See here the most up to date: AISL Sport Calendar Jan-June 2024 GoooooOOOO Leopards Poster by Melisa V - G11 We are bringing back the triathlon!
If you remember, before the COVID-19 pandemic the school used to host a triathlon annually and this year we hope to bring it back. The Triathlon will be a fundraiser for the Zambian Orphans Association (ZOA) and is an event for the AISL community only(students, Teachers and parents). So if you are interested in biking, running and swimming the sign-up form is attached with more information. As participants or supporters, we hope to see you all there! Best wishes, Triathlon Planning Committee Cumulative Assessments will take place for I&S, LL, Maths, LA, Sciences (Monday 22nd to Thursday 25th of April). These tests are simply one way for MYP to align with DP. Practice taking timed assessments in exam conditions will help students in the Diploma programme. Each timed assessment is 60 minutes long and there is no weighting for these assessments. This means the grade a student achieves will be treated as another summative. (It will not count more or less than another summative.) Important - Design, Arts and PHE, are mostly not affected and will have regular classes. Here is the schedule. These are some other ways we have aligned with the Diploma Programme.
1. alignment of content and skills between grades in each subject 2. refashioning the ATL scope and sequence for the skills you see on reports 3. introducing reflection of ATLs from students 4. development of a school wide research scope and sequence 5. encouraging writing by hand, especially note-making and thinking The Grade 6 Individuals and Societies classes have been studying Indigenous Peoples and Minority Groups. In groups of 3 or 4 they were required to research and then create a diorama, 3D museum poster; hanging mobile, or any visual to illustrate how indigenous cultures, identities, philosophies, and ways of life are affected by globalization and modernization. To celebrate their "end product," the two classes presented their findings and products to their parents, peers, and teachers. During this unit, they put their ATL skills of research, collaboration, thinking, and communication to good use! Last week parents attended an MYP interactive session that gave them some idea of the sorts of learning experiences students have in class. Thank you to all those who came and participated. Here are the slides from the session.
Please see the schedule for an overview of the day's events.
Visit the WorldFest 2024 website at https://aislworldfest.my.canva.site/ for all information relating to the day - schedule, instructions for volunteers, entertainment and activities information and a map. Dear Parents,
We have some cases of tummy aches, colds, and sore throats going around. Please keep your child at home when they’re not feeling well to prevent the spread of infection at school. See your doctor to rule out strep throat and let me know the outcome. Antibiotic treatment is recommended for strep throat (streptococcal pharyngitis) to reduce the risk of complications. ATTENDANCE POLICY FOR ILLNESS Parents should check their child’s health and temperature before he or she departs for school each morning. Please do not send your child to school if any of the following symptoms or signs are present in the previous twenty-four hours: ♦Elevated temperature (100.04 degrees Fahrenheit or 37.8 degrees Celsius or greater) or chills ♦Acute cold, sore throat, or persistent cough ♦Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing ♦Vomiting, nausea, or severe abdominal pain ♦Repeated diarrhoea ♦Pus-like discharge from the nose or eyes ♦Red or inflamed eyes/lids ♦Skin rashes such as suspected and untreated impetigo, scabies This week, our G5 students shared their knowledge and understanding about an issue that was personal to them. As part of their PYPX, each student chose one of the UN Sustainable Development goals as an anchor for their PYPX research and learning journey. As part of their ‘How we express ourselves’ unit of inquiry, the students pulled together their messages through a creative art form. From talented painters, sculptors and drawers to actors and writers, our students expressed themselves through visual art, performing arts, technology and/or creative writing. It was wonderful to see them share all of their hard work from the past nine weeks with both our Primary and Secondary students, and the wider community. A very big thank you to our Grade 5 team, all of the mentors, our specialist teachers, and our maintenance teams for making this wonderful experience possible.
