This week we held the Student-Led conferences at the PYP. It is so rewarding to watch students demonstrate agency by enjoying the learning with their parents. All of the activities really captured the excitement and importance of the learning that is carried out while we really saw students be confident and aware of what to do.

At the start of Unit 4, the Grade 4 students were given agency and had a chance to choose from a number of revolutionaries. They knew they were going to be doing the Living Wax Museum as a summative assessment task. They knew they had to research their chosen revolutionary using reliable sources and cross-referencing their information. They also had to prepare a costume. 

The Living Wax Museum gave the students an opportunity to showcase the information they researched and to impart that information to the AIS community. They stood still, they had a button on their clothing and when the button was pressed, they came to life, became their respective characters and delivered their autobiography.  

It was an amazing event and we are extremely proud of them.

At AIS we celebrated World Book Day in the PYP with an activity-filled day where the students and teachers dressed up as their favourite characters. The Grade 5 students prepared book-themed activities for the other grades which included writing and reading stories. Then, the teachers had a relay in which they swapped classes to read some exciting stories.

We had a wonderful celebration of the Chinese New Year at AIS this week. Undoubtedly, the highlight of our Chinese New Year celebration was the assembly. Grade 8b’s Chinese New Year song of Gong Xi Gong Xi and Lion dance opened the Chinese New Year celebration followed by Grade 9a’s fun-filled puppet show for the story of The Great Race. The assembly ended with Grade 6b’s fabulous traditional Kung Fu Fan dance. Their performances involved writing scripts, dancing, singing, presenting and acting. The MYP students demonstrated their collaboration, cooperation and teamwork to make this assembly unique. The PYP students were also actively involved in the cultural activities: New Year Greeting cards, Word search, Chinese New year stories and New Year Kaboot. Throughout the activities, students enhanced their understanding of Chinese culture. The celebration came to an exciting conclusion with tasting Chinese snacks. 

Thank you to our guests Mr. Chang Quansheng and Mr. Li Hui from the Chinese embassy who joined us for our Chinese New Year celebration. Their presence added a special touch to the festivities and made the celebration even more memorable. 

Many thanks to all parents who ensured their children embraced the celebration by wearing the colour red. 

Thank you very much to the students and teachers for their hard work and dedication in making this event culturally beautiful.

Wishing all our families a happy and prosperous year of the Rabbit.

This week we celebrated the 100th day of school at AIS. Grade 2 students held a fashion show where they wore the number 100 in different, creative ways. 

This week in Grade 1 we took a trip to the Teknisk museum. We all had a great time exploring the museum and visiting the planetarium 

To finish the week and celebrate winter, the students in Grade 2, 3 and 4, had a special day filled with winter themed activities. They made bird feeders, had ice experiments, and even got to enjoy warm cacao with a story!
