Farewell for Jimin
Hello parents
Very sadly we are losing one of our members of Grade 5S this week. Jimin is moving with her family to South America. Although we have only had 6 weeks of the school year we will all miss her very much as she is a very popular and established member of the elementary school.
In order to send her on her way knowing how much we like and admire her we are going to have a farewell in the last block ( 2:15 to 3:00 ) on this Friday the 21st of September.
If possible can you send along with your child some snack food to share (Healthy options would be great).
Also all the parents are most welcome to join us to have some food and fellowship.
I hope to see you on Friday

Journal Writing
During this unit we have spent time learning about journal writing. Part of the summative assessment for this unit is to write a journal as an immigrant. Here are some samples from the students draft writing that they have been working on.
On the plane I was feeling very tired and I slept very deeply. When I woke up it was time to eat the airplane food which was chicken soup. It was very delicious. I had only just finished eating and we were in Korea. I couldn't believe it. I was very nervous.
Clara.
When my father said that we were going to Korea my sister and I couldn't believe it because it seemed so unreal.
Hidemasa.
In this new country I will be a doctor and cure my mothers illness and I want to be the person who endeavors which is like my father.

Being an ordinary girl that lives in Seoul was a perfectly normal life until..... now!!!

Immigration in Korea
We have spent time this week looking at one of our lines of Inquiry which is 'The impact of immigration on people, communities and immigrants. Robust discussion took place and the students decided to look at areas such as: sport,clothing,religion, housing,businesses,education,ceremonies,food and language. Today we went for a walk downtown Young tong and looked for evidence of immigration influences. We then spent time doing Venn diagrams and sharing our findings.
