Dear Parents,
Have a wonderful and relaxing Spring Break whether you are travelling or
staying here in Chennai. Enjoy the time to touch base with your child on all
they have learned so far this year, and don’t forget the elementary spring
break postcard challenge! 5BT won last time - which class will win the pool
party this time?
Towards the end of this semester, we had a wonderful festival of the
arts with our Art Exhibitions in the FAC atrium, and our first ever Spring
Concert yesterday. A huge round of applause for all our arts teachers; Ms
Anita, Mr Joseph, Ms Priya, Ms Jane, Ms Sarah, Mr Finny and Mr Vasanth. In addition, we would like to
give special thanks to Yeri Kang, an extraordinary accompanist and parent
volunteer for her willingness to step in at the last minute to give her time
and talent to The Singing Raptors.
Finally, thank you to the amazing and talented
community choir; Caroline Vang Kristensen, Yeri Kang, Boksil, Choi(Cecile), Junko
Sakamoto, Chigusa Goda, Bénédicte Couto, Aydan Oncul, Hanne B. Nørgaard,
Fumiko Ashihara, Uttara Bharath Kumar, Virginie d'Yvoire, Cathy Tanaka, Lisa
Payne and Myla Bodary.
Playground Supervision
Unfortunately, towards the end of this quarter we had several serious
accidents occurring after 4:00 pm on our playgrounds. It is absolutely
imperative parents supervise their children closely after school as we have no
teachers on duty during this time. If you are choosing to remain at school, and
your child is playing on the playground you must be within sight and hearing
range. Sitting in the cafeteria is not an option if your child is playing
outside.
Early Release - Wednesday April 3
Our first Wednesday back after Spring Break is an Early release
Wednesday. Please be prompt at collecting your child at 2:00 pm.
Spring Break Postcard Challenge
Building on the success of the Winter Holiday postcard challenge, we
would like to encourage students to send a postcard (or two or more) from your
Spring Break travels. To encourage writing over the Spring Break, all Grade 1 -
5 children are encouraged to send a postcard from their spring break
destination. Postcards should include a written message of where you are and
what fun you have been having! This can be from Chennai, from other parts of
India or from wherever you are travelling to!
Postcards must include a message and be posted in
the mail. You can send as many postcards as you like - and the class who sends the
most postcards wins a pool party. Postcards must arrive at AISC by the end of
April to be counted. Challenge starts from next Friday 22 March, and we will do
the final count on Monday 22 April. 5BT won the first challenge - who
will win the next?
Early Years Coffee - Tuesday 9 April
After the break, our next parent coffee will
continue our communication and education on our multi-age classroom approach to
the early years programme. While this is specifically for EY3 parents,
any parent is welcome to learn more.
