Thoughts from the Chatsworth Primary Hallway

Sport's Day March 10, 2016

Yesterday saw the first K2-Y6 Sports Day in the primary school.  In the past, the EY and JY sports days were two events taking place at two different venues.  Last year, after the EY and JY sports days, the Primary Spirit Working Group proposed a whole school event at one site.  The Spirit Working Group together with the PE teachers Ms Brennan and Mr Muhammad have been planning for this event for the best part of 6 months.  Yesterday, we all enjoyed the fruits of their labour!  The venue they chose allowed for all the EY and JY events to take place simultaneously.  With hats and sunscreen in toe and plenty of water and fruit available,  all the students enjoyed competing for their house teams.  Parents too enjoyed watching and sometimes competing in the day's events! Thank you to the CPG, who organised a group of parents to support each event, as well as the manning the rest station with water and fruit.  The House Assembly on Friday was dedicated to medals and certificates, as well as the winning Trophy!  Congratulations to Changi, who are the House winners for the 2015-2016 Sports Day.

Prespectives from the PYP Coordinator

4 March

PYP schools provide students with learning experiences that are engaging, relevant, challenging and significant, in learning environments that are stimulating and provocative… (Making the PYP happen, pg. 7) One of the ways we provide these types of learning experiences is through field trips. We are able to connect to things in our local community and help our students gain a deeper understanding of the central idea. These creative, stimulating learning environment encourage curiosity and inquiry. Singapore has so much to offer; so our students adventure out of the classroom to different areas around the island.

Check out some of our recent trips:

Y3 classes trip to the Sea Aquarium

Y5 Sungei Buloh

Y4 Peranakan Museum

 

K2 Raffles Place for statues

Y6 Orchard Road Walk and Urban Redevelopment Authority Museum
