Yummy lunch! 03/10/16

It is lunch time!


PYP 1 pupils are working on their self-help skills, eating all by themselves in the cafeteria. 
They are learning to hold the knife to push food
 onto their fork. 
It is also a time when they have the chance to use polite 
words and phrases such as 'please' and 'thank you.'
We ask parents to keep encouraging children to eat independently at home, by using knife and fork during meal times.

First Unit of Inquiry

There are different patterns and cycles in nature and in our daily lives.              

Our first Unit of Inquiry is about patterns and cycles in our daily lives. Children are going to explore natural patterns and daily life patterns, changes in nature and life cycles. Therefore, we would like to invite pupils to bring caterpillars, tadpoles or seeds that they can observe throughout their learning experience. If you happen to come across either one of the above mentioned, please do send them with your child to school. It will enrich their learning.

We will also be looking into our routines in the school and at home. Because of that, we would kindly ask you to send pictures of the children’s routine at home, such as brushing teeth, having breakfast, getting ready for school, dinner time, bath time and bedtime rituals.

Thank you very much for your support,
PYP 1 teachers
