English International School Newsletter of the 18th October 2019

Dear Parents,

As we approach the mid-point in our first term, please note the following information:

World Food Day

FAO celebrates World Food Day each year in mid-October to commemorate the founding of the Organization in 1945 and to sensitize populations of the issues surrounding global hunger. We discuss World Food Day and its importance in school and aim to promote more sustainable ways of eating, cooking and living.

Halloween Parties – Thursday 24th October

Halloween will be celebrated in school on Thursday, 24th October. Pizza and snacks will be provided, so the children will not need to bring lunch on that day. Contributions of desserts and baked items are always welcome. Class teachers will provide further information of the celebration in each class.

Half-Term Holiday

Our half-term break will begin on Friday, 25th October. We will return to school on Tuesday, 5th November.

Institut Français

There are several events on offer at the Institut Français which appeal to children, teens and adults: exhibitions, concerts, theatre, dance, films, etc. Such events are discounted for Institut Français members or sometimes free of charge. We encourage students to take advantage of the fine cultural and language opportunities which come with membership at an extremely reasonable cost.

Lower School children are to be commended on their improved effort in keeping up with their belongings. We ask that parents help them maintain their progress by labelling (name tagging) their lunch and school bags, clothing and towels.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Yours sincerely,

Rebecca Khelseau-Carsky

Head teacher
