What a fabulous way to end our week leading up to our Spring Break. Our youngest artists hosted a wonderful art exhibit where they invited their parents and various primary classes to view their art work. For me, the highlight was having our artists explain why they chose to create their piece and what they enjoyed most about the process of making the artefact.
For those lucky enough to attend, it was obvious that there was a tremendous amount of work put forth by many. I want to thank the kinder teachers and teaching assistants, Ms. Gia, Ms. Betsy, Mrs. Oza, Mrs. Jaslin, Mrs. Pinto and Mrs. “D” for the facilitation of learning done with their students. As noted, our artists are young, however the quality and sophistication of the work is to be commended. There was also a great deal of support provided to the students and teachers by Ms. Ann, our art teacher, Mr. Marcelo, teacher of music, and our French and Mandarin teachers Mrs. Yard and Ms. Hai Ying. We thank them for their efforts.
Another reason to celebrate today is the first edition of “The Phoenix Time” Primary Version was published today. As stated on the front page of the publication, the submissions to the magazine stem from the writings of our students in the Writing Slueth cross-curricular activity sponsored by Mrs. Riemer, Assistant Principal / PYP Co-ordinator.
As the magazines arrived to the Primary Office, the students (and Mrs. Riemer) were terribly excited. Each of the authors helped to deliver the magazines to various stakeholders across the school. Soon, you can expect a link to an electronic version to be placed on the Chatsworth website enabling all to enjoy the publication online.
Finally, I would like to wish you all a safe and relaxing holiday. We look forward to welcoming you and the students back on campus on April 9.
