WORLD SCHOLAR'S CUP
Jakarta Round 2022 - Skittles Category

Written by Mr. Jay

On Saturday, August 27th, SWA hosted numerous schools for a day of team competition. Cancelled last year due to the pandemic, the World Scholar's Cup or WSC came back this year in full force. The WSC is a yearly competition in which students from various schools in Indonesia send a team or teams to participate, compete and enjoy a full day of challenging events. This year, the competition focused on 4 distinct challenges: The Scholar's Bowl; Collaborative writing, Team debate and the Scholar's Challenge. The competitions covered 6 main categories: Science and Technology, Social Studies, History, Art and Music, Literature and Media, and a Special Area.

Despite only having less than two weeks to prepare for this competition, the Grade 5 SWA team proved to be more than up for the battles. The SWA team comprised of: Darrell, Aradhya, and Yusra. They did amazingly well as a team, and also, individually, against stiff competition from teams from JIS, Global Jaya, MIS and a total of 50 participating schools. It was a full, grueling day, that needed them to display their knowledge, stamina, and good teamwork. What a fun and exciting time for everyone! And due to placing so well, they will now be part of the Regional division, later this year! Let's all congratulate them and wish them luck for the next round! We all are so proud of you all! Go SWA!

作文是人们以书面形式表情达意的言语活动。借助作文不但可以提高我们的语言组织能力，还可以培养我们的观察力、联想力、想象力、思考力和记忆力。只要大胆地拿起笔，将多彩的生活及丰富的感受写在纸上，相信我们一定会收益颇多。

Composition is a speech activity in which people express their ideas in written form. With the help of composition, we can not only improve our language organisation ability, but also cultivate our observation, association, imagination, thinking and memory. As long as we boldly take up the pen and write down our colorful life and rich feelings on paper, believe we will certainly gain a lot.

"ACCEPT AND LET GO"
Written by Ms. Lindi

Becoming a parent is a blessing, but at the same time is also a lifetime challenge. We cannot avoid anger, sadness, and disappointment when dealing with our children, and those emotions can influence how our children feel. We always set expectations for ourselves in raising our children. We always want to provide the best as well as to avoid damage as much as possible. When things happen out of our expectations, we will feel threatened and those emotions naturally happen. Transitioning back to school from 2 years of online to completely offline learning can be overwhelming for the parents. This 1 month of school might be the most challenging time for us. We used to monitor them very close at home, but now we need to release them and share them with the school to take control of their learning. Without acceptance of the current situation, we will struggle to feel worried most of the time.
