Jeux de la Francophonie

The Jeux de la Francophonie (Canadian English: Francophonie Games; British English: Francophone Games (French-speakers' Games) or The Francophonie) are a combination of artistic and sporting events for the Francophonie, mostly French speaking nations, held every four years since 1989, similar in concept to the Commonwealth Games.

Our French students and teachers, Mdm Hebert and Mdm Yard organised a spectacular Jeux de la Francophonie event on the basketball court this week.  It was wonderful to hear the teachers and students speaking and listening to French while participating in sporting events.  Compliments to our French teachers.

Year 4 Buskers Day

A celebration of learning in music took place this week.  The year four students sang songs, played musical instruments and prepared dance routines as part of their Buskers Day lunch time event. Thank you to Mr Marcello and the Year 4 students for an entertaining lunch time.

Kindergarten End of Unit Celebration at Gardens By The Bay

Today our Kindergarten classes enjoyed a day at the Gardens By The Bay. The water play area at Gardens by the Bay is a wonderful space for children to play and enjoy our warm Singapore weather.  The trip connected to their How the World Works unit of inquiry, the central idea of which is “The process of investigation leads to new discoveries”.

This week has been an incredible week of learning and the pictures that follow will give you a sense of the learning and excitement shared by both teachers and students alike. 

Thank you to all of the parents that help us around the school throughout the year.  This morning our House Team Captains Ella Redpath, Milla Bellancourt and Matthew Cox led us through a wonderful assembly dedicated to the CPG and the Homeroom parents that support us.  Thank you also goes to all of that support the primary school every day.
