March theme : Under The Sea

We are entering into the theme of 'Under The Sea'. This theme has been brought forward as the school will be celebrating the 1 week school holidays(applicable for the primary school children) in Phyllis' Riccia School.
Over the past 1 month, we are proud of all the students' achievements in establishing a good foundation for concepts of 1 more and sequencing. On top of that, they have also acquired other physical skills such as aiming, throwing towards the estimated distance.

In terms of writing skills, children are practising how to form sentences using their newly acquired vocabulary. There are tremendous amount of learning involved during the process. Not only will the children learn about punctuation and grammar, they will put their thoughts into a flow of logical text. Mom and dad out there, this is not a simple task for beginners-young writers!
Following last month concept on sequencing, the children will be introduced to money and its value. Please allow your child to collect coins of all denomination and to bring to school by 15th March 2010.
We will also be experimenting with concepts of sink and float.
Enjoy this theme with your child! Hope that your child could also join the celebration on the 13th & 14th March 2010 as they can showcase their percaussion skills as well as speech & drama performance.
