Although we are not governed by the statutory holidays for schools, we follow the ESF schools calendar. During every year we have 5 teacher training days built into the calendar. This is in addition to the contact days with children. These CPD days are added onto our calendar not removed from the contact days with children.
Abacus Calendar for 2019-2020 is available here.
End of Term
This is our last newsletter of the year. We hope you all have a very restful holiday and enjoy time with your families. It is also time to say goodbye to our K1 and K2 leavers, we will miss seeing you around school next year but wish you the best of luck in your new schools. We know you will all be fabulous !
To all of our K1’s we will see you next term and look forward to seeing you grow and learn again next year. We can’t wait to hear all of your summer stories. Don’t forget our new session times next year will be:
AM Session – 8.30am-11.30am
PM Session – 1pm-4pm
We are also sad to be saying goodbye to Catalina Abel who has been teaching K2 this term covering Danielle’s maternity leave. We wish Catalina the best of luck next term and we will be seeing her at Abacus for supply. Thank you Catalina.
Also Olivia Kotyck is leaving us to return to Primary school. Thank-you also Liv for all of your contributions to Abacus and we wish you luck at Canadian International School next year.
Story Sharing Exhibition
The K2 children had their story sharing day last Friday. They showed all the hard work they have done around stories during the term. We shared their puppet shows, drama shows as well as stories they had written.
The photos from the day can be found here.
Please also see a video of the exhibition here.
Spare School Uniform
If any of our leaving families would like to donate their old red and beige uniform to us, we would be very glad to receive it. We have very few spare clothes in school since we changed to the new uniform. We will not be accepting old blue uniform anymore. Thank-you
