Last week, our Kindergarten students captured our large audience with their creative interpretations of the stories, “When Sophie Gets Angry–Really, Really Angry” by Molly Bang and “Where the Wild Things Are” by Maurice Sendak. By integrating art, music and drama, the students brought the stories alive as part of their unit of inquiry, “How we express ourselves”. They also connected to this unit through their French and Spanish lessons and had an opportunity to share the key vocabulary with their families as well. Thank you to everyone who was able to join us today.
Last Friday, our Grade 3 students took to the stage for their performing arts assembly. Connected to their unit of inquiry, “How We Organize Ourselves”, the students used song, instruments and drama to demonstrate the concepts of space, energy, organization, and community. The most impressive part was how they brought the individual parts together to create holistic pieces. Their final piece, which depicted an imaginary city, brought all of their elements together for a spectacular performance. In addition, they had the opportunity to showcase their portraiture in the art gallery after the show. Thank you to all the families who were able to join us.
Last week, our three, four and five year olds dazzled all of our visitors as they shared their creative works completed over the past two months. As part of their “How we express ourselves” unit, the students had multiple pieces to show off that connected to artists and how they communicate ideas. From finished Jackson Pollock pieces to creative pieces produced on the spot, the morning was full of fun, engagement and pride. Thank you to all of the families who were able to attend. Below are a few highlights.
Last school year, our incredible Grade 5 students embarked on an inspiring journey into entrepreneurship as part of their 'How we organize ourselves' unit. Their dedication and hard work paid off, culminating in a heartwarming act of generosity.
Last week, we had the honor of witnessing these amazing students hand over their well-earned donation to Ms. Christina Fazzi from the Twafwana Association. Ms. Fazzi was deeply grateful for their contributions and shared how this donation will directly impact the health of young people in Ndola. Their commitment to giving back and supporting communities showcases the incredible empathy and compassion our students embody. We're immensely proud of their efforts and the positive change they're fostering. Together, we're making a real difference! #KindnessInAction #MakingADifference Thank you to all of the families who were able to join us for the G5 Celebration of Learning. Over the past few weeks, the Grade 5 students have been using their research skills to find out about challenges and opportunities in countries around the world, which they were able to share with their families. They also shared their nonfiction reports about a country they are connected to and then used their technology skills to create technology-based presentations such as iMovie, green screen, and podcasts. There was a lovely buzz of conversation in both classes.
We will be hosting a blood drive here at AISL next week Wednesday, November 22 from 9am - 3pm in the Pavilion. This is a fantastic opportunity for our students who are 16 or older to also participate and help to save lives. In order for students to donate who are 16 or older we need parents/guardians to complete THIS SHORT FORM to provide permission. To date we only have 15 responses from parents. HERE is a great video shared by Nurse Jennifer. You are also welcome to donate your blood as well - the drive will be held in the Pavilion, November 22nd from 9am - 3 pm. If you have any questions, please contact Nurse Jennifer at nurse@aislusaka.org Last week, our G4 students came together, as part of our Celebration of the Arts, for their annual performing arts assembly. As part of their central idea, “values and beliefs influence how we express ourselves”, students used song, theater and dance to express ten values that anchor their work and interactions. It was wonderful to see, not only a stellar performance, but learn about their rich process along the way through each of the art forms. In addition, our art gallery displayed their visual artworks as well connected to the same central idea. Thank you to everyone who was able to attend.
Before we headed into our midterm break, the Grade 2 students welcomed their parents to school for their first Celebration of Learning of the year. As part of their Who We Are unit of inquiry, the students shared their learning about exercise, nutrition, a growth mindset, and other factors which affect our wellbeing. From dancing to headstands to a healthy picnic together, it was a wonderful morning for both the students and families.
