Fun Video about Healthy Eating

Dear Parents/Guardians, 

In Year 1, we are currently learning about healthy lifestyles for our final unit of inquiry. This unit focuses on preparing the children to make balanced choices which will help them to lead a healthy life. Below is a short video which helps to show the advantages of eating healthy food rather than junk food. 

Regards,

The Gruffalo

                                   

Dear Parents/Guardians,

This week we have been discussing the story 'The Gruffalo' by Julia Donaldson.

Below is a link to a great YouTube video with the entire story being sung. Please try to spend a bit of time with your child learning the words to the song and discussing the main characters - the mouse and the gruffalo. 

Have a nice weekend!

Mr.Meehan

P.S. The children were brilliant during this morning's assembly. Well done everyone!!

Reading with our Parents

Hi folks,

Here are a few pictures of some of the parents who've come in to read with our class over the past two weeks. It's been great to have so many of you in and the children have really enjoyed listening and responding to stories in English, Cantonese and Putongwa. I know that some of you will be visiting the class after the Easter holidays so I will add more pictures then.

Many thanks,

Mr. Meehan 

The 3 Little Pigs

Dear Parents/Guardians,

As part of your child's homework for the Easter holidays, I have asked that they practice retelling the story of The 3 Little Pigs. You will find more information about this in your child's handbook.

Below are some links to help your child develop their speech, particularly in terms of the sentence openers and vocabulary they should try to use. We have discussed this in class today, so hopefully your child has lots of fun telling you the story. Please encourage them to practice it in English and Chinese.

Kind regards,
Mr. Meehan

Some useful sentence openers
Once upon a time....                  First of all....                      After that....
After a while....                          Next....                             Just then....
Eventually....                             Suddenly....                        Finally....

Capital Letters & Full Stops

Dear Parents/Guardians,

This week we have been improving our use of capital letters and full stops when writing. Some of the homework your child has been given on Education City is relating to this. Please check the 'Comments' section on Education City for a more detailed outline of this.

Below are links to some interactive games from the BBC website which you may also want to try with your child.

Regards,
Mr. Meehan
