This week we have been thinking about strategies that help us balance our moods.

ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN IN ANKARA

Ms Vincent wishes to compile a folder of information regarding out of school clubs and activities available in Ankara for BESG children. If you know about or have any information about clubs and activities suitable for children at the BESG please do pass this on to Miss. Vincent via BESG.

USED BOOKS, CDs & DVDs

The FPTA Summer Fair is fast approaching and you will receive more information about all the fun and activities nearer the time.

Mrs. Weisser would like to request any donations of used CDs, DVDs and books for both adults and children in any language that can be sold at the Summer Fair. Please send your donations in to the school library. Thank you.

HOME TIME CHANGING

Please do remember to let the school office know by 2.30pm if your child’s going home arrangements change.

This is particularly important if your child usually attends a private club after school, as teachers can be unaware of club cancellations.

FOOTBALL MATCH WITH METU

This week we will see the year 3-4 football team playing at METU school. The team have been eagerly discussing tactics and in what positions they will be playing. It will be great to meet up with children from another school and we look forward to inviting them back in June. The team playing will be: Sinan, Matthew, Berke, Helena, Sebastian, Dominic, Alistair, Yasemin, Bora and Yamaç.

SHINING STARS

Each week the teachers choose children for special recognition. Their pictures are displayed in school on our shining stars display board. Here are this week’s Shining Stars:

Congratulations!
