Please remember students only wear the PE uniform to library when there is also swimming. Swimming is only every other week.
Our 1st swimming lesson in the pool is, Thursday, September 29th. 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 is helpful if you help your child practice getting undressed and dressed for swimming beforehand. Children are required to take off and put on their clothes themselves. Young children tend to find very short socks easier to put on independently.
On Monday, October 3rd, 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 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, October 4th.
KM1 KM is looking for a room parent to represent our class for the coming year. I have attached a handbook for your information. If you are interested please email to let me know. There is a session being held in the Planetarium on Tuesday September 27th from 8:30am - 9:00 am where the roles and responsibilities will be reviewed, if you wish to attend.
We are having fun playing outside with our new friends. Mr. Clark and Ms. Bea came into our classroom for our ICT lesson.
