It's been a busy week at Paterson and I'm sure you are all looking forward to the holiday on Monday. The PYP Exhibition displayed some amazing learning this week. All of the students had worked with great commitment to produce some amazing products and engage in some deep and meaningful action.
Middle School students who sat the ISA's received their results this week and the reports are available on ManageBac. Unfortunantly the result of the Grade 3-5 tests have been delayed and are now expected to be with us by the end last week of May. Have a great May Day. Elementary School News Thank you to all those who were able to visit our Exhibition this week. The Grade 5 students were proud to share their learning journey and celebrate the experience with the students, parents, teachers and members of the ISS community. Congratulations to Grade 5 and we wish you well on your camp trip next week! Students in School after Pick Up It is lovely to see parents and students enjoying the facilities at ISS to socialise after the students have been picked up. Please reminder however that parents are responsible for ensuring that students are not interfering with ECA's, meetings or other activities taking place after school and that they return any blue Imagination Playground equipment and balls after use. Talented Teachers Christine Arnold presented a workshop titled, ‘Math Interventions’, at the SENIAS Conference. Alison Camire was featured on an IB PYP Early Years Webinar titled, ‘How does the PYP meet the needs of the Early Years?’ Lichun Rong has written an article “How to use Y-Chart to teach Oral” which will be published in “International Chinese Teaching Cases and Analysis ” published by Peking University press this year on 15 July 2017, Upcoming Events Monday, 1st May - Labour Day (Public Holiday) No school Wednesday-Friday, 3rd-5th May - Grade 4 and Grade 5 Camp Thursday-Friday, 4th-5th May - Grade 3 Camp Wednesday, May 10th - Vesak Day (Public Holiday) No school Middle School News We are truly lucky with the students we have at ISS. This week we had a visit from an international school from Mumbai, India. In the space of one break time, the Indian students related how they already had new friends at ISS and look forward to returning. Wonderful opportunities from both sides and great to see internationalism alive and well. The ‘Into the Woods’ cast and crew ‘trod the boards’ for the first time at the Alliance Francaise theatre on Tuesday. By all accounts rehearsals are gathering pace, costumes are almost ready and the stage is just about set. Have you got your tickets to the show? Plays over Wednesday 31st May to Thursday 1st June. Contact [email protected] for further details about tickets. Grade 8 took the next step on their learning pathway and spent the day at Preston Campus. This was an opportunity to taste what life is going to be like as a Grade 9 student next academic year. Grade 8 have also made some initial subject selections, as they move towards the final stages of the Middle Years Programme. We are coming into our examination period for MS students. It is a time to work with students about creating effective learning environments, that are stress free and healthy. Parents, guardians and teachers all play an important role in supporting our students to make mindful choices. Lastly, one of the events of the social calendar is the MS School Disco. Next Friday 5th May from 5:30pm-7:30pm. Get your dancing shoes on! Have a good long weekend.
