WE 24.06.16.

Dear Parents,

We hope you enjoyed looking at the trip photos.  We had a lovely time and the children behaved and played so well!  Thank you for your support over the year.  It has been amazing to be part of our children's learning and growth this year.  We are extremely proud of how much each and every child has developed over the year!  

As you may be aware, this is my last year at TX.  I will remain in HCMC but will be teaching at AP1 in F3.  I am very sad to be leaving TX but I hope I will still see you from time to time around the city!

Thank you for your support over the year.  A successful partnership between parents and teachers helps our children to be the best they can be!

Party photos to follow...

Have a wonderful, safe, relaxing holiday!

Kind Regards,

Gurvinder and the F2 team.

WE 17.06.16.

Dear Parents,

What an eventful penultimate week it has been!  Here is a round up of what we have been up to

-F2 visited their new F3 classroom on Tuesday.  They were all very happy playing upstairs and spent some time with their new teachers!

-On Wednesday and Thursday the children ate their morning snack and lunch in the big canteen.  Our children adjusted really well to the change in environment.  They were good at asking for more food if they were still hungry and as usual were encouraged to eat their vegetables!

-Our F2 children had another successful session in the big pool today.  This time it was led by Mr Chau.  We have made some videos of the different activities and exercises the children were involved in.  These have been uploaded on a separate post.  My apologies for the video that is upside down!

-We have been talking about alliteration this week.  We have been thinking of words that share the same initial sound as each child's name, for example, Lovely Laisha Loves Lions or Samara Cinderella smelled some sweets.  This is an activity that you could follow up with your child with in English or your home language.

Our last week will be very busy!
-On Monday we will be going on our end of year trip to Playtime in District 11.  Please ensure your child arrives at 8 am.
-On Tuesday, the children will spend some more time in F3.
-On Wednesday and Thursday, the children will have their snack and lunch in the canteen.
-On Friday, we will have our class party.  Please look out for the food requests which will be sent out on Monday.  All parents and carers are very welcome to join us at 11 am.  All children can come to school on this day dressed in their party clothes!

Thank you for all of you who were able to come to the Transition Meeting and to our open afternoon.  Your support and time is always valued!

Have a lovely weekend.

Kind Regards,

Gurvinder and the F2 team.

WE 10.06.16.

Dear Parents,

Thank you for all of you who were able to attend our EOY 'Fundinos in the Sun' performance.  We hope you enjoyed it!  We thought our children were amazing!  Please have a look at the videos below. We will let you know once the photos taken by Mr Adam are available.





Big Pool
Today was the first of two sessions in the big pool.  The children were divided into three groups. They learnt to use the ladder safely to get in and out of the pool.  The children also focused on learning to getting in and out using the edge of the pool.  The children moved around the pool in different ways and played 'Salmon Says' (Simon Says) to build their confidence in the water.  Ms Precious and I are really pleased with all our children responded to being in the TX big pool for the first time.

Next Week
Next Week is a very busy week for our F2 children.  Please have another look at the timetable Ms Precious posted earlier this week.  Please let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you for your continuing support.

Kind Regards,

Gurvinder and the F2 team

F2: dates to remember this month

Newsletter WE 3rd June 2016

Dear Parents,

This week has flown by!  We have been practising almost everyday for our EYFS EOY concert and our children are doing so well!  We have also been busy making decorations for the gym.  F2 have been making special summer bunting comprising of all our favourite activities in the summer.

I have uploaded three videos taken in the big playground today to share what the children have been doing there.




Preparing for F3
You will receive a letter in the next few days explaining how we will be supporting the children to prepare for F3 next year.  Ensuring a smooth transition between F2 and F3 ensures our children stay happy and continue to progress in their new environment.  One of changes in routine in F3 is that they will be using the big pool.  We will be going to the big pool on Friday 10th and Friday 17th June to support this transition.  This will take place in small groups with adult support from the F2 teachers, TAs and Mr Chau, our swimming instructor.



Notices
-Big Pool Friday 10th June.  No splash pool.
-EYFS Summer Concert Thursday 9th June  All children should come to school dressed in black clothes on this day.
