World book day

World Book Day Poster - character competition

Asker International School will be celebrating World Book Day on Monday, April 24th, 2017. The theme of this year's celebration is "A love of books is infectious - pass it on".
 
There are few better recommendations for what to read than word of mouth, and the enthusiasm of someone who really loved a book and wants to share it. It is this that we're going to try to harness. 
 
Teachers will be bringing in books that they love and want to share with others, and we will be "selling" them to the children to persuade them to come and hear us read them out loud. As well as this, we want also children to recommend books that they love, especially ones that we don't have in the school library. The aim is to build a shopping list for possible additions to our library.
 
As well as this, there will be the usual "Come as a character from a book" competition. There will be first prizes of 300 NOK giftcards at www.ark.no for the winners, as well as two second prizes of 200 NOK giftcards. We will have two separate competitions and prizes for PYP and MYP students. 
 
The winning entries will: 
  1. bring a copy of the book their character appears in with them
  2. be able to talk about the book and the character
  3. show creativity in their costume
We hope that World Book Day will fun for everyone, as well as being a celebration of reading. If you have any questions, please get in contact with This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
 
Best regards

Staff planning session shows understanding

Staff were busy working on the first principle of assessment for learning (vurdering for læring) “The students understand what they are to learn and what is expected of them.“

It was great to see teachers from grades 1 to 8 collaborating and sharing notes on this topic, discussing the merits of assessment and student involvement in their learning. In Norwegian, for example, they were looking at the importance of 'correct' feedback, because providing negative feedback leads to negative outcomes. 

It was interesting to see the different techniques employed by the different teachers throughout the school. It was also encouraging to see a commonality in their focus and drive on student assessment and feedback.

De unges kommunestyre (DUK)

De unges kommunestyre (DUK)

The students had a really good time yesterday at the DUK. They all took ownership of their tasks today, both preparing the stand, presenting to De unges kommunestyre (DUK), negotiating, and voting. As always, the schools in our zone are Drengsrud, Jansløkka, AIS, and Solvang ungdomsskole.

Our suggestions were not the ones with the most points, but one of them was still elected. Here's how that happened: The suggestion with the most points was Utekino (145 000 NOK), the second was improvement of stairs in Holmen (150 000 NOK). That left 5000 NOK left before reaching the total of 300 000 NOK, and since our suggestion with Leksekafé was the only one that low in price, it was elected.

It goes without saying that our group were thrilled about that, they have worked really hard the past months to come up with and develop their suggestions.

Well done to all the boys and girls for their efforts! And a big thanks to miss Karoline too!

Campfire Success

Mr. Ole Anders organised a lovely outing for the middle years students yesterday. The students were out in the forest engaging in activities that were connected to approaches to learning. 

Students had to work together as a team, to collaborate and to communicate effectively to successfully complete the tasks set for them.

Some students produced a snowman with an uncanny resemblance to a certain political figure.
