Ceramica Cafe trip

Dear Parents,

We are having a field trip next Thursday to Il Pennelo Ceramic Cafe. This is a trip that students school-wide should be taking at some point. We will paint a ceramic tile there which will then be used to decorate the school gates. Please understand that the 80le price includes the ceramic piece, but the students will not be able to keep the piece as it will be used for the school. However, the ceramic piece that your student makes will be a part of the school forever.

Thanks

Homework

Hello Parents,

Please make sure your child does the homework that is assigned on the blog and dont move ahead. I teach the lesson in class and then the homework matches the lesson. Moving ahead might cause some confusion to the children.

Note: Students can come out of uniform on Thursady for Valentine's Day. They should wear the Valentine's Day colors.

Thanks

Reading Groups

Hello Everyone,

We had an amazing "International Week", we had so much fun learning about China. We also visited lots of other countries today like Spain, Mexico, Japan, America, Italy and Sudan. I am sure the kids will tell you all about it.

You haven't been getting new reading books this week as I have just finished their reading assessments. I am so proud of all of them as they are moved up in their reading levels. You will start getting new books today. Please make sure your child reads daily for 15 minutes.

PS: Check out our pictures from our last trip in the "Pictures" section.

Thanks!
