It gave us an opportunity to speak with students and parents before grades are finished, and will therefore allow some students a chance to improve their grades before reports go home. Thank you to everyone who came in.M3/M4 Maths ChallengeOn Wednesday (5 December), the M3 and M4 students will travel to the Moshi campus to join up with their peers in Moshi for a day of Mathematical games, problem-solving, challenges and fun!

These activities are designed to complement our regular Maths lessons and help our students become accomplished mathematicians.Introduction to IB Diploma ProgrammeThursday afternoon, the S5 class will travel to the Moshi campus to join up with Moshi’s S5 students for an evening of boarding experience, and a day of visiting IB Diploma classes.

I would also like to congratulate all parents and students for a 100% attendance at our conferences. Many wonderful celebrations of student learning were shared. Of value for our students was the opportunity for them to understand that learning is a journey that at times can be a bit scary, but with the support of parents, teachers and their peers, by taking risks, explaining our wonderings and knowledge we can all gain confidence in learning from each other in a safe and secure environment.P3/4 Education Outside the ClassroomWe would like to wish our P3/4 students a safe and enjoyable camping experience next week. Samantha and Linda’s classes leave on Monday morning and return on Tuesday afternoon. Kara and Ray’s (Moshi P3/4) classes leave on Thursday morning and return on Friday afternoon. As a culminating activity for their unit of inquiry on classification of animals, their habitats and characteristics as well as an exploration of discoveries in the museum of the national park , students will be able to make many ‘first hand’ connections with their learning at school and in the field. I am sure we are all looking forward to sharing, reading and learning about what they find out. Enjoy!New ResourcesWOW!!!! You will be hearing from your children about the wonderful new resources we have just received in our order from the United States. New Math manipulatives, construction blocks, the widest selection of art materials I have seen and even some new pieces of classroom furniture! Our units of inquiry research will be enhanced with our new ‘hands on’ discovery resources.Primary Tea-TowelYou will not want to miss out on this special Primary treat. Each child in primary is represented by a cute self drawn portrait of themselves on a Tea Towel that will make wonderful Christmas presents as well as a memento of the year. We will be selling them at the Christmas Craft Fair as well as from the office over the next 2 weeks. Get in quick as there are limited stocks.Costs:
