Mindfulness recordings
Here are the two mindfulness recordings I referred to earlier last week. Designed for MYP/DP students, but anybody in the community is welcome to try them out.
Interhouse Music
This year’s interhouse music competition will be in two weeks, which is plenty of time for the houses to practice. Which song? Well, we’ve had rock, country, and jazz, so this time we are going for… (drum roll, please)… RAP! Yes, each house needs to find at least one rapper to help support the song.
Music: Stressed Out, by 21 Pilots
Sheet Music: StudentlargeStorage / Music / Interhouse
If you have any questions, please see Miss Keus or Ms. Heidi in the music area.

PYP Athletics Day – Thank you
Thank you to our PE team for organising a sunny and fun PYP Athletics Day. The students were keen to participate and many were very proud of their accomplishments. Thank you, too, to all the teachers who stepped up and ran events, took times, marshalled, recorded scores and to those who had the near-impossible job of crowd control under the tent. You were fabulous!
The remains of the day can be found across from my office. Send students down to pick up what they left on the field. Thanks!

Hello Grade 6 Students,

Just check-in with your Advisor tomorrow morning, then head to the PAC. After the assembly is over, simply dash over to the track. The first Grade 6 Athletics Day event starts at 9am, so you’ll have plenty of time to get prepared!
Thanks in advance for supporting the Grade 5’s. See in the PAC ASAP tomorrow morning!
