What's Been Happening in Level 2

Celebration Day

What a successful day we had last Wednesday with a wonderful array of dress ups and food. Students were buzzing with excitement to see everyone dressed up in costume of their families cultural origins. Students got to rotate through 5 different culture and historical inspired activities including old fashioned games such as marbles and elastics, solving Tangrams, dancing the Zorba and creating a post card telling someone why they should visit their country. But to finish the whole day off with a bang students enjoyed a multicultural feast, trying lots of different foods which originated around the world. Thankyou to all for putting in such a big effort in getting costumes and food organised. We could not have had such a successful day without you.

Swimming

Swimming is going along swimmingly!

 Everyone is enjoying going to the pool and learning some new and important water skills. The last swimming session will be Thursday 17th Sept.

If you require a meeting with your child's teacher please don't hesitate to make an appointment with us.

Have a wonderful holiday break and we will see you all next term!
