Dear Colleagues,  35 small notebooks are needed for Discover China trip week for students to write field notes and other lesson information. If you have some old notebooks and would like to declutter, I would happily take 35 of them off your hands. Please let me know or I will be ordering some new ones. Thank you.

A fun and exciting Friday afternoon ended with a very tight house race in the MYP Tech Challenge.

The Inter-House Table Tennis competitions will take place next week; Grades 9 – 12 on Tuesday lunchtime and Grades 6 – 8 on Wednesday lunchtime. Each House will need a team of two girls and two boys for each of these days. If you are interested in playing in one of these competitions please see your House captains or House leaders as soon as you can.

Please refer to attached updates on PM2.5 data in Sept.2015.

Thanks/Myra

Have you seen a blue trolley like this one. It has gone missing from Steve B’s old room/Dan S new room over the summer and is needed back in the Science department. Please contact Russel or Dan if you have any information. Thank you.

This Prototype, Student Choice – Student Voice unit runs on the following four dates: October 16, October 28, November 10, November 20

So far, we have five activities offered:

Danny C – Volleyball
Jacqui W – Tai Chi
Sam B – Presentation and self-presentation
Paul U and Martyn N – Circus Skills
Neila S – Mindfulness

With only 5 options, and 47 students, this could make for some larger-than-anticipated groups. Please email me with suggestions if you have an activity you would like to offer. Another two, at least, would offer a wider and more authentic choice.

As a reminder, if you are not an Advisor, the hope was that you would find two courses across the whole Life101 programme to offer. If you are only currently offering only one, could you please see you way to offering a choice activity for Grade 11 in this slot? (If you are an Advisor, you are hopefully offering at least one Life101 course during the academic year – if you see that you are not, please let me know!)

It’s a great opportunity for you to teach / interact with a new grade level if you haven’t had much to do with grade 11 before.

(The Grade 10 Choice Unit runs on the following dates December 14, January 14, January 26, February 22, and currently has five offerings: DannyC- Gardening, AmyK – Garageband, JacquiP – Vegan Cooking, SamB – Improv and  VickiR – Chinese Watercolours. This is a larger year group, and so an even wider range of activities would also be welcome.)

Thank you to those teachers who have already jumped into the breach, as it were!
