While Lower Primary is rehearsing for their Christmas productions we look forward to the end of term and accompanying festivities
Dear DCIS Parents and Guardians , Happy 2017 - I hope you all had a lovely relaxing break !
Welcome back to all our returning families and an extra big welcome to our new families ; I hope you will be very happy at Dover Court International School .
As ever , we have a busy term ahead with many events planned and much to look forward to . Some of this term ’ s events include Chinese New Year , when your children will be invited to dress in Chinese style clothing or the colour red and UN Day , which will be a celebration of nationalities , cultures and national costumes . We can also look forward to Book Week and Sports Week this term - more information on all these events will of course follow . We have number of class trips this term , including Year 4 ’ s exciting , inaugural residential trip – we look forward to hearing more about that when the students return !
I am sure you will be pleased to know that our guided reading books have arrived . We will need a little time now to organise the resources and train the staff in their usage so we can be sure of a consistent whole school approach . We are looking forward to rolling out our reading programme this half term .
I am delighted to introduce a new member of staff to you – Mrs . Lynn Jones will be teaching Year 1 as Mrs . Gray takes a non-classed based Deputy Head role along with Mr . Rinaldi . Mrs . Jones is a welcome addition to the team and we are delighted to have her onboard .
As ever , please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions or queries . Myself or a member of the Primary School Leadership Team will be delighted to help you .
Best regards ,
Ms Kara Lebihan Head of Primary School
