“An adult who does not understand that a child needs to use his
hands and does not recognize this as the first manifestation of
an instinct for work can be an obstacle to the child’s
development.”
Dr. Maria Montessori |
END OF YEAR GOOD WISHES
Your entire
faculty and staff wish you and your families all the very best for a
happy and safe summer. We all look forward to seeing you in the new
school year. Returning students start on the 5th September 2011 and new
students on 7th September 2011. Students moving from Crèche to Casa
will begin with the returning students on 5th September. The
Crèche will be following the CHMS BVI calendar for the next school year
so the same dates will apply.
As in previous
years we do not start P.E./Music/Poetry/Drama/ASC/Latin/Domestic Science
until October so as to give the children time to settle in.
POETRY NIGHT
This event was a
huge success and enjoyed by all who attended. The children presented
their own work entitled "Circus on the Moon" and Children's Hour by
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. They also presented an improve dance piece
organized by the "hip hop boys". Many thanks to the parents that
donated refreshments for the children.
SPORTS DAY
This event is
always well received by students and parents alike and thanks to Coach
Charlie's planning it went very well. Thank you to all the parents that
supported this wonderful event in the heat.
