Australia for a Day

Hello P3 Parents!

Although the celebration was small compared to International Children’s Day in the past, everybody had a blast celebrating all things Australia! The children created fun crafts such as Paper Plate Koalas, Boomerangs, Aboriginal Dot Painting, and even had some vegemite on toast! Surprisingly, many of them absolutely loved it and asked for seconds! We enjoyed seeing your children dressed up in cultural attire. We had traditional wear from Samoa, China, and even had cowboys, cowgirls, and a member of the royal family!

November is a short month, please take note of these important dates:

Wednesday, 11/11: NO SCHOOL, Veternan’s Day

Thursday, 11/19: Picture retake day

Wednesday-Friday, 11/25-11/27: NO SCHOOL, Thanksgiving Holiday

The children have concluded their November studies. They were fascinated learning about the human body, from the 5 senses to naming different bones. Fall was definitely a feeling despite the warm weather, as many enjoyed writing stories about pumpkins and trees changing color. We also learned about how unique mammals are, how they are the only animals with hair and feed their babies milk from their bodies!
