YOUNG WRITERS AND language events!!!!
Dear Parents,
Please note that due to umuganda being shifted to this Saturday, we have moved our sports event to Saturday 7th May.
We have some important changes to the school calendar due to CHOGM to note:
The Easter Break is shortened. Students will now report to school on Tuesday 19th April.
School will close a week earlier in June. The last day of classes is Friday 17th June. Parent-Teacher Meetings will be the week of 20th-24th June either in person or on zoom.
Upcoming Language and Learning Celebrations!
La Semaine de la langue française et de la Francophonie est organisée du 21 au 25 mars 2022. The French Primary section will be doing a week of French Language presentations to which parents are asked to attend. This will be in the week 21st-25th March. Your child's teacher will send more details.
The week of 28th-1st April English Primary will have a week of celebrating their learning, to which parents are also invited. Your child's teacher will send more details closer to the time.
5th-6th April both French and English Early Years will have a child-led expo so you can see the learning in person! This will be instead of the regular Parent-Teacher meetings. As a result there will be no school at all on these days for the early years kids.
Year 2 Writers
Year 2 students are working on their writing skills everyday! Their first big writing project was a fictional storybook. They planned, wrote, and peer-reviewed a story about a topic of their choosing. They focused on characters, setting, plot, descriptive adjectives, and dialogue.
Big Buddy - little buddy
Year 5 & 6 students are now "Big Buddies" - a mentoring relationship - where they are reading with their "Little Buddies" (year 2) bi-weekly. These amazing kids are also planning to give them feedback and advice on year 2's projects and presentations. What a fantastic way to grow our community and teach responsibility to our oldest students! Well done year 5 & 6!
