PYP 8 News

Week of 13th March 2017

Dear Parents, Book week was a success. Students had the opportunity to read with younger students, purchase books and participate in different activities that ranged from Readers Theater to creating their own stories… I hope many of you enjoyed International Day, set up by the high schools to celebrate the diverse community of St. Francis. There were treats and performances from all over the world. Many PYP 8 students and parents were spotted either helping out at booths or participating as a spectator. It is wonderful that we can support the entire community! The business of PYP 8 is not going to stop. We have officially started the exhibition Unit - which means the Exhibition is now 6 weeks away! (well, school weeks, at least - not counting holidays). As students have done the bulk of their research and are now consolidating that information into a research paper - of course students will still do research to continue to add to the essay on an ongoing basis. The main thing we are going to focus on is primary research including collecting data using surveys, interviews and trips. The most exciting and pivotal part of the exhibition is the Action - meaning students use their research to identify a problem and decide how they can have an impact on their community. We are asking parents to be supportive of their student as action will most likely require students to go someplace, and perhaps might have some cost involved. Talk to your child about what their action is - make sure all trips and action plans are approved of by the classroom teacher or exhibition teacher so we can keep track of who is going where and who is doing what. I look forward to seeing you all during the exhibition week to celebrate the learning our students have done. Look forward to receiving an official invitation somewhere closer to the week of May 1st - May 5th!

Upcoming things to remember…. Itaitiaia Parent Meeting has changed and is now 15th March, 8am Pinheiros - Please attend to have all questions answered! This week IB evaluators are going to be in school checking up on the progress of our programs. They will be talking to teachers and students. This Friday PYP 4 and 5 are putting on a bake sale.

Students will also be expected to continue primary and secondary research in support of the work they are doing. Thursday - Due Friday MyImaths - Pie charts

Week of 6th March 2017

Dear Parents, Hope you all had an enjoyable break and Carnival.   This week is the last week of Unit 4 and children are putting together a visual presentation and written piece to show their understanding of the central idea that past civilisations impact upon today’s society. In Maths this week we will work in our own classes on conversion between measurements.  The following two weeks we will be focused on data entry and analysis using pie charts and line graphs.  This will be done in Exhibition groups so as children can apply this to their exhibition where appropriate. After this week, PYP 8 go into top gear as we start our Exhibition unit proper on the 13th March.  Please continue to support your children and communicate with teachers any ideas/trips before going ahead and planning these.  Raise any questions, doubts or issues you or your child have asap with class teachers and they will resolve in school.  Please remember the dates for the final presentation.

Week of 20th February 2017

Dear Parents, We had a busy week last week with the theatre trip, bake sale and photographs.  This week is back to a normal timetable though please remember that Friday the children finish at 12:10. Thank you for all your support and assistance with the Bake Sale items last week.  The event was a great success!

Our work in Class… In our unit of inquiry, children continue to look at civilisations and elements within these to show how causes and changes led to our present civilisation.  The children will continue to work on this, this week, and the week after they return from the Carnival break. Exhibition groups continue to narrow down their research and their hard work is beginning to identify issues within their particular area.  When we return after the break they will begin the next stage of final sorting out their findings.  These will then be used to create a written piece of work.  The 2nd week after returning from Carnival marks the start of Unit 5 which is the Exhibition proper.

Things to remember this week…. Friday is Carnival dress up day - no football shirts Friday we finish at lunchtime and children return on Monday 6th March. This will be our last blog until after carnival - The next blog post will be 6th March.
