Year 7&8 Weekly Blog
Parent Notice
Dear parents,
Please be informed that the MYP learners are not required to wear their tie as part of their daily uniform if they choose not to. However, if children would like to wear the ties as part of their formal uniform attire they are more than welcomed to. The tie was originally reserved for more formal events such as Teacher's Day, any school ceremonies, student picture day, Student-Led Conferences, etc.
Language & Literature
This week in Language and Literature class the learners have worked on producing a TV script and completing the first summative assessment task on The Diary Of A Young Girl by Anne Frank. For next week the learners will be creating a Google Slide presentation on one TV programme to analyse how TV ratings work for their second summative assessment task. The learners will also take part in a viewing of the 1959 film The Diary of Anne Frank so they can compare and contrast the book from the film.
Individuals & Society
For this week and next week in our Individuals & Society class the learners have worked on creating a presentation to document some of these issues that are taking place in Thailand and will include visuals to show some of the causes and consequences of these environmental issues as part of their summative assessment. For next week, the learners will be sharing with their peers their presentations, research questions and action plans on how they would intend on resolving these issues in Thailand.
Students are working in groups to solve real world problems such as calculating the size of carpet pieces or the capacity of air conditioning units required for the math classroom. Students have also been working independently to improve their basic computational skills. Unit 1 summative assessment tasks will be assigned for this upcoming week.
Students are completing summative tasks for the first unit inquiry on the process of the scientific method used to understand relationships in nature. Identifying variables and controls in experiments, investigating a scientific discovery and completing unit reflection grids will support students' understanding of the how scientific investigations are carried out and illuminate subject matter that needs additional clarification.
Each MYP classroom teacher will be assigning their homework via Google Classroom. The children should be reading for at least 20 minutes per day. In Week 8 the learners will begin reading a new novel. The learners should continue to complete any incomplete classwork for homework and submit it via Google Classroom in order to receive teacher feedback. EAL learners will have their own reading to do from Ms. Liza.
