PYP 8 News

Week of 29th August 2016

Dear Parents, We have now just finished our 3rd full week in class and as the Olympics has finished we find ourselves getting into the swing of routines and hard work.  Please see below our work and reminders for the following week.

Our work in Class… Last week PYP 8 have been working hard looking at factors, multiples and moving forward in their fluency of their Times Tables.  In Language, we continue to build on the work in recounts, building up our ideas of content.  The Unit of inquiry is now fully moving and we continue to find out about individuals in society, their roles, responsibilities and actions.  We move forward to here to start to sort out this information to understand how we, ourselves, play a role in society.  We ended the week in Exhibition by looking at images to start to build our passion journals and find things that we have connections with in the world around us.

Here are a selection of photos that best sum up our busy week.

Things to remember this week…. This week is our goal setting meeting on Friday with you and your children.  All children must attend with parent/s wearing school uniform.  We will have 20 minutes to talk about goals for the coming months at the time you have booked.  Please be punctual and arrive before the meeting starts as we will need to finish at the allotted time  so as all meetings can run to schedule.  If there is need for further discussion, we can make a further meeting at a later date.  Thanks for your understanding here. Peralta paymens have now finished in school and if you haven’t paid then please do so ASAP directly with Peraltas.  Please, if you are unsure regards this then talk to Mr. Caselli, Mrs. Schachter, Mrs. Giannetto or your class teacher.  We hope that every child will be attending. Information went out regards the annual Mexican Exchange Trip where both the visit to Mexico and hosting children from Mexico will take place this Term.  Please attend the meeting at Pinheiros on Monday 5th September, at 8:15am if your child is interested in going or your family is open to hosting a Mexican child when they visit. Children involved in primary play - meeting for parents at Europa Campus on Wednesday 31st August at 8:15am

Thanks from the PYP8 Team

Mr. Benzie, Mr. Peterson, Mr. Hurst, Mrs. Spalla, Mr. Oliveira and Ms. Bianco.

PYP 8 News

Week of 22nd August 2016

Dear Parents, Welcome to our new blog page for this week.  We have had our 2nd full week of study and are starting to get to know each other and begin our routines for the year.  Children should continue to be ready on the appropriate days with finished homework, P.E. kit/instruments in school and following the school’s uniform rules.

Our work in Class… Last week we started to Find Out more about the roles and responsibilities we play in society and the children had an opportunity to put this into action with the Bake Sale where they needed to make and bring in a product for this sale.  As well in class the children organised their roles and the actual Friday Bake Sale itself.  Here are a selection of photos of them in ACTION!!!

Adults and children were both impressed with both the quality of products and the way the children were able to work independently showing many skills, attitudes and attributes to pull off a very successful first Bake Sale of 2016-2017.

Things to remember this week…. Peraltas Payments are due either on 24th or 25th August.  You can do this payment after school directly to Peraltas staff or you can send in the relevant payment/form and we will hand them in on your behalf.  Please only send payments on these two days.   Coffee Morning on Thursday at Pinheiros for Parents - 8.15am

We are starting to get into our working routines as we enter the 2nd full week.  Please remember to work with the children on their home schedule so as they are organised for school.

Reminders

1. Remember to read the diary with your children everyday and initial/sign each day so we see the communication chain is working from home to school.
2. Keep working on assisting children to bring in their devices from home, Tablets (ideally with a connected keyboard), fully charged and with a charger if their battery will not last a day.

This Week

We have the PYP8 Bake sale on Friday and students need to bring in something for this from home.  We have made this the Thursday homework and would like the children to make something at home as part of their Unit of Inquiry (As individuals we play a role in society) - as this will build on their understanding of roles and responsibilities - see homework post.
2. Children are asked to bring in any Olympics related items that they wish to add to a school display.
