For most ELL/English B students, their background knowledge is lacking, especially with things that are unique to some/most English speaking cultures. It’s important to directly teach these vocabulary words: Show them videos or pictures of things that are not common in their own language.
Can you believe it has been 2 months since our last MYP/DP Assembly? It’s sure going to be a cracker this week! We have music, videos, speeches…so much to fit in!
If you are presenting an item please, PLEASE, PLEASE keep to your allotted time.
Attached is the new seating plan – sit in your advisories!
It’s the big one. Bigger than advisory snakes and ladders. Bigger than staff vs student Cludo. Bigger even than PYP vs DP Hungry Hippos. Yes, inter-house chess is back!
All players and spectators should make their way to D219 (G9-12) & D220 (G6-8) at the start of lunch. Players – please make sure you have downloaded a chess timer.
