The Little House (Montessori)
Dear Parents,
Welcome back to The Little House (Montessori).
We embark on the theme of the Weather this term. Over a 2 week cycle through the term, your children will take home activities that are related to the theme. We endeavour to make each activity age appropriate.
There will be no school on the following dates:
Monday 31st March (Hari Raya Puasa)
Friday 18th April (Good Friday)
Thursday 1st May (Labour Day)
Monday 12th May (Vesak Day)
Wednesday 28th , Thursday 29th, and Friday 30th (Teacher Parent Conferences)
There are excursions scheduled on the following dates:
Wednesday 9th April (National Gallery)
Wednesday 30th April (Walk along Singapore River)
Wednesday 21st May (Gardenasia)
Children who are not signed up for the excursion can be sent to school at 12 noon, after we have returned from the trip, if they are signed to the extended day programme.
A gentle reminder that on the mornings of excursions, drop offs will be at Mayfair Park near the T-junction between Jalan Gaharu and Jalan Keria. Please look out for staff dressed in our school shirts. Please drive on to school to drop bags off.
A gentle reminder that "Show and Tell" is conducted by level and over several days. This will allow for better time management and greater period for discourse.
Mondays – N2ers (born 2021)
Tuesdays - K1ers (born 2020)
Wednesdays - K2ers (born 2019)
Please help your child pick an item to show. Due to time constraints, each child can only show and chat about one object.
A reminder that every child should come into school with a spare change of clothes every day.
We will issue reusable wet bags for soiled clothes. Each bag is numbered and should be washed and returned when it is ready.
Cooking is held every Thursday. Those who are sent to school and arrive after 9.30am (not on the school bus) will be unable to cook as they would have missed the cooking demonstration. Children with long hair should have their hair tied on cooking days.
Music and movement is held every Friday for N2ers, N1ers and PGers. Races will be on Fridays for K2ers and K1ers. We would appreciate that your children are attired in shorts and tee-shirts on the specified days to facilitate movement. Dresses for girls tend to hinder.
We would also like to request that you please send your children in on time each day. Drop-off starts at 8.30am and we close the doors by 9.15am and will reopen once more only at 9.30 am. Please drop us an email if you need to send your child in early.
For those who will be celebrating their birthday from 24th March to 29th June, kindly send at least two photos of your child for each year of birth, with notations, a week before your child's scheduled birthday walk. More information will be relayed to you by the directresses as each directress is allotted a birthday to celebrate.
The catered lunch menu can be viewed at this link. Menu for quarter 2 will be uploaded next week.
The days for the Teacher/Parent Conferences are 28th, 29th, and 30th May. Please book a slot by using this link: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=20286047&appointmentType=15956812
Lastly but of no less importance, please ensure that the office is told of any changes in address and contact details and should you be outstation at any point in term. This is vital for cases of emergencies.
Our warmest regards,
TLH
