Dear Parents,
Two great weeks have passed, and we can hardly realize how quick they have gone by. They have been full of emotions and experiences.
We said goodbye to our colleague and friend Mrs. Kinch during a baby-shower party where our students once again showed how sensitive and involved they are in their school life and community. They wrote special cards which touched Mrs. Kinch´s heart deeply. We are so glad to announce that she is now happily hugging her newly born lovely baby girl!
Last week kept us busy with the DRA tests. It was a big satisfaction to see how seriously children approached this assessment. They are growing, and it is important for them to learn how to manage tests too, how to control the stress and the mental work related to these tests.
Last Wednesday we managed to avoid the rain and enjoyed a sunny athletic day. The whole Primary enjoyed a full day of physical activity with sports such as: high jump, long jump, 60m run, ball throw, partner run and relays. Every single student made a huge effort in participating and challenging their own physical limits. Well done everyone!
In Language, we have been working on our descriptive texts about the International Banquet. Students have been trying to transfer onto paper the tastes, colours, aromas, sounds and feelings experienced during the banquet. At reading and comprehension activities students have been reading chapter books and texts related to the Rainforest Unit.
IPC and Language have been extremely interconnected this time around. Every day students have discovered and learnt something new about the rainforest habitat and creatures. We have been using diagrams, mind maps, lists of words and dioramas to understand all the new knowledge we have been gathering.
The Exit Point for the Rainforest Unit will be a performance where 3rd graders will interpret The Great Kapok Tree. The first performance will take place on the 5th of June for Primary School students followed a performance for parents and families on the 9th of June. All students must wear black clothing for their performance. They will also be wearing the animal masks they have been working on during art lessons. Please encourage students to learn their individual lines off by heart as well as the songs they have received.
Location: Auditorium during the first period. No more details! It would ruin the surprise...
In Maths, students have been expanding their understanding of fractions and decimals. They have been applying their knowledge by solving word problems and by verbally sharing their reasonings.
We are happy to communicate that Mrs. Sethi will stay with us till the end of the term.
Have a lovely weekend!
Best wishes,
Ms. Cruz, Mrs. D´Andrea Nordin and Ms. Sethi
