Welcome to Week 6

Dear Families,

We hope you have enjoyed your experiences engaging with Toddle through Term 1. As part of our commitment to sharing learning we’ve enhanced connection and engagement for families by integrating student learning into the portfolio. Toddle is a platform that supports the documentation of our written curriculum whilst providing a window into your child's educational journey. Within your child's portfolio you can now see their Unit of Inquiry Overviews and individual goals for Term 1. We encourage you to explore these posts with your child, fostering a dialogue by asking questions and actively participating in the discussion of their classroom experiences. Mark your calendar for March 26 at 5:30pm, as we will be hosting an information session for parents, we will delve into what it means to be an IB PYP World School and provide deeper insights into Toddle as a dynamic platform for sharing learning.

Last Friday 4 Green presented their learning at assembly. They shared their knowledge about the responsibility we all have to lead a healthy life, and the connection between good health and wellbeing. Their singing of 'I want to be healthy' and creative movement to the Olympics anthem certainly got us excited about the upcoming 2024 Olympics. It was wonderful to see the pleasure and enthusiasm on the students faces as they sang My God! Thank you 4 Green for this entertaining highlight reel of your learning in term 1.

Student reflection

To maintain a healthy body and mind you need to keep balanced. Being balanced means you have to exercise regularly , standard two times a week. You need to eat healthy food like carrots and cucumbers , and throw in a treat every now and then , the more healthy food you eat , you will build up more and more good germs in your body. Another essential thing you will need to do is stay hydrated by drinking lots of water, without water we would die , but be careful , too much water is possible , have a small drink every 25 - 30 minutes. Next , sleep is also without a doubt essential to your health, kids aged 5 - 17 need about 10 hours of sleep each night, if you don’t get enough sleep , you will be angry and grouchy all day. Finally , it is also important to relax , meditate and have a break. Keeping a healthy mind is extremely important because you will become stressed out more often , angry or sad . You can minimise this by meditating regularly , and relaxing after a big day. To be healthy you need to maintain a healthy body and mind by exercising , sleeping well, eating healthy, drinking water and relaxing. This is all part of being balanced , something essential for life. Eloisa S
