There will be a PYP assembly starting at 8 am in the auditorium. Students may wear Chinese costumes (or red and gold) if they wish.
During first break and lunchtime there will be craft activities in the PYP atrium, for the children to enjoy if they would like to.
Kind regards,

ICT
This week in ICT, G1B students used Padlet for the first time to connect with another G1 class Allegheny K-5 school, Pennsylvania US. We sent pictures of ourselves, our names and one thing we enjoyed doing. In the coming weeks we will get to know more about our new pen pals.
Maths
This week the children continued to consolidate focusing on writing numbers in the following ways.
standard form – 47
expanded form – 40 + 7 = 47,
base 10 drawings IIII xxxxxxx
word form – forty seven.
The children also worked on a fairy cake make problem where they had to show the different number of toppings using their cardinal numbers. Please checkout your child’s Seesaw to see an online example that they should be able to explain to you.
Unit and Literacy
This week we reflected on our Choices unit and thought long and hard about the central idea – People’s actions reflect awareness of community responsibility.
The children were asked the following question.
How can they help within the school community in regards to responsible use of resources – food, playground resources, classroom resources, items from home that they could be added to the red bin donations and recycle bins (paper, plastic).
The children had to come up with a pledge they wanted to make. They had to go further and explain why the pledge was important for them to take such action?

Please make sure that your child completes all their assignments on Raz Kids e.g. running records and assigned books.
We were able to speak with the Head Chef Mr Bird. On Thursday we asked him questions about what happened to the food and rubbish waste from the canteen. We were also able to speak with one of the cleaners. We asked questions to find out what happened to the waste in the coloured recycle bins in the hallways of each grade level. This week please get your child to explain to you what happens to this waste.
Thank you for all the hard work and continued support this term.
