What? 5 weeks to go to the end of the year – It cannot be!



·        What a busy 3 weeks we have had since the holidays!  The children have all enjoyed sharing and singing their favourite songs, rhymes and moving in different ways.  For the unit’s summative assessment the children will perform several items for your enjoyment on Friday May 31, at the morning assembly at 9am.  Please mark your calendar.  Thank you.
·        Show and Tell for the rest of the term is something that begins with the letter of your child’s first name or nick name. 
·        Thai Culture Day on April 26 gave the children some experience of traditional Thai activities. These activities live on today and are much enjoyed, especially throwing water on each other! The children also ate heartily at the kantoke table of chicken, somtum and sticky rice.
·        Student Led Conference day on May 1st was an exciting day for parents and students.  The children displayed confidence and joy while showing their parents what they do at school.  Thank you for your attendance to support your child’s learning.
·       End of year concert: The children have already begun practicing songs for their concert performance on Wednesday June 12th at the K3 Graduation. This year it will be at our Kindergarten campus.  We are singing ‘APIK’ and ‘Inanay.   We would like your child to wear the school PE uniform of shorts and shirt, thank you. An APIK summer school t/shirt could also be worn with dark blue/denim shorts.
·        Wednesday is swimming day.  Your child must have a separate swim  bag for suit, towel and cap for girls.
·        Library day.  Please don’t forget to return the library book in the library bag on a Friday. 
·        Hat:  Please make sure your child has a hat at school.

We are looking forward to the last 5 weeks of our fourth term.  Your children have all further developed the attributes of being inquirers, being reflective and taking responsibility for their learning since returning from the April holidays.  It is great to see them asking and answering questions displaying their curiosity and knowledge. 
    
Thanking you.
