A message from our PE teachers

Your child will be swimming during their PE lessons for 4 weeks starting from Tuesday 28th October.

On PE days your child will need to bring the following items

1. Towel
2. Goggles
3. Swim Cap
4. Fitted UV Rash Vest
5. Swimming Costume
1. Girls one-piece
2. Boys swimming shorts or trunks (no board shorts please)

You may apply sunscreen before school as swimming is before morning break.

All students will have their swimming ability assessed in the first lesson of each unit.

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 which require a note to the PE teacher from home.

If you have any concerns about your child during the swimming programme please do not hesitate to contact David Smith. das@gapps.uwcsea.edu.sg

And now for the week...

We finished our communities unit with 1MLN bringing significant family and homeland items to share with home.

"Communities are identified by particular features" . We found some connections such as Sarah's Scottish flag makes up part of the UK flag brought in by Olivier.

We've been training our brains to see patterns in shapes... it's not as easy as it looks !
Does your child know the names of the basic shapes ? 

We published our first books for Grade 1. Grade 5 buddies offered 2 stars and a wish and the children recorded these in their writing folders to refer to when they continue on their writing journey. Ask your child what their 2 stars and a wish are when writing.

Handwriting has been a major focus lately. Ask your child what is happening in each of these photos below.
