Wow and another academic year has past!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see from the selection of photos  it has been a really busy year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are so proud of the Grade 5’s they have faced difficult challenges including remote learning, exhibition and graduation and are still smiling and enjoying their learning. We wish them success next year as they head onto new adventures in the MYP and in some cases in other countries.

We would also like to thank you as parents  for your many gifts and most importantly your support throughout the year this has been much appreciated by us all.

MYP School Council Elections

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The room was tense with anticipation as nine members of Grade 5 presented their speeches asking for a vote to allow them to become the next Grade 6  School council representatives. All of those who volunteered should be congratulated for being risk takers. Well done to Della, Cream, Un, Charlie, BewBew,Arya, Ani and Andrien. After a count and recount we can announce that those students who gained the most votes and who will become the Grade 6 representatives are (drum roll please) Charlie, Ani and Godd. Congratulations to them all.

Grade 5 party

The Grade 5’s had a chill time on Wednesday watching movies and playing games whilst enjoying the ample donations of food. Thank you so much for sending this in.

Unit of inquiry

The identity unit was completed this week with the students reflecting on what they had learnt during the unit and how they could improve their investigation skills in the future.

Literacy

All classes have now completed their magazines and what an interesting read they are please take a look below.

We would remind the students that daily reading during the summer will keep their minds active as well as give them hours of entertainment. Sora will be open to them.

Numeracy

Coordinates were the final area of study this week with the students creating problems for each to solve. We would recommend that the students keep working on their IXL recommended objectives throughout the summer to keep their skills  current.

Dates to remember

  • 8th June –   Grade 5 party
  • 11.30 am, 10th June – Last day of term 3

Unit of inquiry

This week the students have been investigating  personal changes associated with puberty including body shape, body hygiene, hair growth and acne. This investigation will continue into next week when emotional changes will also be inquired into.

MYP Visits

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The students gained a great deal from their visits to the MYP this week provoking more questions which they will investigate. However the overall theme during the feedback sessions seemed to be how kind and helpful the Grade 6 buddies were. We would like to thank them all for this and special thanks go to Mr Tri for organising the days.

A Cappella group performances

We had an amazing treat this morning when two groups from Harvard university visited school and shared their  wonderful singing performances. They were so confident, acting and sometimes dancing through the songs they had chosen. We thank them for including us in their tours.

Company B and The Purple People

Continuing the music theme, Grade 5 band members performed at lunchtime, surprising us all with their brilliant renditions, even after such a short time rehearsing. Well done to all band members and to Mr Chris for organising the event.

Check out the performances here Pumpkin People.      Company B

Grade 5 party

This will take part on Wednesday 8th in the afternoon. Students may bring their own clothes to change into for the afternoon. Please complete this doc if you would like to donate some food for the student’s party.

Lockdown drill

The students undertook a lockdown drill on Monday to make sure that they are aware of the procedures they need to follow in an event of a emergency situation. They mainly acted in a sensible manner and the discussion both before and after the drill helped their understanding of the need for such a drill.

Literacy

The Grade 5 magazines are all in process and will be published next week, look out for these. We hope you enjoy them.

Numeracy

The students will be completing their investigations into 2d and 3d shapes, tessellation and rotational symmetry and ratio and proportion.

Graduation

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was really wonderful to see so many parents attend, in person, the graduation event on Wednesday. We hope that you will agree that the students did a marvelous job. The slideshow featuring the quotations the students chose for themselves appears here and the photo gallery here. It was a lovely surprise for the students for the rest of the PYP to clap their exit from the auditorium it made the event even more special so we thank all of those classes who turned up to do this for them.

 

 

 

 

Unit of inquiry

This week the students have been inquiring into identity and the changes which happen during puberty. Both the Physical and emotional changes of puberty are being investigated featuring the correct names for body parts and their function.

Next week the students will investigate areas of puberty which interest them including the  the emotional changes which the influx of hormones can promote.

If you have any concerns about this area of investigation please do reach out to your child’s teacher or Ms Alex the school counsellor alex.sh@kis.ac.th

MYP Visits

As part of the unit on Change, Identity and Transitions, the students will be visiting the MYP next week to experience life as a Grade 6. They have been given a grade 6 buddy who is aware of the issues which could surround this move, to answer their questions and smooth the experience for them. They will follow the grade 6 timetable for the time period they are in the MYP but will still be able to access their food in the canteen as normal. We really hope that they enjoy this experience and that it answers many of their questions.

House Event

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Grade 5 had a wonderful time completing in the house obstacle course on Friday morning. Triumphant Hanuman spent the rest of the day smiling! The house leaders, Bo, Un, Della, BewBew, RewRew, Vudh, Porche and Pauline  spent the whole morning organising the event for the whole of PYP led by Ms Magda thanks to them all.

Literacy

This week and until the end of the term the focus will be on creating the children’s own magazine.  They will be writing a variety of articles, illustrating their texts, interviewing guest stars and  taking on different roles in order to publish their own magazine. This will be published and made available for the community to read towards the end of term.

Numeracy

The students will be continuing their investigation into shapes  and symmetry both reflective and rotational and tessellation. They will also begin to investigate coordinates and scale.

The students have been working hard to create a graduation celebration, to take place on Wednesday 25th at 8.30 in the morning. Please see the invitations below.

G5A Invitation

G5B Invitation

G5C Invitation

Please make sure that you have submitted your atk tests on Sunday. We will be allowing the audience into the auditorium from 8.15 as we aim to start promptly at 8.30. We would love to see you all there.

Parent conferences

It was so lovely to welcome parents into the classroom on Monday to talk with your child about their progress so far and the goals they have for the future. We hope this was as rewarding for you as it was for us. Please ask your children to show you any of the prepared pieces of learning that they did not have time to share in the meeting to continue the conversation.

Body Safety Workshop- boys

 

 

 

 

Last week the girls had their workshop with Ms Alex this week it was the turn of the boys. Please see Ms Alex’s message below.

It is important for children to know what it means to keep their body safe, especially their private parts. During the Body Safety Workshops, Ms. Alex talks to students about the names they have for their private parts, how to keep them safe, and what to do if they feel unsafe. This is all done using age appropriate language, and the students are encouraged to practice non-verbal and verbal communication strategies to establish safe boundaries for their own bodies. They learn to find pride and power in using their voice to stand up for themselves and others, and are reminded of the support resources that are available to them at all times. By the end of the workshop, students often express a sense of personal strength and agency. It is very possible that this workshop will spark your child’s curiosity about their own body, and the bodies of others. It is not unusual for your child to come home and ask you questions about their bodies, the differences between boys and girls, and what this all means. Please do take the time to talk to your child about body safety and any other related topics they might bring up. It is always best to answer their questions honestly as this will prevent confusion and misunderstandings. It will also ensure an open line of communication, and your child will be more likely to come to you if they ever feel unsafe. If you are not sure how to answer a particular question, you might say “I am not sure how to answer that question right now, can I give you the answer tomorrow?” You are then more than welcome to reach out to me for advice on how to move forward.  

Warm regards,

Ms. Alex  

alex.sh@kis.ac.th

Unit of inquiry

This week we have been looking at identity online, how to keep safe, how to be aware of clickbait and gender stereotyping and cyberbullying to ensure that the identity which is being portrayed to the world is the one we want it to be.

Next week the students will inquire in-depth into identity and the changes which happen during puberty. Both the Physical and emotional changes of puberty will be investigated, this will feature the correct names for body parts and their function and will also focus on the emotional changes which the influx of hormones can promote. If you have any concerns about this please do reach out to your child’s teacher.

Literacy

As we finish our mini unit on poetry the students are becoming more aware of the techniques associated with performing these to an audience, including changing the pace, volume and tone of voices and keeping good eye contact with the audience.

Next week we will return to our investigation into magazines. The students will be taking on different roles in order to publish their own magazine.

Numeracy

The students will be continuing their investigation into shapes both 2d and 3d and also inquiring into symmetry both reflective and rotational and tessellation.

Unit of inquiry

This week the students have been investigating healthy living, inquiring into the (energy) food we eat and also the activities (energy expenditure) we do on a daily basis. They will apply this knowledge to creating their own healthy eating and exercise plan. Next week the students will inquire  into online identities, thinking about how they are perceived and also about to keep safe.

Literacy

Performance poetry has been this week’s focus both writing it and learning the techniques to recite poems in an entertaining way. This will continue next week when the students will be reciting their own poems.

Numeracy

Accuracy has been the watch word for this week’s investigation into how to identify, measure and create angles. Understanding the concept of angles has enabled the students to calculate angles on a line, at a point and within 2d shapes. next week the students will increase their understanding of the properties of 2d and 3d shapes.

Graduation

We have been very lucky to be given permission to hold a graduation celebration in the auditorium this year, the first time for three years, to which we can invite parents. This will take place on the morning of 25th May at 8.30. All parents will need to have submitted a negative ATK test and follow the mask wearing and social distancing protocols. This will be a lovely way to send the students on their way to the MYP and we look forward to seeing you all there.

Some members of Grade 5 took part in the parent workshop on Friday morning to share the action they had taken during the exhibition. Ms Tania described them as knowledgeable, confident, supportive and said that they truly reflected what it means to be a PYP Learner and leader. Well done to them all.

Literacy 

This week the students have started to investigate the differing structure of poems. Writing their own acrostic poems, rhyming couplets, tercet poems and Cinquains.

The students of Grade 5 did an outstanding job sharing their learning with the KIS community including parents, all ages of  students from the early years to  Grade 10 students and to KIS staff. The resounding comment from all was what a lot of deep knowledge the students had and how confident they were in sharing this.

If you could not join us for the learning celebration or wish to review,  the  Programme and the link to the students website and films are included here.

Next week the students will continue the very important task of reflecting on the PYPx experience and creating goals for the future.

Book week dress up day 

As you can see the students came dressed in a variety of costumes. They enjoyed being able to take part in this part of the week.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Literacy

As part of book week or book fortnite for Grade 5  the students will be creating stories and publishing these to be put into the library so that other year groups can read these.

Numeracy

Next week the students will be finishing off their learning on graphs and data handling before they return to Fractions, decimals and percentages after the break.

Book returns

As we will hopefully continue to be on campus for the foreseeable future we are requesting that all books especially library books be returned to school so that these can be used with other students.

The school council members and House leaders have been busy again this week. Please read their newsletter pyp website.
