SUMMER UNIFORM

All students must change to summer uniform with effect from Wednesday, 19th April.

STUDENT PICK-UP CARDS

Please be reminded of the pick-up card arrangements.

General procedure for collecting students from school

Anyone collecting your child from school should present his/her Anfield School

Pick-up Card to the teacher at the time of dismissal. If you cannot collect your child in

person, the card should be passed to one of the persons named on our Release

Authorisation Form. The teacher will release your child to that person but only upon

presentation of the pick-up card (student card).

In the case that you are unable to forward the card to anyone, you must call the school

office on 2692 8823 as soon as possible, to inform the school as to who will be

collecting your child and by providing his/her FULL NAME and HONG KONG ID

NUMBER (even if his/her name is already named on the Release Authorisation Form).

If we do not hear from you, we will not release your child until we have contacted

you and/or an authorised person comes to pick the child up.

The school will call you for reconfirmation if we have any doubt regarding

non-parental pick up.

STUDENT TEMPERATURE RECORD SHEET

Please take your child's temperature every day before they come to school.

Parents/Guardians should record the child's temperature on the record sheet which

can be downloaded from the school website and sign it daily. Children will have their

temperature checked again as they arrive school.

*If the temperature is over 99oF or 37.2

oC, your child should not come to school and

you should consult a doctor promptly. Please contact the school to let us know that

your child will be absent.

PARKING

Please note that there is NO parking in school or on the roadside outside of school. To

avoid traffic congestion and the resulting dangers to the children, please avoid parking

close to the school.

We have been informed by the Management Office of World-Wide Gardens, that the

local police will be monitoring traffic near the school daily from 7.15 to 8.15am and

also from 3.15 to 4.45pm to ensure that cars are not being parked inconsiderately.

Please follow our advice and do not park near the school as you run the risk of

receiving a parking ticket!

There are free parking spaces at World-Wide Gardens visitors’ car park where you can

park for 30 minutes.

NUT FREE SCHOOL

Anfield School is a NUT FREE school as we have a number of students and staff with

severe nut allergies across the year-levels. When someone is allergic to tree nuts or

peanuts, the immune system overreacts to proteins in these foods. Every time the

person eats (or, in some cases, handles or breathes in) a peanut or tree nut, the body

thinks the proteins are harmful invaders. The immune system responds by kicking into

high gear to fend off the “invader.” This causes an allergic reaction, in which chemicals

like histamine are released in the body. This would cause the affected student to have

a severe and possibly life threatening allergic reaction, in need of medication and

possible hospital care. Children eat in a communal lunch room and so expose all

children and staff to nut products if these are brought in. This includes chocolates such

as Ferrero Roche and peanut butter products. Therefore we ask that you please be

thoughtful and sensitive to this issue when making your child’s snack/lunch and not

allow them bring any nuts or nut-products to school.

IN THE CLASSROOM

A weekly look at what has been happening in your child’s classroom…

YEAR 1 – Miss Elise, Mr. Casey

Year 1 children have thoroughly enjoyed Maths Week, exploring all the different areas

within the subject. They have completed maths lessons linked with a variety of other

subject areas - science using magnets, computing using algorithms to make cup

pyramids, art using shapes and design technology measuring length. With maths being

an integral part of all these lessons, it was really stimulating for the children to

recognise the importance of maths in many other curriculum areas.

Continuing with our message from a sailor who is stranded on a desert island, we have

thought about what it would be like if we were in the sailor’s position. We created

mind maps of what we would do if we were on the island and the kinds of food we

could find to eat. The children created a list of all the important things they would do

and would need to survive, explaining their choices. With our lists in mind, we looked

at writing a diary entry, ensuring that we wrote in the first person using the words ‘I’

and ‘we’, that it was written in chronological order and also time connectives were

used. The diary entries were very exciting and it was interesting to see what each

individual child thought was important to them!

In science, we explored the forces of push and pull in more depth. This week, we

looked at the force “pull” and completed different investigations into how a pull force

can change or be affected, looking at weight, type of surface, the amount of people

contributing to the pulling force and the distance to pull across – very tiring

investigations indeed!

In R.E., we looked at mehndi designs used as body art. We learnt about their use in

celebrations and festivals, what they represent and symbols which are important. The

children drew their own mehndi patterns ensuring they used symbols important in

Hindu religion.

YEAR 2 – Miss Rachel, Miss Megan

We have had another wonderful week in Year 2!

This week in English, we have been revising our understanding of how to write an

effective character description. The children looked at a familiar character and we

discussed how the character’s feelings change over the course of the story. We also

wrote some wonderful adjectives and descriptive phrases about their appearance.

Finally, we discussed our opinion of the character using wonderful sentence openers

such as ‘I believe…’ and ‘In my opinion…’. Miss Megan’s class also completed their

work on information texts and wrote interesting pieces of work on a variety of

animals.

It has been an exciting week of work in maths as we have celebrated our annual Maths

Week! The children have applied their mathematical knowledge across many areas of

the curriculum, making Kandinsky inspired art work using different 2D shapes and

marble rollercoasters by measuring different heights in centimetres and metres. In Miss

Rachel’s maths group, the children completed a fractions treasure hunt around the

playground, using different strategies to solve the questions. In Miss Megan’s group,

the children have been revising how to use dienes rods and partitioning to help them

add and subtract 2-digit numbers.

In D.T. this week, the children have continued their fair trade chocolate bar wrapper

designs. The children first researched designs, thinking about why they appeal to a

consumer. We decided that great wrappers use bold, bright writing and often include

images of the ingredients or exciting pictures. We used these ideas to design a wrapper

for a brand new chocolate bar.

As part of Maths Week, the children are being encouraged to complete a maths based

activity at home. They should take part in a cooking or baking activity, using their

measuring skills to weigh ingredients and time the length of cooking needed. Please

remember to post photographs of their efforts on to the Padlet wall

https://padlet.com/year2anfield/mathsweek, password – maths. Thank you to

everyone who has participated so far – the dumplings, sandwiches, omelettes and

cakes all look amazing!

Have a lovely weekend.

YEAR 3 – Miss Rachel, Miss Lisa

Maths Week has been a great success. Thank you for helping to create your children’s

wonderful and jazzy maths hats! We had a different subject focus each day, e.g., our

art lesson covered tessellation, geography covered turns in angles and directional

language, and a problem solving lesson involved puzzles with lollypop sticks. We

have noticed an increase in the use of Mathletics this week, keeping a record and

checking daily to see who the keen participators are. The winners will be announced

on Monday. Please continue to encourage your children to use this valuable tool.

On Wednesday morning, we had our science trip to the theatre, where we met Dr.

Bunhead, a barmy, yet captivating, scientist. He amazed us with his deflagration and

detonation gas experiments with balloons and fire. The children learnt the three

elements needed to make a fire, how to make a hypothesis and the basics of gravity.

There were many experiments involving liquid nitrogen which we all found

fascinating. Ask your child what happens to a balloon when it is put in liquid nitrogen

and see if they can remember the answer. We will follow up this trip with a class quiz

and an experiment involving a nappy!

In English, we have continued our animal research and used the 5W’s (who, what,

where, when and why) to write a lead paragraph. The children have revisited

alliteration and also looked at puns. They tried hard to use these features to write a

catchy newspaper headline in under seven words. The next stage will be to plan what

we intend to include in a full article and then write it up into informative paragraphs.

Looking at different visuals of interactive maps has been the focus for computing this

term, with the children familiarising themselves with the oceans and continents,

navigating from one country to another. We have also looked at keys and symbols on

maps. There are some fantastic resources on the National Geographic website if your

child wants to continue digital mapping at home.

Next Friday will be International Food Day. We have started to decorate our table

banner for our chosen food dish and make posters for the ingredients included. The

children have been asked to dress in their country’s flag colours, if possible.

YEAR 4 – Miss Jackie, Miss Marie

We have been busy bees in Year 4 this week, an enjoyable and productive week all

round!

In English, we have been further exploring persuasive texts. We read a ‘pretend’

persuasive letter from Principal Vicky proposing that we ban playtimes at school. The

children felt very strongly about this argument and responded appropriately. They

have a sound understanding of how to argue their point and to support this with facts

and examples. They were able to use emotive language to support their viewpoint

and have a better understand of how to use openers to add fluency to their writing.

We are sure that we will not be banning playtimes at Anfield!

In Maths Week, the children have thoroughly enjoyed engaging in many exciting

lessons which have incorporated different areas of their learning including art,

geography and English. It has been a productive week with the children applying and

using their maths skills in various ways. Many children have commented on how they

never realised how their maths can help them with other subjects and so this has

reinforced how these skills are invaluable in everyday life. Many thanks for the huge

effort with our homework task posted on padlet - the teachers have been very

impressed with the array of toys available to buy on a budget! We will be busy

restocking our ‘Golden Time’ boxes with some of the ideas that have been posted.

On Wednesday, we visited the theatre to view a spectacular show called ‘Mr.

Bunhead’s Blastoff’. This show incorporated many different elements of science

learning whilst taking a trip to space! Teachers and children alike were on the edge of

their seats watching the various experiments that were demonstrated throughout the

day. There were many bangs and booms, along with a lot of laughter and enjoyment!

A fantastic week Year 4, have a brilliant weekend.

YEAR 5 – Miss Bethany, Miss Joanne

In English this week, the children have been studying ‘Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and

the Wardrobe’. During this time, they have become very familiar with the characters

and the setting. We wanted the children to not only demonstrate their knowledge of

the book, but to also further develop their skills in writing. Many of them are now

able to punctuate speech accurately and improve the language they are using within

their work. This week’s challenge was to include an embedded clause within direct

speech. As always, the children rose to the challenge and were able to meet the

learning objectives successfully.

As you know, this has been ‘Maths Week’ and we have been blown away by the great

response from the children on our padlet page. We feel this has given them a good

opportunity to understand how maths is important in our day-to-day lives. The

children also applied their mathematical knowledge and skills to many other areas

across the curriculum.

On Wednesday, we visited the theatre to see ‘Dr. Bunhead’s Blast Off’. The children

thoroughly enjoyed an exhilarating show which included lots of explosions and

scientific facts. As always, they were beautifully behaved.

In science, the children have impressed us with their skills in scientific enquiry. We took

a more child-led approach to experiments, to test their knowledge and understanding

of the process. The children demonstrated good ability to apply their previous

knowledge and experiences to various questions and scenarios. They were confident

in ensuring their tests were fair and that their questions were suitable - a brilliant effort!

YEAR 6 – Miss Anna

It has been another excellent week in Austria class.

In English, the children have been developing their research and note-taking skills

whilst researching information about volcanoes. They then used their research to

write an information text about different aspects of volcanoes, remembering to

include the key features of this genre of writing. The children tried hard to think about

the audience for their text and to make their writing interesting and engaging.

In maths, we have continued to revise some of the key topics we have covered in Year

6. This week, we consolidated our understanding of how to calculate the area and

perimeter of a range of regular and irregular shapes. We also revisited how to

interpret information from graphs and pie charts as well as continuing to develop our

problem-solving skills. As it is Maths Week, the children were also set a series of tasks

to complete on Mathletics, with each child trying hard to reach a high overall score.

This week in science, we learnt about variation and adaptation of plants and animals

to their surroundings. The children worked in small groups to look at a species of

animal, such as bears, and then research different types of bears, finding out how each

type has adapted to the environment it lives in. This is a challenging unit of learning,

containing complex ideas and scientific vocabulary and I am impressed by the positive

manner in which the children are responding to their learning.

On Thursday, we had a trip to the theatre to watch ‘Dr. Bunhead’s Blast Off!’ Dr.

Bunhead took the audience on an exciting journey through the development of the

science that has enabled us to send astronauts into space. His show was funny and

engaging, with lots of fascinating scientific information and loud bangs! The children in

Austria class participated enthusiastically in the show and behaved wonderfully. They

were a credit to our school and I was very proud of them.

Well done for another fabulous week, Year 6. Have a fun and restful weekend.

ST. BOSCO CENTRE – Miss Emma, Miss Vicky

This week has been Maths Week in the St. Bosco Centre. We have enjoyed a range of

cross curricular maths lessons which have shown us that maths is all around us.

As part of design technology, we had to design, make and evaluate a marble run. In

groups, we were set the challenge of creating a marble rollercoaster to a specific design.

It had to be 1M tall with drops of no more than 5cm. We created it in groups and

competed against each other to see who had the most successful design.

In art, we looked at the work of Kandinsky and discussed his use of shape. As a class,

we created a collaborative piece of art work whilst listening to music and describing

2D shapes. The final pieces were very interesting and incorporated a range of shapes

and colours.

In computing, we looked at algorithms. Together, we created instructions or an

algorithm for our friends to create a stacking tower of cups. As teams we used

directional language and clear concise steps.

During science, we practised measuring and counting the number of paper clips we

could collect using magnets. As part of this we used and read scales for weight.

Finally in geography, we learnt about positional language. Using maps, we directed

the pirate ship to the buried treasure.

In English, we created an imaginative sandwich influenced by the story, “Sam’s

Sandwich”. As part of our big write, we wrote instructions using alliterative adjectives

to explain how to create our sandwich.

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss Emma and Miss Vicky B

PHYSICAL EDUCATION – Mr. Calum

We have been doing some mathematics during our P.E. lessons for Maths Week. The

children have been able to learn where, and how, maths is important in P.E, fitness

and sport. I have been really impressed with how the children were able to use their

maths skills in a different environment and could clearly discuss how maths can be

applied in P.E. lessons.

Year 1

Year 1 children were using their maths skills to count the number of exercises their

partner could do in a minute. This required the children to challenge themselves

physically by working as fast as they could at the exercise, and mentally by counting

quickly.

Year 2

This week in P.E., the children were also counting how many of certain exercises they

could do in a minute. They used tally charts to help them count and were able to add

scores together to get group totals.

Year 3

Year 3 children were practising their dodgeball skills in preparation for an upcoming

tournament. I was really impressed with the dedication the children showed in

learning new rules and tactics. Well done, Year 3.

Year 4

This week, the children were counting the number of exercises they could do in a set

time. They then compared the numbers that they achieved for each exercise and

thought about why they could complete more of some, than others. The children also

discussed how the number of exercises that they completed in a minute related to how

they felt afterwards.

Year 5

Year 5 children were comparing exercises and the effects on the body, also measuring

their pulse. They took their pulse after each exercise for 15 or 30 seconds, and then

used multiplication to find how many beats per minute. The children also compared

their heart rates with the number of completed repetitions and type of exercise. I was

really impressed with some of the in-depth questions that the children were able to

ask.

Year 6

This week, the children were challenged both mentally and physically in their P.E.

lesson. Their task was to calculate what percentage of their maximum heart rate they

reached after each bout of exercise. I was pleased with the children’s reasoning and

calculation skills, as well as their determination to reach a high heart rate through

vigorous exercise.

MUSIC – Miss Sharon

In musical assembly this week, we were given the opportunity to teach each other

about music from our different class countries. Some of us presented our posters to the

rest of the school to show the children different instruments and musical genres from

these countries. We also had time to rehearse our songs that we will sing in church for

our End of Year Mass.

This week in our music lessons, we were able to compare and contrast music from

around the world. All of us finished our posters detailing musical styles and

instrumentation from our particular class country.

Some of us teamed up with other classes to make a comparison and look at the

similarities and differences between music in these countries.

We also found out that the instruments we discovered when doing our research were

influenced by where in the world our class country was.

Comparing and contrasting two pieces of music from different time periods was also a

focus for all. We had to think about musical elements and contrasts to help us work

out where they belonged in our time line.

Musical quote of the week:

A melodic week of music- stay in tune, Anfield!

SPANISH – Miss Marta

In Spanish during this week, we talked about the Mother’s Day and the traditions

present in different countries. We enjoyed decorating cards for our mothers and

writing in Spanish for this special day. Spanish pets will continue changing homes.

Have a good weekend.

Ms. Marta
