The busiest time of year is upon us now as the end of the year quickly approaches! The last few weeks have been really busy with preparations for the International Kids Day (IKD)last week and the upcoming Student Led Conferences (SLC) and End of the Year Party (and new member joined Mr. Brabant's family on May 23rd)!

Student Led Conferences - June 10-14

Coming up next are the SLCs between June 10th and 14th. For the second grade students, we will offer SLCs on Tuesday, June 11th, Thursday, June 13th and Friday, June 14th. Please follow this link to a Google Form to sign up. Complete the form by choosing a couple possible times by next Monday, June 3rd and Ms. Rose and I will arrange the schedule and get back to you with a confirmed time for your child's SLC early next week.

International Kids Day / Lion King Preview

Thanks to all that took part and supported the performances at the IKD last Saturday, the kids put on a great show this year with a mix of songs and club performances.

If you joined the IKD you had a sneak peak at some of the songs that the Grade 3 and 4 learners will be presenting in their performance of The Lion King as the culminating project for their year-long drama unit (How We Express Ourselves).

All DSKI learners and staff will have the opportunity to attend the full dress rehearsal assembly on Wednesday 19 June 2019.

The main performance will take place on Thursday 20 June at 19:00 (doors open 18:45). This production is open to DSKI parents, friends and previous learners. If you would like to join us please complete this Google Form to support our planning.

End of the Year Party

From 11:55 am you are invited to join other families and staff for a buffet style lunch. Each class will be responsible for bringing food to share. Look at the list below to find your child's class. Please make sure you provide enough food for 4 - 5 people. If you are bringing more guests, kindly provide an extra portion for them. Your child can bring the food to school in the morning and hand it over in the hallway to the PTA members who will be in attendance. Alternatively, parents can bring the food with them before the start of the program. Please bring a picnic mat to sit on in the outside area too.

Final Unit of the Year - How We Express Ourselves

Our final unit of the year has us focussing on the different ways we can express ourselves so it has brought out the artist in all of us! We have had several special art lessons with guest teachers, for example Ms. J worked with Grades 1 and 2 for dance lessons, Ms. Faye taught them how to do watercolour painting, I covered mask making and we have two more special guests coming in to teach photography and sculpture. You'll be able to see all of the art we've been creating at our mini-exhibition during the Student Led Conferences, but here's a fun preview of what we've done so far!
