Chinese New Year at AIS

This week at AIS we celebrated Chinese New Year! We started with a cultural assembly led by the MYP students where the whole school was present. All MYP students had spent lots of days working on their performances. They decided their class performance, created their dance and wrote together their rap song or script. They really took ownership of this celebration and Miss Zhe was very proud of their hard work. After the assembly, the MYP students went into the PYP classrooms to teach the PYP students some enjoyable and educational activities related to the Chinese New Year. Excellent work, MYP!

We were very fortunate to have the First Secretary of the Chinese Embassy celebrating this event with us. Mr. Chang was impressed with the students’ performance and felt very happy to be a part of this celebration. We thank him for joining us and for his encouraging speech, see image above.

AIS helps Australia!

Lina took action at home by designing a really informative poster on the bushfires in Australia. She presented it to Mr. Andrew on the day of "Plank for Australia" fundraising activity. Well done Lina!

All students were asked to help with donating money towards Australia in regards to the bush fires. The money will go towards the rural fire brigades and for emergency relief to the animals. 

The target of 5000 Kr was passed which means that Mr. Andrew will shave his beard and Mr. Brent has also volunteered to wear something ridiculous for the day. 

The school came together for a whole school plank to show our support. It started in the library with Grade 1 and moved all the way around the school in a continuous line.

What makes our school so amazing is that we really do look outside our own lives and are aware of what is happening in the world around us.

Celebration boxes

Grade 1 presented their Celebration boxes! We had a great time sharing our knowledge about our chosen celebrations. The children paid extra attention to their body language and voice volume and clarity. Well done, Grade 1! See image above. 

Grade 8 hosted Drengsrud Arbeidssenter as part of their unit creating modified games. There were lots of happy faces and great games for the workers. A very big well done to Grade 8.

In 3B we carried out an investigation about 3D shapes. We used nets to construct shapes and then we identified how many faces, edges and vertices they had. We also played a yes/no answer game where we had to guess which shape the other person was thinking of.

Grade 4 at LEGO competition

Grade 4 took part in the first ever Lego League Junior competition at the Oslo University Technology building. The students had to create a building that was still under construction and they needed to think about how it can be wheelchair accessible as well as environmentally friendly. Great effort by ‘The Royals!’, see image above.

Grade 1 welcomed Mythreyee, one of our parents, as a guest speaker. Mythreyee spoke about Diwali, one of the celebrations Grade 1 is learning about as part of our Celebrations Unit! 

As part of the first ever AIS Dyslexia Awareness Week we hosted a workshop for local schools. It was wonderful to see teachers wanting to do better for their students with dyslexia. A big thank you to all the parents who attended the session on how to support students with dyslexia at home.
