This week we have been discussing article 29 – Goals of Education -to develop every child’s personality, talents and abilities to the full. It must encourage the child’s respect for human rights, as well as respect for their parents, their own and other cultures, and the environment. We discussed the fact that talent needs to be practised to become even better. We discussed different types of exciting and interesting careers your children could take by developing their unique talents and gifts.

We continue to work on developing reading skills to clarify, predict and summarise whatever text they read as well as developing a wider word/vocabulary. In math, Algebra is a big hit with most children very enthusiastically taking part in lessons. We are also working on applying our knowledge of time to use train and bus timetables as well as improving data handling skills.

We continue to explore different body systems and how we keep our bodies healthy.

We continue to take care of local environment by taking care of the school gardens and growing our flowering plants and vegetables.

Next week the children will be meeting their new Primary 6 teacher which they are all very excited about. It was lovely to meet the parents again this week. Your children are a credit to all of your love, dedication and hard work. Thank you for all your support. Hopefully everyone will enjoy a lovely, sunny, relaxing weekend.
