I am excited to be on holiday next week; the cold winter has taken its toll and I am ready to relax a little somewhere warm. Before I do that though a couple of things I need to pass on…

Happy Birthday Hsuan Hsuan
Thank You to Kevin’s Family for volunteering to take care of Harry Hamster for the break
Reports are coming home today, please check out this post if you are unsure of how I have completed my report cards

Please respond if you want an interview time for the 7th or 8th of April; the 3pm Thursday slot is full and a 1pm Friday is now available if someone needs that. There are also spaces on Friday at 8,9,10 and 11 am. There are four parents I haven’t heard from yet so get back to me when you can please.

Thank You to the 7 parents that responded to the teacher survey; your child will also have the chance to give me constructive feedback, as on the first day back after Spring Break during their counseling session they will be filling out a similar survey.

There are multiple things to tell you and rather than post them all again, Ms Yick has done a wonderful blog post so please click here IF you are interested in the following, a cartooning workshop on March 25th, your child entering the Shanghai Film Festival and an Earth Day t.shirt design competition, also for your child to enter. All of these things will be shared with your child within class time if they haven’t been already.

I’d love any feedback from parents who went to see Race to Nowhere last night.

Finally, I love this blog, and thought some of you might appreciate reading something ‘non-educational’ over the break…I hope you get the chance to enjoy walking with your family in the coming weeks… Stay safe, Happy Spring Break…

Welcome to Quarter 4

I hope you all had a great, relaxing spring break. I have heard many exciting stories from students about their travels during spring break. Check out individual student blogs to see what they got up to. It’s hard to believe but your child is into the final quarter of their fifth grade year and of course their elementary schooling too!

I can tell you that it will be a busy one and it will be over before you know it. We have many fun filled and important events coming up this quarter such as; field trip, parent conferences, soccer day, spring fling, transition assembly, fun day and more.hold on for an exciting ride!

Parent Conferences

Times are now all confirmed for Thursday 9th and Friday 10th of April and report cards are coming home this Friday. See this letter regarding the report card changes.
