Message From the Head of School<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mrs Anne Fowles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a lot of excitement in the air this week as we prepare for (nearly) all of the rest of our students returning to school next week. Our teachers have been busy getting all the classrooms set up again, the cleaners have done a thorough sanitisation and Cezars have been trying out some new recipes.  We are well and truly ready to see more students in the school!  So I hope that they are as excited as we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are also very much looking forward to International Day at the end of next week. Even though it will be virtual, we have something a little special to share which I am sure you will enjoy. We have had a fabulous response from the community and there are lots of fun things to watch or try out ourselves. Please make sure that you have put aside the time on Saturday, March 13 from 10:00 am until 11:50 am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the Elementary School Principal<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Simon Millward<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There has been a flurry of activity this week as we have been preparing for students to return to the IGBIS campus for face to face learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teachers have spent some time in school to work on the physical environment. Even though there has been constant cleaning throughout the MCO distance learning time with regards to soft furnishings, tables, chairs, carpets and floors etc. Sometimes the student displays have needed some tender loving care, or units of inquiry have changed so the stimulating environment also changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There have been a lot of smiling faces and enthusiastic upbeat conversations!    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week also saw the launch of our Grade 5 Exhibition (PYPX). The students found out who their mentors were and made contact. They have also been busy with workshop sessions to help them in the Exhibition process. These workshop sessions gave them the big picture or overview of the whole exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They learned about the role of experts or primary sources of information. They will also have follow up workshops about how to plan for and conduct interviews with experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They also had a workshop on action pathways. We want our students to take positive action as a result of their learning and this session highlighted the many ways that action can take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Not only did the students have a workshop but so too have our mentors. They had a session about the role of mentors so they can support the students as much as possible whilst ensuring that the Exhibition is driven by the students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There will be further updates as the PYP Exhibition continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
