Year 6

Year 6 and Athletic Carnival

By Mayka

Last Friday was one of the exciting days of this term — our School Athletic Carnival! Everyone came dressed in their house colors and cheering loudly. The field was full of laughter and team spirit.

The day started with the high jump, and continued with the long jump, javelin, shot put, and 50-meter sprints. Everyone tried their best, and we were proud to participate even if we didn’t win.

One of the most thrilling moments was the House Relay Final. It was a close race — Garuda House won by just a few steps! The teachers and parents also had a relay race, which made everyone laugh.

At the end of the day, Garuda House was announced as the overall champion! We all cheered for them because they really deserved it. The carnival was so much fun, and we can’t wait to do it again next year!

What we learned:

We learned how to do the proper technique for the activities we did.
We also learned never to give up.

My reflection: Sports help us learn teamwork and fairness, and teach us to keep trying even when things get hard.

Learning Factors and Multiples

By Rayyan and Arjuna

To find factors and multiples using GCF and LCM, first remember that factors are numbers that divide exactly into another number, and multiples are the results when you multiply a number by 1, 2, 3, and so on.

The GCF (Greatest Common Factor) is the most significant number that can divide two or more numbers without leaving a remainder. For example, the GCF of 12 and 18 is six because 6 is the most significant number that divides 12 and 18.

The LCM (Least Common Multiple) is the smallest number both can multiply to reach. For example, the LCM of 4 and 6 is 12 because 12 is the smallest number that both 4 and 6 can make when multiplied by whole numbers.

We use the GCF when we want to simplify fractions or divide things equally, and we use the LCM to find standard times or amounts for two or more numbers.

Our Reflection:

Keep using color and shape to make abstract number relationships visible.

Math thinking becomes visible and unforgettable when we build, draw, and explain the number patterns. Every number has a “story” of factors that make it, and multiples that grow from it. When we explore these relationships visually, we see how multiplication and division connect.

Term 1 Mid Semester Conference

by Sherina

After the October break, on 20-21 October 2025, we had a Student Led Conference and Three Ways Conference. Students and their parents came and met their expat and homeroom teacher. They share what they have been doing in school and how they can improve their learning.

What we did

We explain what we have been doing in school, for example, our projects and assignments.
Teachers explain our grades from the previous IXL diagnostic. They explain how our grade is enough, or if they need help in a section, they can improve.
Students have prepared a paper about their reflection before the break. At the MSC, we explained the paper to our parents.
After the MSC with our parents, we showed our parents our classroom. There, we show the work and assignments at the school that have been displayed, and the workbooks we have written throughout the term.

My Reflection: How do I feel?

As a student who has experienced MSC for many years, I have felt scared to share my grades with my parents. But when I went in, I didn't feel afraid. I explained my paper, and the teachers said what I could improve and what I am good at.

After the MSC, I went to the classroom with my family. I showed my parents what I did in school in the past months. I showed them my displays/project, workbook to my parents, and an online folder with all the documents I did during Term 1.
