Dear parents,
The schedule for next week is as follows:
Monday: In the morning we will have a fairly normal work cycle, with computing from 9:45-10:30 and then at the end of the morning finish off with some continent and country report presentations. In the afternoon we will be doing science.
Tuesday: A similar morning to Monday without the computing, finishing off again with hopefully the last of the presentations. On Tuesday afternoon we will be visiting the Junior High International Festival in the gym.
Wednesday: Wednesday is the Upper El International Festival and you are very welcome to attend. The festival begins at 9.00 and finishes at 11.00 We have broken down the festival into these break times for the three grades:
- 9:00-9:30 – no breaks for students, all students to remain in their room with their project
- 9:30-10:00 – 4th grade break – color green
- 10:00-10:30 – 6th grade break – color red
- 10:30-11:00 – 5th grade break – color blue
Unfortunately, in the past there have been accidents regarding the spilling of food resulting in damage to carpets. Therefore, if your student is planning to bring any food we ask that you follow this advice:
• No liquids – Nothing that stains – Nothing that needs to be heated
• Finger Food Only – the student bringing the food supplies with their own utensils or cups
• All food for the festival needs to be pre-approved
• No toothpicks
After the festival and into the afternoon, we will be doing Christmas-themed art work and playing Dreidel, a simple Jewish game played at Hanukkah.
Thursday: This is the last day of the calendar year. In the morning I had planned to watch Matilda by Roald Dahl first thing thing, as we read the book together earlier in the year. Then from 11-12 we have PE. After lunch and recess we will be going around the Lower El International Festival. School finishes at 3 pm as normal.
I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday break! School returns on Wednesday January 3rd.
Best wishes – John
