On Sunday, October 4th, we will be starting our first unit of inquiry entitled "Our Senses" under the trans-disciplinary theme of Who We Are. The central idea behind this unit is "We use our senses to find out about ourselves, each other and the environment". We will be focusing on the following three lines of inquiry: 1) the five senses; 2) how we use our senses to learn about the world; and 3) why senses are important and the impact of their absence. Please have a look at the unit letter for parents and the curriculum map for more information (documents below).
As a part of our Unit of Inquiry, Who We Are- "Our Senses," we are planning to go to Spinneys. This field trip is a tuning-in activity that will connect our learning in the classroom with the world around us. The students will be encouraged to use their 5 senses while being guided through the grocery store. Please click on the link below to download the form. Complete forms need to be returned by Tuesday, September 29th.
WOW! We have a fantastic group of swimmers. They were so confident in the pool today. Please make sure that all uniforms and swimming items are labelled so that we can help make sure you get everything back. Our 1st swimming lesson in the pool is, Tuesday, September 15th. Please ensure that your child comes to school dressed in his/ her PE clothes and brings a full swimming kit in a bag that he or she can carry independently. The swimming kit items include: Please label each of your child's swimming items clearly with their name. The children will be supported by Ms. Jinky and I during changing, however, it would be helpful if you can practice getting undressed and dressed for swimming beforehand. Young children tend to find very short socks easier to put on independently. Please see below the swimming curriculum, and if you have any questions, you can contact Mr. Martin Hamilton ([email protected]).
