Dear Parents,
April brings forth discussions about Spring / Le Printemps, the symbol of new life and renewal. We will focus our attention on seasonal changes, Easter and plants.
Easter is the ultimate celebration for the Christian community and extends beyond the day or weekend celebration (April 14-17). As Spring unfolds, life overcomes death, as reflected in all plant and animal life. Spring is so inviting for children to observe, explore and celebrate the signs of new life that are all around. In Science, we will examine life cycles (e.g. plant, butterfly, frog) and investigate how to distinguish between living and non-living things. We will also be experimenting with the concept of buoyancy at the water centre.
FRENCH vocabulary includes:
Spring/ printemps April/avril sun/ soleil rain/ pluie
umbrella/ parapluie flower/ fleur egg/ oeuf bird/ oiseau nest/nid
butterfly/ papillon rabbit/ lapin chick/ poussin new life/ nouvelle vie
Easter/ Pâques God/ Dieu ladybug/ coccinelle butterfly/ papillon
Please check the school "Lost & Found" for any of your missing items. Also please continue to reinforce school rules about personal toys staying at home. Thanks for your help in this regard.
