Dear Parents
Hope you had a fantastic holiday and are ready for the new term.
This week's homework is on Mathletics and Reading Eggs.
We have started our new unit of inquiry on how exploration contributes to change. In Norwegian class, your child will be learning about some famous Norwegian explorers. We'll be focusing on the changes exploration brought, rather than the explorers themselves, the different perspectives involved and the effect on the indigenous population.
We have some exciting events coming up this month.
World Food Day
World Food Day is on the 16th October. We invite you to send in a can of food with your child on the 16th October. All cans collected will be donated to a local charity.
UN Day
We shall be having a special assembly for UN Day where we shall be highlighting the United Nations and what it does and what it means to be a global citizen. We'd like your child to wear the colours of their national flag for UN Day.
We'll also be holding a coffee morning for all parents and any possibly interested parents at the start of school. We'll be giving a short presentation about the PYP and how it benefits your child's learning. You are invited to bring a friend along.
Halloween
Your child may come to school dressed in fancy dress on the 31st October. While we realise that many do not support Halloween, children love an opportunity to dress in costumes and fancy dress and that will be our focus, rather than what Halloween actually represents. The student council are planning a fundraising activity, and there will be more on this in the next blog post.
Kind regards,
Miss Cindy and Mr Wanda
