A LITERACY MORNING

Saturday, 19 February 2011 ~ for the families of Reception class and Junior 1. A BIG THANK YOU to all parents who came and for the generous contribution of food for refreshments. Perhaps there was not enough time to complete some of the projects, but we hope that you and your child had fun all the same.

We started the morning with songs ~ the sporting parents singing together with their children and doing the actions. Here's Ms Ayu and Ms Hidayah with the children.

The theme of the program was from the story ' The Hen and her Six Little Chicks'. We focused on 'hen', letter 'h' and number '6'.
