AIS celebrated World Book Day with lots of engaging activities and costumes. Many children (and adults!) came to school dressed as their favourite book character. We had some very creative and interesting characters in the classrooms. The students were able to see each other during our Zoom assembly. 

The theme of the day was “sharing stories”. The students spent the morning sharing stories that they wrote themselves inspired by some of our favourite children’s authors. It was a great day!

This week the Grade 5 students were happy to announce the completion of their PYP Exhibition. It's been a long process for all involved, and the students have really given their all.

This week we celebrated Earth Day at AIS. Miss Anja introduced Earth Day to the school community during a zoom assembly. This was a day for all of us to act as global citizens and to raise awareness about the importance of actively protecting the environment and the  world we live in. By the end of the day each class came up with a plan for a measurable action to reduce plastic waste. Some ideas included plastic-free lunches, a clean-up day in our community, or creating posters to raise awareness. 

To celebrate Earth Day in Grade 1 we discussed the commitments and actions we would make to take care of our planet, see above. 

Thank you AIS community for your support during these weeks, it has been sincerely appreciated. This is just a polite reminder that if your child is showing symptoms relating to Covid please do not send them to school. Please arrange to have a test and keep the child at home until they receive a negative test result. If you (the parent) are also showing symptoms then also make sure that your child/children remain at home until you have received a negative test result. Siblings must also remain at home if someone in your household is in quarantine. Thank you for your continued support. Remember, it gets better! 

Miss Helene and Mr Simon will be running a Zoom information session on MOT. The session will begin at 15:30 on Thursday April 15th and will run for 30 minutes. This has only been offered to parents who have children from G7-10. To access the meeting please use the link below and the teacher running the session will admit you into the meeting once it begins.

SFO is very excited to start a new garden project. Last week, children in SFO planted kale, radish, lettuce, spring onion, sweet peas and bee-friendly flower seeds. In about 6-7 weeks when the seedlings are ready, we will transplant them outside. We are planning to start small first and develop gradually.

The garden will provide a hands-on outdoor learning environment with the focus on learning about balanced diets and nutrition, healthy food choices and sustainability, but also a supportive environment in which children can learn about patience and responsibility by taking care of plants.

As part of the research for Grade 5's Exhibition, both classes are launching this year's surveys tonight. The surveys are a central plank of the Exhbition, allowing the students to get a snapshot of people's current actions, attitudes and behaviours. We would be really grateful if you could fill out one (or both) of the surveys. They should take no more than 10 minutes of your time. The surveys are open to everyone, so please feel free to share them with your own family and friends. The more data the better!
