FS2 Notices

Recently, we have experienced some unusual rainy weather here in Muscat, which has brought a refreshing change to our routine. During this time, we would like to sincerely thank all parents for their wonderful participation and ongoing support with online learning. Your involvement has made a big difference in helping the children stay engaged and connected. It has also been a valuable opportunity for the adults to learn more about each child, gaining insight into their personalities, interests, and home environments. This strengthened connection between home and school has truly enriched the learning experience for everyone.

Phonics

Our Monster phonics work this week introduces ‘ear’ and  ‘ure’ trigraphs and graphemes. We enhanced the learning by using the story of ‘The frog and the coin’. We have focused on developing blending and segmenting skills in all activities.

New sight words covered this week are:  day, away, play, children

As usual, support material will be available on the Google Classroom.

Maths

We have been consolidating 2D and 3D shapes, patterns and number formation. Over the holiday continue to work on the next Maths targets that were stuck into POs during term 2. 

Spring Break

We would like to wish all of our families a very happy and restful Spring Break. We hope you enjoy this special time together, whether you are relaxing at home or spending time out and about. Thank you again for your continued support this term - it has been wonderful to see the children’s progress and enthusiasm for learning. We look forward to welcoming everyone back refreshed and ready for more exciting learning in the new term!

Uniform and Equipment

PE is on a Tuesday (children wear their PE clothes to school all day).

Swimming is on a Thursday (again children wear their PE clothes all day). Please bring in swim wear, towels and ‘crocs’ type shoes in a small bag. Swim hats for long hair please. Goggles are optional.

Correct uniform is to be worn by the children, please check the school website if you are unsure. However, we accept simple alternatives in the first weeks of the year especially with PE and swimming kits. Please speak to a teacher if you have any worries.

House colours for PE t-shirts are sent via the Parent Portal.  Ruwi is Red, Yitti is Yellow, Ghubra is Green and Bowsher is Blue. 

Please can we remind you to label all snack boxes, water bottles and other items that children bring into school, this prevents any upset when children mix up their belongings with others. 

Every child should bring a bottle of water every day. We are able to support them with refilling if they need more at any time. Juices and other drinks are not necessary at school - but can be given as a supplement inside their lunch box if you so wish.
