Parent Café
Our recent Parent Café was a presentation to the parents about the curriculum we have developed for our students. Thank you to all the parents who were able to join us. For those of you who were not able to attend, this week’s blog includes the PDF of the presentation. I have added explanations in several areas but please do not hesitate to contact me if you have further questions.
We are very proud of the progress we have made thus far this year but always know there are more ways we can improve. The joy of being an educator is that we have constant access to new research that guides us in best practice. Mr. Gauci has the motto that we do not change our current path of practice until we have well researched new practices in our teacher working groups. So you should know as parents that when things change in Primary at Chatsworth, it is because we know it is important for your child’s development.
Enjoy reviewing the curriculum.

Thoughts from the Chatsworth Primary Hallway
We persevered and finally the haze broke this week and the children regained the use of their playground once more. After spending nearly four weeks inside during recess and lunch times, going out to play was as exciting as eating ice-cream for breakfast! Teachers quickly moved to outdoor activities to enjoy a little of the blue sky and sunshine. The week ended with a dress up day and a great Dance Off House Assembly where all teams had the chance to dance to "Who let the dogs out". Teachers and students had lots of fun! We have had a great half term and we welcome a break to rest and recuperate for a busy second half of term 1. Have a great break, stay safe on your travel.
Enjoy this week's pics!

Perspectives from the PYP Coordinator
9 October
Evidence and data inform our teaching. Formative assessments guide our next steps with our students. In our meetings and collaborative planning sessions, you will often hear teachers talking about these two aspects of our professional world. To better understand what they mean, you would have to study student work samples, listen to conversations amongst our students or talk to students directly. These are the things I see teachers doing every day in their classrooms. According to the American Institutes for Research…
A picture may be worth a thousand words, but in education, information speaks volumes. Data analysis can provide a snapshot of what students know, what they should know, and what can be done to meet their academic needs. With appropriate analysis and interpretation of data, educators can make informed decisions that positively affect student outcomes.
As we get ready for Parent and Teacher conferences, your child’s teacher is looking forward to sharing their knowledge about your child’s learning.

Thoughts from the Chatsworth Primary Hallway
Learning never exhausts the mind -
Leonardo Da Vinci
It has been quite a week coping with the haze conditions Singapore is facing right now. Students have spent the entire day and week indoors out of the hazardous conditions. We all know that having time to run around and expend some of the energy children have, is essential to learning. Having said that though, the students and teachers have continued with the learning adding stints of exercise routines in their classrooms. Unfortunately, field trips and sports events have also been cancelled due to the poor air. Hopefully, we will be able to resume our normal activities soon.
Please note that children should refrain from running around on the playground after school as the haze is at a high level, too dangerous for children to be running around.
Ms Debbie and Miss Alison's Year 1 class has been working on their assembly this week and presented a fine assembly on how to be good inquirers. They illustrated many ways we can find answers to our questions. Both teachers and students had lots of fun presenting this assembly.

For an array of reasons, we had to cancelled a few CCAs/ECAS this week. Regarding end of day protocols, please communicate directly with your homeroom teacher / teaching assistant and Ms Brenda our bus manager at brenda@btntan.com to confirm any changes from this point forward. All teachers involved have been informed of the cancellations as well as the Bus company, the Primary Office and Reception. Once again, we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, however, we hope you understand that we have your child’s best interest at heart.
