Month: June 2020

Dear Grade 1 Parents,

It’s hard to believe that the school year is over. What a year!

The attached activities in the Home Learning Grid and in Seesaw are optional and a reminder too that there are no more Zoom sessions. Please feel free to use any of these activities during the summer holidays too.

Please remember to drop off any remaining school textbooks, library books, reading books and the plastic/cardboard clock at school this week. There are a few items of work to collect for each child from the breezeway in the main building.

We have LOVED teaching your children this year and will really miss having them in our classes. We would like to thank you for all your support in getting through Home Learning. We couldn’t have done it without you. May you all have a wonderful Summer Break!

Hello parents,

We hope that you had a fabulous long weekend! (Remember there is no work set for Monday as it is a Public Holiday!)

This is the final week of formal teaching. Please ensure all assignments have been uploaded to Seesaw, quizzes completed on Quizizz and any other work handed in to all teachers by Friday June 19. Next week, there will be an optional learning grid full of fun activities and ideas should you wish to use it.

This week, the children will be combining their research skills from Literacy and Social Studies to find out about our Cayman Heritage and Symbols – see Literacy learning grid for details. For Wednesday’s lesson, children can use the attached flag and coat of arms template or create their own.

This week’s reminders:

1. Chapel Link: https://youtu.be/wAjh8RQBcsg
2. Mrs E has recorded an extra special storytime video. There is no comprehension quiz for this week, just enjoy the story!: https://youtu.be/Y1kJtUgjziM.

• Tuesday – Only 1A Show and Tell (You can choose something to tell the class about)
