Students learned about how the origins of the organization and how they manage to help children around the world. They had a chance to do an activity to deepen their knowledge of what they learned. Afterwards, Akito placed posters around the school to ask other students their opinion on what all kids need.

UOI

As a part of our current unit, Grade 6 is exploring the concept of beauty and what it means to them.  

English

An important part of learning English is being able to listen and ask relevant questions. Grade 8 created a model museum where they created artifacts of Industrial Revolution era inventions that aided exploration. So, grade 6 combined with them to be an audience and ask questions about their exhibits. 

Winter Party

On the last day of this term, the students had a chance to relax and have fun! For our Winter party, the kids went to Round 1. They did EVERYTHING ranging from arcade games to karaoke to riding a bull.
