1F Weekly News
What's been happening in the Land of Learning?
Greetings from Ms. Cat's Desk
I have included a link to the photos folder. If you wish to download your own child's photo, please do so. Ms. Barber has put together a quick video of the Sports Day which you will find below as well, along with another photo video from me.
Things to note for the next two weeks include the Qatar National Sports Day on Tuesday, when there will be no school, and the 100th day celebrations on Thursday which will involve fun activities for all Grade 1, all day. Thank you to everyone who has sent in 100 of something to the classroom. Please also make sure that your child is working through the Valentine's Day cards as homework, and is on track to have them ready for our class celebrations the following week.
Enjoy your weekend.
Ms. Cat
