K2 UISGZ Newsletter Week of 28st August 2015

K2 has begun to investigate their first unit of inquiry,

Who We Are. K2 thought about names of family
members in English and Putonghua. They drew their
families. Many students brought in photos of their
families to share with their class.
We have also begun our phonics program Letterland.
Each week we will send a sheet home featuring the
Letterland character we have met that week. This
sheet is sent home for any parent that would like to
support their childs learning further. You can also do
some activities with the letter C here:
