Dear K1 parents, due to rules of assembly, health and hygiene many events has been changed *. However, we have adjusted our services to give your children a happy return to school, focusing on their social/emotional development, preparing for K2, catching up on missed learning and giving them a great end of the year with focus on their next, last year of K2 at Newton!

- July 17th: The school year will officially end on July 17th (not July 10th as in the old calendar)
- May 25th: K1 classes will reopen and teachers will focus on teaching hygiene and virus awareness, while implementing standards and caring for children's emotional understanding and perseverance through the Covid-19 and period of closure.

Children are invited to wear fun, colorful or traditional clothes from their own countries/regions (it's not Halloween though). In classes teachers will put on silly performances, dances and host a fun day for everyone! (* May 29th event with parents is cancelled)
- June 8-19th: K1 levels will focus on catching up on level appropriate skills in accordance with the 2nd semester progress reports, arrange additional activities during "learning center time" to facilitate this development and communicate with parents if anyone seems unable to reach a satisfactory development process, with emphasis on social skills and "being a good friend".
- June 24th: Dragon Boat event at school. While we cannot invite parents and grandparents in to help making "Zhong Zi" at campus, children will be learning about the traditional events of the "Dragon Boat Festival" and they will fold and make boats in classes and let them sail in our water experiment area at campus. (It is also a spirit day and children can wear green/golden clothes).

- July 7-10th: K1 will host several fun activities about "Festival of Colors" and cultures, traditions in other regions and countries. Fun dances will be conducted with students and they will learn songs that celebrate the colorful and unique world we live in. Each class will make a video or slide-show of this special in-class celebration. (* June 18th and 19th Summer Concert events with parents are cancelled)
- July 15-16th: K1 talent shows, in classes. As a fun and confidence building end to the year teachers will prepare "Kids Guinness Books of Records" activities per class and children will be encouraged to share what motivates and inspires them with their friends in the class.
