Week of 5th June, 2017
Dear Parents,
This is the final full week of school and we have a lot of activities planned to go out with a bang. Tomorrow, Tuesday 6th June, is the Fun Afternoon at Jardim Europa from 16:00 to 18:00. Please remember to bring socks for the Meias do Bem drive and whatever item your child signed up to bring (PYP 8 Beta/Sigma: juice; Omega: plates, cups, napkins, plastic cutlery). Friday, 9th June, is Pajama Day where students can come dressed in their favorite sleep wear. There will also be a movie shown in the afternoon, which students will get to vote for the movie they want to watch.
This week PYP 8 will be doing the final round of SATs. Like the previous exams, they will not be used to determine grades, but are used for internal diagnostic purposes. Please ensure students get a good night sleep and a good breakfast. Below is the schedule.
Next week, we will have Festa Junina on Monday at Jd. Europa. Please remember to bring in your authorisations. Tuesday will be the moving up ceremony for PYP 8 at 8:10 in the theatre at Pinheiros. Parents are free to take children home after the ceremony is over. |

Dear Parents,
We survived the Itatiaia trip! It was a great time to get out into nature and enjoy the splendid views (at least when the fog subsided). We were all very proud of students for perserving through the challenges they faced and everyone seemed to learn a lot from the experience.
This week will be the SATS exams. Remember these tests are only used for diagnostic purposes for the school and will in now way affect grades. All students need to do is to be sure to get a good night rest and breakfast to be best prepared to do their best. Here is the schedule:

Week of 10th April, 2017
Dear Parents,
There are many wonderful actions happening all over the school and outside in the wider community. We have children thinking about how to improve recess, encouraging others to eat healthy and think about the impact of their online presence.
Other groups are reaching out into the community to help NGOs and crèches to help other children who are in need improve their lives, even if it's only in a small way. All of our students are learning the importance of giving back to community.
We are also fine-tuning our presentations including a display board and a formal presentation which will be supported by a powerpoint. On top of this students are creating art installations that express their topics in an artistic and emotional way.
The more organized students are this week, the less they will have to do over the holidays, but expect that there will be some work being done over the holiday. This is all part of the personal responsibility we are coming to expect from PYP 8 during the exhibition, to know what they need to do and get it done. We are at least expecting students to work on their reflection draft of the exhibition process over the holiday.
It will all be over soon, we will be celebrating the process and all the hard work we have done. Please help us to encourage your child to push through and finish strong. The exhibition has certainly been a marathon. We can see the finish line fast approaching, but we are not there yet.

Week of 3rd April, 2017
Dear Parents,
The exhibition is fast approaching. It has been calculated that there are only 11 more days in class to complete the exhibition. This is not including weekends, the holiday and April 4th, being Student Led Conference day.
The students are in the middle of completing their actions, working on formal presentations, display boards and then thinking about how they are going to express their project in an artistic way. The pace is picking up and the amount of work as well. If students have been keeping on top of their work, they should have no trouble completing this project on time.
Students have also been splitting their time in class with thinking about what they will present to their parents on the Student Led Conference day. As with the exhibition, it is a conference where they are completely in charge - they will come in, show their parents what they have been doing without any interference from the teacher.
Students will show their parents work from the exhibition, their developing note-taking skills, math, Portuguese and the work they have been doing on their portfolios. We hope that it is a rewarding day for the students and an enlightening day for the parents!

Dear Parents,
The students are in full exhibition mode. With the school play taking the time and energy of almost half of our PYP 8 students, we have all had a good opportunity to think about how to live the Learner Profile attribute of being balanced as students learned what it takes to keep up with all their commitments. The PYP8 teachers have been amazed at how resilient all the drama kids have been! Most have been keeping on top of their work and have still been active members of their exhibition groups. The students in Bugsy Malone did a fantastic job and should be commended on keeping it all together with the requirements of the play and their school work. The play was fantastic and the hard work of both students and teachers was extremely evident.!
At this point in the exhibition, we are moving into a phase where we can see an end in sight. The most important thing for the students now is the action. All the research they have done should be leading them to an issue that matters. Our students must engage in an action where they are making a difference in the community. Having completed action plans, they are now ready to go out into the wider community to make a change.
At the same time as managing the action for the exhibition, students will be completing their essay, creating a formal presentation, a board display and an art piece that represents their thoughts and feelings regarding their issue - so, lots to do.
We will all enjoy our holiday starting as a half day on April 13th.
