Pun intended! Miss Debra and her grade 2 class gave a wonderful presentation on supply and demand today, presenting their lines of inquiry to the school and explaining, through song, the impact of when supply increases or falls. Very impressive for grade 2 kids. Good job! Please go to their blog to read more about it. 

In relation to economy and consumption Miss Debra also pulled in the area of environment and waste. She showed the students some powerful videos, which I encourage everyone to watch and consider. It certainly made me think of my lifestyle and how I view recycling.  We didn't have time to watch the video in it's entirety, but I encourage families to do so when they get a chance. 

Photo Competition Winners 

It was a difficult decision to reach, with 20 students submitting up to 6 photos each. To evaluate the winners for this photo competition we looked at both the style of the picture taken, combined with the IB attitude chosen. There were three category winners: grade 1 and 2, grades 3 and 4, grades 5 and 6
