What a wonderful evening we had at the opening of the PYPx Expedition that kicked off on Monday night. Learners finally had the opportunity to showcase their journey of the last 6 weeks. The conversations between learners and parents were engaging and exciting.
Tuesday and Wednesday gave the learners the opportunity to share their learning with the wider school and Singapore communities as other classes and International Schools from around Singapore joined us in the D3 Pod. They were both very inspiring but challenging days and the learners maintained their focus extremely well.
A special thank you goes out to all of the staff and parents who helped make our Expedition a success. We can't wait to see how all of the Year 6 students take what they have learnt into the future.
The Year 6 Team
What a wonderful Mini Exhibition we had to showcase our learning about the Earth’s natural cycles. Our learners were so excited to share their knowledge of the seasons and how night and day occur. Thank you for joining us for our last exhibition of the year, we appreciate your support and encouragement to support your child's learning journey with us. It has been a magnificent year.
Last week the children in Year 4 were able to sit down with their profit and loss accounts to review their financial success of their businesses. Whether their enterprise made a profit or not, the learners were able to gain so much from this experience. The day was a massive success and the combined profits were a staggering $2,000! The learners got together to talk about a charity they would like to donate the monies raised. With a number of charities suggested in the conversation, Chora Chori was selected to receive the money raised through the event. This is a terrific result and a most needed amount of money for the communities that this fabulous charity assist. Thank you again for your support with this amazing annual event.

Many thanks to all the learners and all those who have once again supported the Climbathon for Chora Chori. It was fabulous to see all learners from Nursery up to Year 8 involved, supporting each other and working together to complete the route up and down the stairs and corridors of the school. There were so many smiles and even some dancing as the learners passed through the gym to get their next lap marked off!
Learners showed great commitment to completing the Climbathon course. They were motivated by knowing that all funds raised will be going directly to help the children at the Chora Chori refuge near Kathmandu. The immediate need is to develop the facilities at the refuge and also to employ a number of carers in order to help the children to move towards a brighter future.
Please watch this video which gives an introduction and a little more information with an update from the refuge. Yen Chin, a member of the Nexus community recently visited and was able to pass on a some t shirts from Camp Magic as well as some Nexus big-hands!

Last week during the two primary assemblies, we celebrated the end of the CCA season. Ballet, Irish and Hip Hop dancers from Kindergarten to Year 7 showed us what they had been working so hard for in the last 9 weeks. A huge congratulations to all performers who worked so hard and danced so well! A special congratulations also goes out to our 4 Year 6 comperes who did a wonderful job of overcoming their fears and presenting at the assemblies.
