It is the end of week two already.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It has been a great week with a lot of things going on. I have been impressed with how our G6 team has been able to work together and are following routines, taking pretests and tuning in to our first unit of inquiry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You will also be impressed with some of the students&#8217; art work this week.

If you were unable to attend, please refer to the handouts emailed to you on Tuesday of this week for specific grade level\u00a0 information from homeroom teachers\u00a0 as well as additional information regarding Specialist teachers (Arabic, Omani Social Studies, Music, and Art).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These digital brochures also contain general information about the school for your referral and convenience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week, we have started to explore and sort out the observable and hidden aspects of culture using the iceberg analogy. Next week, we will make connections between our personal journeys and cultural aspects.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week, students have also completed two writing samples for us as teachers as part of getting to know them as learners. We will in turn discuss these individually with students and samples such as these will inform our goal setting process as we move through the year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Reminders:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>General:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students must have a <\/span><b>hat at school each day <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; It may even be an idea to have one that stays at school because there have been a number of students that were unable to play outside in the sun this week because of our \u2018no hat, no play\u2019 policy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Water bottles<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: please ensure that your child brings a water bottle to school each day- it is important for us to be well hydrated.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>iPad\u2019s<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Please ensure that your child\u2019s ipad is charged and ready for use each day.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>From the PE Team:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe schedule for <\/span><b>G6 swim\/ PE lessons<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> will be as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Grade 6 Girls<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Swimming &#8211; Sunday, 11:00-11:40<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">PE &#8211; Tuesday, 11:00-11:40<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Grade 6 Boys<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">PE &#8211; Sunday, 11:00-11:40<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Swimming &#8211; Tuesday, 11:00-11:40<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To participate fully in lessons children will need\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Swim cap (compulsory)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Swim goggles (compulsory)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One-piece swimsuit for girls<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Swim trunks or shorts for boys<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Towel<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wet bag<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wet Shoes\/ jandals \/ flip-flops<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thank you everyone.
