Elementary School News
The week opened with a ‘Squat’! Monday 19 November is International Toilet Day, which focuses on those members of our planet who do not have adequate sanitation systems. Students from K1 - 5 participated in a challenge to see who could squat the longest and each student donated $1 to our Clear Water sanitation project that the Grade 5s will be participating in when they go to Bintan for their camp. Thank you parents, for sending in the money with your students. On Thursday the Grade 4s created their own rockets and investigated how they would ‘take off’. They certainly learned a great deal about propulsion! Our Sound Garden is almost finished but we need a few more hanging pots and pans - please leave these at the Office or send them with your child. We hope you have a fantastic weekend Middle School News Against the elements of the North-East monsoon, Middle School is still heartily travelling along. In this period, as end of semester approaches, it is a good time to check in with sons and daughters about how their schooling is going. Many students will have deadlines to meet, projects to complete, and possibly study for upcoming units tests. Juggling many activities, as well as being a teenager, takes a little getting used to. A sympathetic ear, or a well directed question can make all the difference in a Middle Schoolers life. Whilst there is no formal exam week for Grade 6-8, there is still plenty happening. International Day On Friday 7th December we once again celebrate our diversity and the impact we can have on the world through the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). As parents as guardians, you are most welcome to join and be a part of this is fantastic day. Messages will be coming home soon, asking you to support by supplying food that is particular to your culture. More to come. Walking Towards Zero Hunger On Thursday 13th December all G5-G8 will be participate in our Service as Action day. On the day, students will walk 5km in East Coast Parkway in recognition of SDG #2 Zero Hunger; and SDG #6 Clean Water and Sanitation. Once arriving at Angsana Green, students will enjoy Student Council led activities such as Tug-o-War and Dodgeball. Digital Citizenship Today in our Developing Approaches To Learning, we discussed our responsibilities for using technology. Not only in school, but also outside of school. We considered what we want to get out of our phones, tablets, laptops and watches. You, as a parent and or guardian, are encouraged to keep this conversation going. Out of interest sake, ask each student to explain the software ‘Self Control’ and see what they say! ACSIS Football Our intrepid U 14 footballers took on the might of Dover Court International School last Thursday. Coach Orgee, after some tremendous training sessions had the lads 'ticking over'. Out to a 2-0 lead with 20 minutes to play we were looking good. Alas we 'ran out of gas'. Final score 3-3. A solid start to the season. Have a great weekend Michael Comments are closed.
