News Week of 12th September

PYP 8 News

Week of 12th September 2016


Dear Parents,

We are coming towards the end of our first unit of inquiry.  Next week children will apply their understanding through promise sheets and thinking about a future job/role that they would like to do.

We ask you to continue working with your children on the following areas.
  1. A home schedule so children know exactly what they have to do each day both as a family and for school.
  2. Reading journals need to have four entries each work and should be included within the 20 minutes daily reading.  These journals are for children to reflect on their reading and only need to be 5 minute activities.  By thinking about what they have read, they will continue to build on their reading skills as they branch out as responsible free readers!
  3. Look at Google Classroom with your child and ask them to show you the different assignments, announcements etc., that they have been using.
  4. Ask your child to show you their google drive and the work they have doing here.  Is it organised???


Our work in Class…

Exhibition on Friday afternoon…..
Working as a whole year group to share passions and decide how many different Global Issues the passions link to.
Firstly we looked at passions (individually and as a class) and investigated many Global Issues.  We listed these on A4 sheets.  These sheets were taken to the covered court where we worked as a year group, sharing passions and issues.
We came back to class and reflected on how we had worked.  Ask your child to show you their work in their Passion Journals on Google Drive!
