Hello everybody and welcome to Lower Primary!!!

I feel so honoured to have the chance to learn with your amazing children... I have been enjoying getting to know them!

Hello everybody! 

During our first full week we reviewed some numeracy and literacy topics, polished up our reading and most importantly, we have been adjusting to our new routines and environment….We already feel at home here in Lower Primary. Good job everyone!

The personal value we have been focusing on this week is ‘Respect’. We have seen how important it is to be respectful, not only towards our classmates and teachers, but also with the school property! As a class we also discussed how to play and learn together. So we came up with 8 “golden rules’: Be a friend. Listen. Share. Help clean up. Wait for your turn. Raise your hand. Safety first: walk, do not run. Keep your hands to yourself.

During our first week we also talked about how our brain loves to take on new challenges. We now know that we should keep trying when something seems difficult at first. This helps our brain to establish new connections. When we try again it will become easier. We did a brainstorm and all of us could think of something we found hard at first and with some perseverance it did become easier!

We also discussed what LEARNING means and as a class we came up with some interesting definitions; take a look:

I also would like to congratulate all Lower Primary students for their amazing performance at their first spelling test. Sitting down quietly, concentrating, listening to the dictation, writing the words correctly and doing all of this at the same time is not easy! Everybody got excellent results and I hope you guys will keep it up all throughout the year!

As a team building exercise all Primary pupils had a fun morning at the Citadel Park. We took full advantage of the nice after-summer weather! Take a look at some shots:

Today we also had our very first assembly of the year! Our Head Teacher welcomed the new students! 

Las but not least, we celebrated Aryans birthday! We had yummy cake and lots of fun! Congratulations!

Have a great weekend and see you in two weeks time!
