Dear parents,
What a beautiful week!! We can only hope that this gorgeous weather lasts awhile.
Safety First!
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you who participated in our big Earthquake release drill last Friday. It is so important for the children to practice what may happen in case of an emergency, and they really did a fantastic job of taking it seriously and remaining calm. They waited beautifully in the gym while waiting to be picked up. Thank you so much for packing them some quiet to do while they waited. A big bravo to Div. 15!
The earthquake drill fit in nicely with our study of safety and emergency services. If you haven’t already had the chance, a great way to support at home would be to talk about an evacuation plan with your children and to plan a meeting place outside your house in case of an emergency.
Saleema Noon
As mentioned in the last blog post, Saleema Noon was with us to talk about sexual health with the children today. I sent home an email this afternoon with everything that was discussed, so you can follow up at home should you wish.
Gala
A huge massive thank you to Deidre Weinstein for spearheading and creating our wonderful Gala project. It was absolutely fantastic and very creative. Thank you so much and bravo!! And thanks to Sally for purchasing it! I bet it looks great on your wall! I hope those of you who went to the Gala had a marvellous time!
A Date to Remember
Though it seems ages away, the end of the year is fast approaching. The Grade One students always celebrate the end of the year with a wonderful beach party at Ambleside. Everyone is invited to come – all parents, younger siblings etc. The date for the party will be Monday, June 28th from 10:45 – 2:30. Details to follow in a few weeks time.
Dictée
Our weekly dictée are still going strong. Please note that due to the Pro-D next Friday (the 21st) and Sports Day the following Friday (the 28th) our dictée tests will be on Thursdays for the following 2 weeks.
Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts!
