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.
