Welcome back to term 2 at BIS!  

What a pleasure it was to see our enthusiastic and well rested F2 learners back at school on Wednesday!  It’s with great delight that we welcome some new friends into F2; Akemi, Teddy, Kimberly, Hao, Bee, Phuc Luan, Bobo and Thanh Mai, we are so excited to have you join us, on our F2 journey of learning, this term.

The children have been regaling us with holiday tales for the last few days, it sounds like everyone had a fabulous break and enjoyed spending time with family and friends. The teachers had a lovely break too, and are refreshed and excited to begin this new, action packed, term.  

Although it was a short week, we managed to fit a lot in.  The children enjoyed
having the opportunity to plan in all of our learning spaces; classroom, soft play room, fundino, splash pool and the big playground.  We also had our first library session of the term and music upstairs with Mr Jon. 

The teachers gave the classroom a wee shake up over the Christmas break and the children have enjoyed exploring the same, yet slightly different, classroom environment.  Together we have been rediscovering different learning areas and making new friends.  The focus these past few days has been on settling back in and remembering our class routines, the children have particularly enjoyed helping our new friends out, showing them the F2 'ropes'.  

















Have a great weekend!
