More suggestions for reading with your children
This year we have placed considerable emphasis and resources on the development of the children’s reading but we do need your help and support at home. Recently I have been adding websites in our weekly newsletter to help you to help your children with their reading, there are also suggestions on all UP grade blogs for English books which are appropriate for the age range of the grade.
Here is another suggestion http://www.lovereading4kids.co.uk/
Family Days
I hope that our Pre Kinder parents agree that the family breakfasts this week have been a delightful way to start the day and it has been great to see so many parents coming along to join their children. Next week we have the Prepa family day at 7.15am on Thursday 23rd May and our 1st Grade Family day at 12.15pm on Friday 24th May. We look forward to seeing you then.
3rd Grade IPC
IPC allows the children to learn through practical activities designed to create life-long learning experiences. Third grade is learning about Chocolate. As part of our Exit Point the children developed a chocolate based product which they had to create, produce and test, improve and advertise. Last week they learned how to make a Television commercial from scratch. They were able to develop the concept, make a story board/script, produce and edit it. They got the help and guidance of professional publicists. Many thanks to Mr. Gerardo Funes who provided us with the equipment and personnel necessary to make this life long experience.
Parent and Pupil Surveys
Many thanks to the parents who took the time to complete the recent survey sent out to primary parents. We are very happy about the largely positive feedback from you and will look carefully at any concerns which have been expressed to ensure that all children in our school have the best possible academic, social and physical care.
This week children from Prepa through to Grade 5 are also completing surveys. We have been giving these surveys to the children for three years now which allows us to accumulate some useful data and gives the children an opportunity to tell us about how the school is from their point of view.
Congratulations to Ms Caceres on the safe arrival of her new son!
