The Social Committee would like to thank everyone who was able to make it Friday!
We had an Automatic…Systematic…Hydromatically Greased Lightning filled evening!
Cheers.

Try to create opportunities for ELL/English B students to be successful. Praise their achievements.

We have had a number of incidents where people have been hit and hurt by a ball that has been kicked or thrown by students who are playing on the concrete area in front of the school. Please move your soccer/football games to the grass or the soccer pitch at break time and before and after school.

Thanks for keeping our school entrance safe from flying footballs!

Mathematics has been called the universal language, it allows existing knowledge to activated as a lead into the teaching of new skills and concepts,however, there is a potential disadvantage. It can lead to high levels of frustration when students find that their lack of English interferes with their ability to do maths that they would otherwise find easy. They go from high achievers in the subject in their own language to strugglers in the maths class at NIS. This can be a blow to their self-confidence and self-esteem.

The Grade 1 Students will be assembling a BIG community in the foyer on Thursday. We have invited our Grade 1 parents to look at it on Friday. The Grade 1 children have planned, designed and made their great community. We invite you to appreciate their community on Friday as you walk through. Please ask your students to be respectful of the community project as they walk in the foyer. Everyone is invited to write compliments on a board.

Introduce students to the elements of their textbooks and how they can be used: Contents page, Index, Headings and subheadings, Vocabulary lists, Bold print (key vocabulary in context), Captions, Side bars, Maps, Graphs (Circle, pie, bar, picto-gram, etc.), Pictures, Bullet points,  etc.

Show students examples of these elements and talk about their function.

This is kind reminder from the NIS Community member about security alertness.

Dear All, just heard and knew there were several broken in last weekend in RFG. The thieves went in from open windows of bathroom or balcony sliding door.
Please be sure that all windows and doors are locked when you are not home or sleep at night. If you have broken windows or doors, please inform owners and management office to repair. For windows and doors better to have addition protection but the simple one maybe to one side of door fixed and use the stick to against.
