We were invited by Maddi's dad, Mr. Matt the Science Guy, to be scientists, do real experiments and to observe him performing some amazing chemical reactions that we will not soon forget! It was an incredible experience for the children to learn about chemical reactions and to see up front what they have to look forward to as they grow older and are able to take science classes themselves. We learned that chemical reactions often produce light and sound and are extremely fun to watch from a safe distance. Matt also set up his lab so that the children could do their own experiment exploring acids and bases and changing a liquid from a base to an acid and then to neutral (we learned that neutral is PH 7 - the same number as the children's ages) in order to pour it down the drain safely. Thank you so much, Matt, for taking the time to give the children this experience. It was definitely one of the highlights of our year and was so inspiring and exciting for all of us!<br />

Continuing on with our investigation into sound, the children made their own instruments from recycled materials. They have been learning that sound is created from vibrations and they enjoyed collaborating and being creative with their designs. We ended the week with our LJe music concert. We enjoyed hearing each other play different instruments and talked about how it takes a lot of resilience to learn an instrument.<br />

The children were excellent self managers and set up their beds in the classroom all on their own! They also managed all of their belongings and were very responsible for brushing their own teeth and hair. Well done, Grade Ones! The evening started off with a walk around the school in the dark with our torches, followed by a 'Story Under the Stars' on the roof of the Infant School. The Grade One teachers performed a favourite story by Julia Donaldson called 'Room on the Broom'. Then it was back to the classroom for pajamas, popcorn ann the movie 'Minions'. Miraculously, all the children were asleep by 10:15 and slept through the night until 6:00! In the morning, after packing up and getting changed, we all headed to the canteen for a pancake breakfast. This was followed by a 'Jump Jam' session led by Mr. Hamish Betts. Ms Mary and I were so proud of all the children in Grade One LJe for showing resilience, independence and for being such good friends to each other!<br />

Thank you to our parent volunteers, especially Lola and Matt, who spent the entire time in the water making sure the children were going in the right direction!

The children were very proud to lead their parents and grandparents at the Student Led Conferences on Wednesday. They were happy to share the learning they have been doing at school. Thank you all for participating and offering your child positive feedback about their learning.<br />

On Friday we ended the week with our last trip to Happy Lodge. This time we took a group of K2 students with us so that they will be familiar with this service activity when they are in Grade 1 next year. Not only did the children do a great job with the residents, but also of encouraging the K2 students with interacting with our Happy Lodge friends. Thank you to all the parent volunteers who have helped to make our service visits to Happy Lodge this year possible.<br />

We have had a successful start to swimming. The children are reminded to bring their swim suits, swim cap, goggles and towel each Monday and Friday.<br />
<br />
<br />
We participated in a fun Grade 1 to Grade 2 transition activity with Grade 2RCo. We went on a scavenger hunt with some friends from Grade 2. The children in Grade 2 showed us all the special places that they visit around the school during their week. When they had found each location they took a selfie with an ipad!<br />

On Wednesday we had a wonderful Kids Up Front presentation by Felix. We learned all about American Independence Day and all the different celebrations that happen on July 4th. We decorated a bicycle for a parade, coloured a flag, drew fireworks and sampled some special Fourth of July treats - hot dogs and popsicles! Well done, Felix!<br />

One of the project that we worked on as a class was a video that our friends from Kuma had requested that we make. They wanted to see what a day in the life of a Grade 1 student was like at UWCSEA. So we are proud to present the finished movie here on our blog!<br />

<span class="s1">Firstly, a huge “Thank You” to all the parents and children in grade 1LJe for your support of our Book and Bake sale to raise money for Kuma Cambodia. Without your support of baked goods and used books it would not have been nearly as successful. As it was, due to the fantastic planning by the children and their enthusiasm for the event, our book and bake sale was tremendously successful raising, on the day, $818.85 to support the Book Book Tuk Tuk. We continued to receive “IOU” money throughout the week so we will be announcing our grand total next week. It was amazing to watch the children at the sale. They were confident, organised and independent. They learned a lot about selling, counting money, making change and providing helpful and polite customer service. I was so proud of all of them. As one of the children said after the event, “I feel so happy because we were so responsible and we have made a big difference to the kids at Kuma!” Congratulations, Grade 1 LJe families. You have all made a difference! </span><br />

<span class="s1">On Tuesday morning parents are welcome to join us for “Love Your Lungs”. From 11:05–11:30am, 1LJe will be working as a team to see how many laps they can complete of the course. The session will involve running, swimming and cycling around the Infant playground and pool. Please make sure you send their swim suits and a towel. Please apply sunscreen before you come to school that day.</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We are looking forward to our Character Morning Tea next Wednesday. The children are invited to come to school dressed as a favourite book character and bring along a plate of snacks (please remember our no nuts policy when preparing snacks) to share with their classmates and their grade five buddy. The children have been encouraged to chose a character from a book as opposed to a movie. Some of the children will be coming as a character that they themselves have written a story about! We are looking forward to meeting all the characters from books and our imaginations. </span><br />

<span class="s1">Thank you in advance to everyone who will be able to contribute some baking to our Book and Bake sale on Tuesday morning. All of the children visited another classroom in the Infants School this week to explain to the classes about our sale. The children worked hard to set up our classroom as a book shop and bakery and are looking forward to their role as “cashiers” on Tuesday. </span><br />
<span class="s1"><br /></span>
<span class="s1">On Wednesday, we had a very successful field trip to the ‘Tampines Eco Green’. The trip helped us to learn more about what a habitat is and what kinds of animals and plants live in the habitats close to our school. We observed the plants, trees, and animals as we walked around the nature trails. Back at school we created a “See, Think, Wonder” on the board to note down our thoughts and wonderings. The children also created a book using the Book Creator app about the trip. A big thank you to the parents who accompanied us.</span><br />

<span class="s1">We are planning a “Character Morning Tea” on Wednesday 11th May. The children will be invited to come to school dressed as a favourite book character and if they wish they may bring a small plate of food to share with their classmates which they think their character might like to eat! Their “costume” might be a few props, or a few accessories, it need not be very elaborate. This week we had a visit from Willy Wonka from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as well as Emily Eyefinger and Strega Nona!</span><br />

<span class="s1"><br /></span><span class="s1">This week we continued to explore addition, subtraction and place value. This is a unit we revisit continually throughout the year. At the moment, we are focusing on fluently adding and subtracting within 20, counting by 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s, and counting forwards and backwards within 120. We are also learning how to solve story problems involving counting by 2’s, 5’s and 10's. For example: “There were five children playing at the park. How many legs were there at the park?”</span><br />
<span class="s1"><br /></span>
<span class="s1">We also enjoyed a visit from our Grade 12 boarder buddy, Liesan. We wished her good luck on her upcoming exams and listened as she explained about going off to college in America after she finishes Grade 12. </span><br />

<span class="s1">This week, we began our new Unit of Study, “Life Links.” We have been sharing what we already know about what animals need, what a habitat is, and how humans can have an impact on different habitats. There have been many good discussions and the children are keen to learn more. They are also excited about our upcoming excursion to the Tampines Eco Green on Tuesday April 26th. Please sign and return the permission slip if you have not already done so.</span></div>

In Math we have again been practicing our addition facts up to twenty and trying to help each other to remember them more fluently. We have also been revising counting by 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s to 120. We will continue to practice our Number Talks strategies as well applying these strategies to solving story problems. </div>

Thank you to everyone who has sent in some books for our “Book and Bake sale” to support Kuma Cambodia. The children made posters this week to put up around the Infants School. Our sale will be held on Tuesday May 3rd. The children have already been thinking about what they might be able to bake at home for the sale (with help from an adult of course!). If it is possible for you to send in some baked goods on Tuesday May 2nd for the bake sale we would appreciate it greatly. Thank you for your support for this project! </div>

<span class="s1">I hope everyone has enjoyed a lovely holiday with their families. Mary and I are looking forward to seeing the children again on Monday! </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The children are going to start preparing for our book and bake sale. They have decided to organise posters to advertise the event and are welcome to start bringing in their gently used books which they no longer need. The children have been told that they must check with their parents as to which books they may bring from home for the sale. All the money that we raise will be used to support Kuma Cambodia’s Book Book Tuk Tuk.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We will also be starting a new unit called “Life Links”. In this unit we will investigate how animals survive in their habitats and how humans can have an impact on animal habitats. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Before the break the children were exploring both repeating and growing patterns and learning how to create and describe these types of patterns. We have come to the end of our non-fiction reading and writing units and are completing the finishing touches in our information books. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">As always the children did a wonderful job preparing for our excursion to Happy Lodge and visiting with the residents. They enjoyed playing “Easter Bingo” with our Happy Lodge friends. Thank you to all the parent volunteers who were able to come along on our Happy Lodge visits last term. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">And finally, thank you to Milana and her parents and their bunny named “Chocolate” for a fun and interesting Kids Up Front presentation about Easter. The children were delighted to decorate Easter eggs and to meet a real rabbit! </span><br />

One is an example of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEJQuwHm88I">Irish music</a> (which made us all feel happy) and one is an example of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgunwbJ5lTA">Irish dancing</a>.

We were inspired by the courage and resilience that Laurel Burch showed during her lifetime despite suffering from osteoporosis. She was an amazing self taught artist who loved bringing people joy through her art. Her positive attitude was an inspiration to us and we enjoyed looking at her art work and trying out her style which included bright colours, curved lines and cats! </span></div>

<span class="s1">Congratulations to Ms. Jenner who who gave birth to a baby daughter on Monday night. The children were very excited to learn about the baby on Tuesday morning and together came up with the name Eclipsia to suggest to Ms. Jenner. On Wednesday we were delighted to see a photo of the beautiful baby and learn that her name is Emily Rae. </span></div>

<span class="s1">This week we enjoyed learning about Holi, an important Indian Festival, from Mahika and her parents. The children learned about why people celebrate Holi and what they do to celebrate. They had lots of fun “playing” Holi with coloured paper instead of coloured powder, making Holi cards and trying a traditional snack. Well done, Mahika! </span><br />

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">This week we were treated to a visit by author Katie Van Camp. She told us about how she wrote the Harry and Horsie stories. She read to us from her books and answered the children’s questions. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We also visited the “Opening Eyes” photography exhibit. The children looked at all the photos and shared with each other their three favourite ones. Some of the children are excited to enter the contest themselves next year! </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">This week the children learned more about Kuma Cambodia’s Book Book Tuk Tuk and their Village Clean Up. These are two of the projects that we are going to try and support during our “Service Begins With Me” unit. The children worked together to come up with suggestions on how we could help Kuma buy books for their mobile library. Some of the children suggested that we give them some of our books from home that we are not using anymore. However we soon discovered that books are very heavy and expensive to ship to Cambodia. The children then suggested we could have a book sale and sell our old books to raise money for Kuma to buy books for their Book Book Tuk Tuk. Some of the children also suggested a bake sale. We will keep you informed as to our plans for hosting our book and bake sale as they evolve. The children also came up with suggestions on how to help the villages around Kuma with their “Village Clean Up” efforts. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The suggestions included:</span></div>

<span class="s1">A message from Jane Shearer (our music teacher): <i>Grade 1 have been invited to sing at the family festival. They will be singing two songs that we have worked on in the music lessons. Parents have the option to sign their children up in the e-brief. </i></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"><i></i></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Our PE teacher, Ms Thompson, has asked me to remind everyone about swimming on Monday and Friday. We have had a number of children forgetting their swim gear and not participating in this important component of the PE program. Please remember to bring your swim suit, towel, swim cap and goggles on PE days. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"><i></i></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Maths night - look for the information about Maths night in the eBrief. A chance for you and your child to solve problems and puzzles in a fun and active way!</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Spirit Day is on Friday March 18. The theme is “Career Day”. The children have been invited to dress up as something they could be when they grow up. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The children have been learning about Kuma Cambodia and are excited about working on a service project to help the Kuma community. This week we learned more about Kuma Cambodia by watching an interesting video about “A Day in the Life” of the children who attend Kuma School. We learned about their school and about their community. We talked about the similarities and differences between our lives and the lives of the children in the video.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Our non fiction reading and writing units are unfolding and we are learning how to distinguish the “main ideas” of each page that we read and write and which bits of information are “super important information” and which bits are just “nice to know”. Please ask your child what the topic is that they are writing about. Please ask them what sections they have decided to use in their “table of contents”. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">On Wednesday we travelled to the theatre to watch the Elephant and Piggie Show. It was a great follow up to our Reader’s Theatre and Arts Festival units. Please enjoy the video below with highlights from our excursion. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">In Math we have been revising our understanding of how addition and subtraction relate to each other. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">7+5=12 so 12-5=7</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">22+7=29 so 29-7=22</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /><span class="s1"></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We have also been playing games to explore how to use strategies to figure out a missing addend. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">7+______=12 What strategy could I use to solve this? </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">22+ _______= 29 What strategy could I use to solve this?</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We have also been revising how to add and subtract by 10 using a hundreds chart. Ask your child if they can remember the strategy we can use to quickly add or subtract 10 from a number. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The children enjoyed a visit to the grade 4&5 art room and did an art project with Mr. Betts. They explored using different shapes to create Picasso style art work. They also learned about shading and colour combinations. Please enjoy the video below.</span><br />
<br />

<span class="s1"></span>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">And finally everyone’s favourite - Outdoor Play! The children have been doing a great job of including each other this week in their outdoor play. There were lots of games going on at recess including “cops and robbers", chasing and climbing. It’s great to see the children managing themselves outside and having lots of fun! </span><br />

<span class="s1">Another busy week of learning for Grade 1 LJe. On Monday we were busy “Shoebox Shopping”. The children were given a shopping list of things to “buy” for their box along with tokens to spend. Thank you to all the parent volunteers who acted as “shopkeepers”. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The children also painted wrapping paper for their boxes. Our Grade 5 buddies came to our classroom to help us wrap the shoeboxes so they would be ready for the residents at Happy Lodge. On Wednesday we boarded the bus with our wrapped presents and were on our way to Happy Lodge. We entertained the residents with songs, a dance and a poem. They were very appreciative and gave us lots of applause. The children all reflected on how making the residents at Happy Lodge so happy had also made them feel happy. It was a wonderful afternoon. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We also celebrated International Mother Language Day. The children participated in activities set up outside the library in which they tried to learn how to say colours in different languages. Thank you to the parent volunteers who ran all the different language stalls. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We were invited to visit Grade 2 this week as they were preparing for their “Wax Museum”. The children were impressed with how the Grade 2 students had learned so much about an explorer and how some of them had even memorised their speech! It was fun for the Grade 1 students to have a peek at something they will be taking part in next year. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We have begun our non-fiction reading and writing unit. This week all of the children were able to log on to MyOn using their username and password which is in their reading logs. This is a great resource especially for non-fiction books. Ask your child what topic they have decided to write their own book about. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">What a treat it was to learn from Conrad and his mom and dad about the festival from Denmark called Fastelavn. Ask your child what they made in order to celebrate the King and Queen of Cats!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">And finally, our Arts Festival video has been downloaded to the school’s Vimeo channel and is available to view by following <a href="https://vimeo.com/156209992">this link</a>. Enjoy! </span></div>

<span class="s1">Please enjoy the slide show below showing some examples of your child’s learning this week. In math the children investigated symmetry and fractions. The children had a chance to perform their reader’s theatre scripts in front of the K1 classes this week. They did a fantastic job of using lots of expression and spoke loudly and clearly! A few of the students were able to perform for their younger siblings which was quite special for them. In reading and writing we have started to explore non-fiction. Ask your child how non-fiction is different from fiction. The children enjoyed being in the pool for PE. Could you please make sure that each item of clothing is clearly labeled with your child’s name. We have already had some accidental shorts and shirts swapping because uniforms were not labeled. Thank you very much. The children will be preparing for their visit to Happy Lodge on Monday. Please do send in your child’s permission slip if you have not already done so. On Monday the pod will be turned in to a shopping centre and children will shop from a shopping list to fill their shoe box. The K2 students have made wrapping paper and we will use this to wrap the shoe boxes after they are filled with gifts for our elderly friends at Happy Lodge. </span></div>

<span class="s1">The last week of school before Chinese New Year was a busy one with our Arts Festival as well as celebrating Asian Arts and Culture week. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The children did an absolutely amazing job with their performance and we hope you all enjoyed it. Thank you to those parents who have contributed a comment about our Arts Festival on our "padlet". You can find our padlet on the previous class blog post. Please take a moment to leave us a comment and I will share these with the children when we get back to school. </span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The official video of the Grade 1 Arts Festival has not been released yet, however here is the video that all of the children contributed to which played during our Arts Festival. I’m sure you will agree that the children have made some stunning pieces of art and very creative video using Minecraft. They also did a fantastic job of recording their voices and telling the story fluently and expressively. </span><br />

The children were very lucky to have a chance to participate in a workshop with our differently abled friends from Epic Arts Cambodia. We were also treated to a performance by Epic Arts. Below are a few videos from our workshop and the Epic Arts Performance. Ask your child if they can remember how people from Epic Arts communicate. Ask them to give you a demonstration of how we were taught to say “thank you” and “children”. If you would like to read more about Epic Arts with your child here is a <a href="http://www.epicarts.org.uk/cambodia">link to their website</a>.<br />

<span class="s1">The children are all looking forward to seeing you at the Arts Festival performance this Thursday Feb 4th from 9:00 - 10:00. We would then like to invite you back to the grade 1 pod to view our art work. Below are two photos of our positions on the stage. you may want to use the photos to help you decide where to sit in order to have the best view of your child on stage. The first is our class position on the risers. The second is a grid of your child’s spot during our class performance. </span></div>

<span class="s1">The children have worked hard on a t-shirt design for their Arts Festival t-shirt. They drew with fabric crayons and painted with fabric paints and are very proud of this piece of art. They have decided as a group that they will wear blue denim pants, shorts, skirts or jeggings for the performance. We discussed how it would not be necessary for the children to go out and buy anything new. If your child does not have any denim, then anything blue or black will be fine. The children have been very flexible in deciding this! Also, some children have offered to bring in an extra pair of denim shorts in case a friend does not own a pair already. Could you please send this in on Monday or Tuesday at the latest so that we are all ready for our dress rehearsal on Wednesday.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It’s been an exciting week in Grade One LJe. The children were busy preparing for our upcoming Arts Festival in many creative ways. In writing we collaborated and wrote a class story. We started by brainstorming all our ideas for characters, settings and events. Everyone had a chance to contribute their ideas and we have come up with a very creative story together! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">For reading we practiced reading our Arts Festival story in parts. We focused on reading with fluency and expression. We also had a chance to read with some big buddies from grade eleven. The grade elevens also performed a few of our Reader’s Theatre scripts for us. It was fun to see our big buddies reading “The Three Little Pigs” and “Cinderella” using their best expression!</span></div>

The children worked collaboratively in small groups to make a shape poster. They decided as a group how to sort the shapes into categories and named their categories together. </span></div>

We hope that everyone had a lovely break whether you travelled overseas or stayed in Singapore. On Monday we enjoyed sharing the highlights of our holidays during "What's News?". It definitely sounded like everyone had a great time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1LJe have had an action packed first week. The children were very excited to start our new Unit of Study, "Arts Festival". We started thinking about what it means to be creative and shared our ideas through a whole class mind map. Can you tell your parents about different ways that you show your creativity? How are we demonstrating creativity in the photographs below?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week we finished our unit on Addition and Subtraction. Our next unit is "Geometry". Throughout this unit we will explore the attributes of 2D shapes. When you are at home or out and about have a look at the shapes in your environment. Which shapes can you see? Are some more common than others? Do you have a favourite shape? Discuss your ideas with your family.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We also started our new unit, "Opinion Writing". We read a number of fantastic picture books to get us talking about and justifying our opinions. One of the books that we read was "A Fine, Fine School" by Sharon Creech. This book explored the idea of going to school on weekends and even during the holidays! Do you think this is a good idea? Can you give good reasons to support your opinion? What do the rest of your family think?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We have had a very exciting week filled with lots of lovely events. On Tuesday our friends from Happy Lodge came to visit us. We performed songs for the residents and then some of the children served them drinks, cakes and biscuits. After this, everyone really enjoyed watching the High School Circus Service group who entertained us with juggling, balancing and much more. It was very exciting!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On Thursday we were very excited to take part in the Uniting Nations Performance. Everyone worked so hard to prepare for this during music lessons with Miss Shearer and at all of the rehearsals. The children looked fantastic in their special outfits. In our Morning Meeting we explained to the rest of the class what we were wearing and why it was important to us. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This week we have continued with our investigations and research about the body. We thought about different activities that we can do to keep our heart healthy. We even made some 'blood' together! Can you tell your parents some of the new things that you have found out? Perhaps you could share some tips about making healthy choices........</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In Reading Workshop, our new unit is well underway. We used the anchor chart below to really think and talk about our books. Explain to your parents how the chart works. As you read together at home, share with your parents things that interest you, surprise you, or make you laugh. Can you create some of your own 'thinkmarks' to share with the class next week?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On Thursday we had a wonderful time visiting the Boarding House. Our buddy Lesian was kind enough to give us a very informative tour of the facilities. We saw where the boarders eat, sleep, relax and do their laundry! What was your favourite part of the tour? Tell your parents about something surprising or interesting that you saw. Can you explain where we are in all of the photographs below?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>The Giving Tree</b> - In the lead up to the holiday period we would love the children to take some time to think about others in our local community and support a worthy charity, <i>Toys From The Heart. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>Toys From The Heart </i>provides toys to needy children in Singapore for their birthdays and other cultural festivals. From the 1st-9th December the children can donate one of their pre-loved toys to this project. Toys should be clean and in good working order with all of their pieces. They do not need to be gift wrapped. This is an entirely optional opportunity but it would be fantastic if 1LJe could be involved. </span><span style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">More information can be found in the Grade 1 Announcements.</span><br />
