Dear Parents, It was an exciting week for our students reviewing PHOTOSYNTHESIS! It is amazing how they understand what a plant needs to grow! As an extension to that, we are learning the topic ‘Life Cycle of a Pumpkin’. We reviewed the parts of the pumpkin too.The students watched in rapt attention when we dissected a whole pumpkin in class to show the various parts. They also learned the vocabulary to go with that: ‘seeds, pulp, flesh, skin, stem, leaf. Please remember to check the photos on the Weebly website. Reading is one of the most important skills your child will learn in school. Every week, your child takes home a library book for reading practice, information, and enjoyment. I want to remind you that students are responsible to handle library books with care. Please keep books away from pets, food, and all liquids. If a book is damaged or lost, a small payment will be requested towards a replacement. We hope our learners will read and enjoy many books and grow in reading skills while attending our school. The following table summarizes the topics covered from 2nd - 16th March. Please review them with your child everyday.

Dear Parents, The KG Sports Day on the 28th of February was a huge success. The children participated in many different activities that were fun and exciting and acquired many new skills. At the Medal Ceremony, each class swapped their prepared medals with another class of the same Year group. The children enjoyed themselves thoroughly. It was an amazing display of team building and sportsmanship!! Another main highlight of this week was ‘Soup Preparation’. The students were involved in different stages of preparation. They dug out vegetables from our very own ECE garden, washed them, cut them into small pieces and finally served the soup to fellow class mates. It was pure delight to watch them slurping away the delicious soup and coming back for more!! We also read the book “Growing Vegetable Soup”. Please remember to check the photos on the Weebly website. Over the last few weeks, our learners have been reading a series of BOB books which help them sound out the sounds, blend the sounds and read in a phonetic way. For example, the book ‘Sam’, correlates to the –am word family. The students came up with more –am family words like ‘dam, jam, ram and so on. We are observing how proud they are of their reading skills! We hope you are reviewing and practicing the Second Step concepts taught in school. This week it is Early Learning Unit 2, which is ‘Identifying Anger’. Check out the Second Step tab on our ECE Weebly for home links. The following table summarizes the topics covered from 19th February to 2nd March. Please review them with your child every day.

Dear Parents, Our students have been working hard and learning so many new things. They are also excited to see the garden grow and change every day. This week we reviewed the life cycle of the sunflower plant. The children have been involved in the development of the different stages in the life cycle of the sunflower, right from sowing the seeds to watering them and seeing them grow. They also learnt the vocabulary to go with that: ‘seeds, root, sprout, shoot, baby plant, bud, bloom, adult flower and falling seeds’. What an amazing experience for the child! Reading is one of the most important skills your child will learn in school. Your child has been bringing home a library book for reading practice, information, and enjoyment. Your child’s class visits the school library weekly to select books. At home, you can help your child by reading to him and asking questions about the story. Encourage your child to spend at least 15 minutes reading at home every day. We are very excited to announce about our upcoming Sports Day on the 28th of February. It will be a normal school day and the students will be participating in organized sports activities to promote team building and sportsmanship. We request that on this day, your child wears a T-Shirt, (the color of their class team) along with sports pants and PE shoes. The class colors are: KG 2 A - Ms. Lilia - GREEN KG 2 B - Ms. Chatura - PURPLE KG 2 C - Ms. Sameena – RED Students should bring healthy snacks and an extra bottle of water on that day. We hope to have a day of fun while we acquire many new skills. Remember to wear red, yellow or orange on February 22ndas we are reviewing orange. red + yellow = orange! Following is a summary of the topics covered from 26th January to 16th February. Please review them with your child everyday.
