Hello everyone! Welcome to our blog. The highlight of our week was the School Open Day and the Tennis Open Day. We all enjoyed showing our parents how we begin our days at school and presenting the work we completed at home about our dream jobs.The children practised very hard to prepare for their presentations, and it truly showed,they delivered them wonderfully!Thank you for helping them complete their homework and for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the School Open Day.

For Japanese inquiry time, they learned how to tell time. This is a basic life skill they will need to help them navigate elementary school life.

The week was a very busy one for us. We had two field trips: one to an elementary school and another to a high school. At the elementary school, the students observed a Grade 1 mathematics lesson. They were all very impressed by how independent the students were and how nicely they sat and listened to the teacher. When the lesson was over, two students went to the front of the classroom and led the whole class in announcing that the lesson was over and thanking the teacher. Someone remarked, “Oh, they also have line leaders like us!” After the mathematics lesson, they helped us make byun byun tops and taught us how to play with them. They also bid us farewell in a very energetic and warm manner.

The Learner Profiles are not meant to be complicated. They are not only for school,they also apply to everyday life at home.For example, does your daughter help feed her younger sibling? If so, she is being caring because she shows concern for others.When your son faces a problem at home, does he try to solve it on his own before asking for help? If so, he is being a thinker, because he is able to analyze the situation and decide what to do.The Learner Profiles are simply ways to describe the positive attitudes and skills children use every day, both at school and at home.

~The week ahead~

We will wrap up our inquiry about growth and focus most of our efforts on preparing for the graduation ceremony.

Thank you for reading our blog this week. Have a great weekend!
