EVENTS - Celebration of Books

!!

We all had chances to think about our

favorite books and how stories can take us to

another place, give us please and help us

learn about something new. The children

dressed up as a favorite character and

thought about the IB learner profile they most

represent: Communicator, Thinker, Caring,

Principled, Risk Taker, Balanced, Inquirer,

Knowledgeable, Open Minded, Reflective.

We talked about why this character had this

kind of Learner Profile. Finally, we followed

the Tiger who came to Tea....and had parade.

Class Activities - Early Years

!Presenting

our very own stories

In the unit on Stories, the

students learned that stories

come in different forms.

They can be found in

books, pictures, songs,

recounts (storytelling),

dance, actions and in

puppets too. For their

summative task for this unit,

the children were asked to

create a story of their own.

They were also asked how

they want to present their

stories. Their choices were

narrowed down into three:

book, puppet show or

storytelling using the

computer and their pictures

(Voicethread).

!Please check out the link below and see

the impressive videos of the students:

Class Activities - Grade 1 & 2 !Field trip to fire station

Grade 1 & 2 students went to the Sumiyoshi Fire Station. It was fun to learn about the different trucks and the reasons

for all of them. We were lucky to see an ambulance get called for an emergency run,

while flashing their lights and sounding the siren.

Our knowledge of ecosystems allows us to aid in their conservation and protection

During our unit about ecosystems the students did a fun activity to learn more about food chains and food webs.

On the playground we started making food chains starting from the sun, then we passed a ball of yarn from the producers like plants to

consumers of these plants and from the herbivores to the carnivores. After we made a lot of these food chains the students realised, that it

actually isn't just chains but that it now looks more like a web!

Then we tried to take out some of the animals and plants in our food web and the students realised how important it is to keep an ecosystem

balanced because everything is connected!
