See you all at tonight's Parent-Teacher consultation. This is a good or child opportunity to know how your child has settled in class.

On another note, Mr Ian will be available to answer your question about using the blog. Please see below.

Children practising for the Moon Festival celebration

We are getting excited to see these children come to school on Thursday in their 'ao dai' and participate in our celebration of the Moon Festival.

See you all there!

My little builders

This group of girls in class were seen digging in the sand pit. When asked what they were doing,one girl answered, "we are building a house!"

My Hanh using playdough on her face mat.

The children have all started attending full day of school. It went really well with all of them getting into the routine of having a nap or a quiet time after lunch. This week, we also had Mr Pat (art teacher) doing an art activity with the kids! We continued on talking about ourselves and learning songs about the parts of our body and emotions. Aside from these, children were also given time to explore the interactive whiteboard and play an interactive game of 'dressing up' in connection to our topic this week.

Music session with Mr Euan

Last weeks was the first time all the children attended the music class with Mr Euan as a whole group. And it was indeed a really good time!

Happy the Turtle - our class pet

Meet Happy, our class pet! Every week, a girl or a boy will get to take this brilliant turtle home to enjoy the weekend with. That particular child is our Star of the Week and will take Happy to different places and enjoy doing many activities with our pet. Parents can support this activity by taking photographs and writing a short story about what transpires during the weekend. Aside from Happy, the child will also get a Star of the Week certificate and the Happy book which he/she needs to return to school the following Monday to share their adventures with the rest of the children.

Important Sections in our Blog

These are just 2 of the important sections of our class' blog aside from the regular posts I write. The first one, which is the 'email subscription' allows you to key in your email addresses and you get to automatically receive a notice in your address that there is a new post from me.

 

The second one, "Teacher Resources" contain links to websites that are useful to what we do everyday. This particular section will be updated regularly to add more websites for you to check.

Should there be any question about these 2 sections, please feel free to ask me. I do hope you find these tools useful the same way as we do at school.

Tuesday, 04 September

Today was the first day back after a long weekend and also the first time all the children in F2 unit coming together at the same time. The atmosphere in the classroom this morning was way different from what we have had last week. There were children everywhere and noise echoing around the classroom! Yay! It is beginning to sink in that F2 now is a unit and it means that we have 29 children in all (at the moment).

 This is Ms Hoang, helping children with their drawing of faces.

 Peter getting busy playing with Maths game in the computer.

 Ada on the other hand, showing me the coloured shapes she did for her pattern game.

And Bao Nghi, playing with the dough and the playmat.
