The second term is rushing by . It has been extremely positive with staff and students once again actively engaged in teaching and learning.
I am excited about the educational challenges that are still ahead and know you will continue to support us in our efforts to make FIS the best it can possibly be. There are some very exciting actions coming up such as; the Year 1/3 trips / Y3/4/5/6 Athletics Days, Young Readers Festival and Y5 camp. We are also aiming to continue our focus upon teaching and learning development in allareas and phases of the school. A parent forum with a focus upon Bilingualism was organised for Wednesday 2nd March. I also wanted to make you aware that the school’s teacher recruitment process is well underway. We are interviewing for the positions of PE teacher and Music teacher for August 2016. The process is rigorous and involves the input of students and staff I’m hopeful of informing you of its outcomes very shortly. Young Readers Festival FIS is celebrating all things books /reading and writing! We want to turn the spotlight onto literacy and focus on books and writing and reading stories. Our theme to support the Festival is in reading/writing our own stories and reading the growing popularity of graphic novels and comic books. Different year groups have chosen different ways to learn with/about stories and using their writing /reading times. There will be a few impromptu sessions of buddy reading/ Mother tongue reading/ assembly time input etc This is not a book week its just to support the Hong Kong wide Festival |
