBC and the children and were in awe of seeing the elementary students performing songs in the musical ‘Pirates’.  Today K3 and Grade 1 performed shorts plays for everyone’s enjoyment.   It was a fun week.  The children who brought books to swap were pleased with their new books.  Thank you for your participation.

 

·        It is VERY IMPORTANT that your children wear shorts and PE shoes on Mondays for safety and agility.   Swimming will continue on Wednesdays after the holidays.

Your child must have a separate swim bag.

No plastic bags please. Your children cannot recognize their belongings in a plastic shopping bag.  If possible, please dress your children in their swim wear from home.  Please have your children wear clothes to change into after swimming which are easy for them to put on themselves.  Thank you.

Please send in a new toothbrush with your child next term.

  No toothpaste necessary thank you.
