Happy Thursday to all our families!

It has been wonderful to see the students within their stable groups spending more time outside with the cooler weather. At this point in the year, all our grade levels are digging into some of the more complex learning outcomes for the semester.

This year we have extended the arrival time to start from 7:45. If students reach the gate at 8:15 they are considered to be late for school. It is extremely important that children start the day in an organized way. Having a nutritious breakfast and arriving on time is the best way to set your child up for a successful day. Late students are asked to enter through Gate 4 to be marked present.

You should have received your child's MAP assessment results last Thursday. As a whole Primary school, we have been pleased with the results and see an upward growth trend for our students.

Congratulations to our 2 Grade 4 students, who both finished within the top 3 in their age category in the DASSA 1km virtual race. Over 750 students entered the virtual competition, so this is an amazing achievement! Both students have been invited to a special training session with Olympian Charlie Grice. Here is Zakaria and Alisa being presented with their DASSA certificate.

A new addition to our curriculum this year has been Remote Learning. It is comprised of Synchronous (live) and Asynchronous (not live) learning engagements across all areas of the PYP. In each grade level, a Remote Learning teacher supports students in their daily learning tasks and provides ongoing feedback for learning to facilitate progress.

Grade 2 Remote Learners learning about chemical changes on Zoom was REALLY fun! They even conducted their own experiments at home while their classmates on campus did the same experiment.
KG2 Remote Learners practiced speaking confidently and describing objects to others. They discussed how to be good listeners and ask questions to show interest and learn more.
Grade 3 Remote Learners connected with their on campus peers to read a mystery short story during a read-aloud. They collaborated using Padlet to visualize main characters and share their thinking.
