This week began our busy season of special events as we had open day on Tuesday and celebrated America’s 250th Anniversary on Thursday with some special guests from the American embassy, an American football session with Mr Davis, and a Rockabilly Jive dance session with Ms Daria Rashidova.
The Busy Bees enjoyed chasing after the football to carry it back for a touchdown and of course learned how to do a touchdown dance!
After football, the Bees joined the EY students for a Jive Dance session! They had a lot of fun dancing with their brothers and sisters!
In PE, we practiced some of the games that might be included in our upcoming Sports Day on November 23. The games and activities are team based and depend on cooperation from the team members, but the teams will also be competing against each other so we have been emphasizing the importance of trying our best, working together and not giving up when mishaps occur.
We also did some of our regular classwork this week.
In math, we began learning about how to tell the time, focusing on the hour and half hour, learning the difference between the minute and hour hands and how to read the clock as 8 o’clock or half past 8.
In language, Mr Jolly made his daily appearance to teach the new sound of the day.
Finally, our focus in unit this week was on how we have changed from when we were babies to now by comparing what we did then to what we can do now. The Busy Bees drew pictures and wrote down details to show how they have changed.
Such amazing changes are happening right now as they learn to express themselves in writing!
Next week, our busy event schedule continues the St Martin on the evening of Wednesday, November 11th as the DSKI students will parade around Rokko Island with their lanterns from 16:45 until the end of the event at 18:00. We are looking forward to seeing you there. Please note that there are no clubs scheduled on this day so please pick up your child at 15:30.
Sign up here for childcare during St. Martin's from 3.30pm - 4.45pm
