FSP have been busy little elves this week and have been making a special surprise for you. The children have worked hard to design, make their cards and wite special messages for you. It was lovely to see the children's invididual ideas and creativity through their unique designs. The children are just starting off on their writing jounrney and tried very hard to sound out and write some words on their own. We hope you love them and the children enjoy looking back at them in years to come when they are independent writers.
The children loved going to the school shop to post their cards to you and remembered to say "Thank you" to the shop assistants!
Christmas singalong
On Thursday 15th December (Time to be confirmed) the parents are invited to come to FS2's Christmas singalong. FSP will be busy learning our songs and we look forward to celebrating Christmas with you!
The children are invited to wear red, white or brown to dress up as a reindeer or Santa. Please do not feel you need to buy new outfits, re-using outfits you already have supports our FS spotlight on suistainability. Please see the examples below.
Wh-questions
Asking and answering wh-questions are essential skills, as they lay the foundation to participate in conversations, to demonstrate knowledge, to collect information, to create, and to help make sense of their surroundings and themselves. We ask and answer questions to be polite and build and maintain relationships. Appropriately asking and answering these questions require language skills such as:
- understanding the question word (e.g., The difference between “what” and “where”)
- understanding each vocabulary word of the question
- formulating appropriate syntax for a response
- understanding the social context of the situation
International Day
It was wonderful to celebrate International Day this week with FSP. The children looked amazing in the clothes from their home countires and everyone loved taking part in and watching the parade. FSP enjoyed talking about their favourite act in the Cultural Show and listening to music from around the world in our classroom. It was great to see the children try new foods from the food stalls and explain why they liked or disliked it.
We have had lots to celebrate in FSP this week!
Loy Krathong
The children looked fantastic in their Traditional Thai clothes. They had lots of fun making Krathongs, playing Mon Son Pa and riding banana leaf horses around the garden. We carefully floated our Krathong's in the reflection pool and the pond by the Sala to end a very busy day at school. Please share any photos of Loy Krathong celebrations at home on Seesaw so we can continue discussions at school.
