Weekly letter

As we mentioned in our last newsletter, this week we have been working on letter writing. The students having learnt the skills during our language arts lessons, we thought it a good idea to use the skills learnt to link this with our unit of Inquiry. We asked them to list down the expectations at home and share them with each other in letter form, and from the feedback we have been receiving from the students it seems that the assignment is both challenging and interesting. This is an indication that the students are exercising their thinking skills.

Next week in POI we will be making connections between beliefs and values. With that in mind you will find students asking you what your beliefs are as a family (We would be delighted if we got volunteers to come speak to the students about beliefs) If you happen to be interested email us the day and time you are likely to be available)

Math – We will continue working on problem solving skills putting emphasis on Reflection as a key concept.

Language arts- On Monday we are expecting to already have received all the letters the students were writing for their homework.

We will be spending sometime reviewing those letters and reflecting on what we could improve in future. We will be checking whether the students used correct grammar, correct letter formation, neatness and friendly letter format. Also next week is our healthy week’ and we would like volunteers to come with us to the Jog walk on 

Tuesday the 11^th of September.

The students will be bringing home a healthy diary which they will use to see whether they are still upholding their health habits.

PYP 4 will start the run at 9:30.
