NOTE: Swimming will be at 1.10 on Tuesday THIS WEEK ONLY , so please don't send your child to school in their Swimming Clothes this TUESDAY

A reminder of the school swimming policy from David Smith It is an expectation that if students are present at school that they will take part in pool based PE lessons, except for extenuating circumstances.

In these circumstances your child will still go to the pool with Miss Sathia as she supervises swimming , and Miss N has meetings during this time.

This week we went Happy Lodge . Here is what Ethan had to say about it...

"We used little cut out bits of paper to make a heart with different colours around it . I felt happy because we were giving it to the elderly people and having fun with them"

This week we had ART in the Junior School with Mr Betts. Here's an explanation by Kiah and Derya...

"We were doing texture and discovering more about art using crayons, wax and dye. We loved it because it feels like a treasure hunt discovering more about Art"

We have started our CHARACTER STUDY. This week Miss N got some new books from London...Sam tells you more...

"The books all had the same characters called Danny and the dinosaur. The books were a bit stinky but fun because the dinosaur was pooing in every book. But by pooing he saved the day. These were a bit disgusting which made us all laugh a lot !"

We came to school in Red, White and Blue. Lizzy and Laila tell you more...

"We wanted to bring our own money in to give to people from Nepal, because there was a big earthquake. People died and lost all of their toys and stuff. So we gave $311 so hopefully they can buy some toothpaste, 20 beds or a sofa"

In maths we have been making patterns. Zachary and Caden explain..

 We are teaching our brains math patterns

" redwhiteblueredredwhitewhiteblueredredredwhitewhitewhoteblue: we used cubes, counters, beads, feathers, straws to make patterns. Miss Sathia will put them on the wall'

After watching WILD CITY SINGAPORE we created dioramas based on habitats of Singapore.

We had a visitor from Fiji. His student is coming to UWCSEA in August so we brought her up for an orientation visit.    We were lucky enough to interview him, use an atlas and Google Earth and find out more about Fiji. We then created venn diagrams comparing Fiji and Singapore.
