The PYP students went to Jezersko on a winter sports day. They enjoyed different activities and had lots of fun.
On the 5th February, we had 2 guest speakers in the second grade. As a part of our unit exploration about expressing feelings and ideas through arts, Mrs and Mr Rhind-Tutt joined us and kindly shared their experiences and knowledge from that field.
During handwriting week the students payed special attention to the Importance of handwriting. They created many handwritten products, showed their neatest notebooks, wrote letters and created Valentine’s cards. What was exceptionally interesting was 7th grader Yuchen’s presentation and collection of Chinese calligraphy works.
Today, 3M were treated to a trip to MOA, The Museum of Architecture and Design. Our hosts first gave us a look at a scale model of the 500 year old home of the museum, and explained its various facets. Then we glimpsed back in time at numerous examples of different elements of design. This all proceeded the workshop, which related how the human body is similar to the design of various structures and bridges, while the students were utilised as pillars and tools of suspension. The pupils then became architects themselves and constructed a suspension bridge and a Roman aquaduct. On reflection, the pupils and teachers were much enlightened and thankful for their journey into architecture and design.
