Dear Parents,
Happy Friday! This week definitely flew by. We were busy finishing writing our bios on explorers, starting our new unit, painting biomes, wrapping up our unit on measurement, learning new happiness habits, supporting our younger colleagues at the mini-olympics, and learning from our colleagues through the grade six exhibition. All in all, a fabulous week.
Our new unit kicked off with a bang, and the children are very excited to be learning about animals, plants, and biomes. On Thursday of next week, we will be taking a learning trip to Bali Safari Park. Permission slips will come home today. Please return the slip on Monday so that we are all set for the trip. Bali is an amazing place to support this unit, and if resources allowed, we would have UOI outside the classroom and all over Bali for the next four weeks. Unfortunately, we cannot do that, but perhaps you could take advantage of the opportunities with your family. below are some suggestions. If you do venture out, please take pictures and share your experiences with us. Also, I am aware that many of our parents have a background in environmental work or take recreation through diving. If you would like to come in to talk with the children, we would be very grateful! Just let me know when you are able to come in.
Places worth visiting in Bali include: Elephant Safari, Bali Sterling, Bali Bird Park, Bali Botanical Gardens, Any of the many turtle foundations, and of course, snorkelling! If you have other suggestions, let me know and I will add it on to the list.
What's Coming Up?
Next week Tuesday is the BIS athletic day. We will be venturing out for a day of friendly competition. Please return the permission slip for this great event on Monday along with the Safari Park slip. Here is a note from Mr. Sutherland and Mr. Lennan regarding BIS Athletics day and BSSA Athletics day:
