Weekly Updates, Monday 1 February, 2021


Happy February! 
We hope you were able to enjoy the sunny and cold weekend! 

This week we start with Grade 5 still learning from home and welcoming the health authorities on campus to learn about our COVID-19 protocols and help our decision-making by determining close contacts particularly related to Grade 5. We certainly hope that the visit will help us to prepare for any future contractions of the virus. On Tuesday, we will meet upon the COVID-19 protocols and share our learning of the health authority visits as well as to review and confirm our response to both the short term and long term closure of classes and how to support the learning of the individual students who are not able to attend school.


On Wednesday, we will take time to reflect on the past week or so and also to plan the next extended learning.

On Friday we (Riana, Trevor, and Heikki) will meet for half a day to look ahead and plan for the spring term related to Wednesday learnings, Curriculum development, and the feedback we collected from the ES faculty before the winter break.

Let’s have a wonderful start to the month!

Riana, Trevor, and Heikki

Weekly Updates, Monday 25 January, 2021


Dear Colleagues,

The last week of January is ahead of us and let’s hope it is less wet than the past weekend, and it is payday!

This week we will meet parents on Thursday morning to share our mathematics learning philosophy and practice. Please, share photos of your wonderful practice with Trevor and Riana prior to Thursday. We will be peeking into a number of classrooms around that time too. On Friday, we have some fun time with the assembly where we have a good selection of performances and sharing of learning starting at 13:35.. If you have more, please let Riana and Trevor know early on. This Wednesday we will start looking ahead to the Three-Way-Conferences that will take place on the 25 and 26 February. We want to give ourselves time to think about the different ways to create effective conferences as it is done online again.

Please follow the link for the rest of the duties this semester here.

I look forward to being back in the building, out of the quarantine, and meeting you all in person (Heikki).

Enjoy the week!

Riana, Trevor, and Heikki
