Flea Market

Next Monday - Wednesday, we will have the grade 1/2 Flea Market. Thank you to those who brought in things for us to sell. The students will take turns helping at the table for 15 minutes during snack, lunch and after school. You are welcomed to come and take a look after school in case you'd like to do some shopping. Students can shop during these times as well.

Developing Real-World Skills Through the PYP Exhibition
In the PYP, students are encouraged to be curious and caring lifelong learners with the capacity to take responsible action. A crucial part of the programme is the exhibition, a culminating in-depth and collaborative project held during the final year of the programme. Through this session, we hope to share you how this culminating experience is the pinnacle of PYP education.


Flute Recital
20th February, 2.00pm - 3.30pm
We are very please to announce we will be hosting Ms. Helene Boulègue at our school who will be perfoming a flute recital. She is a leading flutist from Germany and currently the leading flute player at Stuttgarts Radio Orchestra. She is in Japan for some performances and we are lucky to have her visit us. It will unfortunately be during our ski trip week, but all parents are very welcome to come along and enjoy the show.
Book and Culture Week 2019
11th - 15th of March
The Book and Culture Week Planning Team would like to enlist the help and support of the school community for the organisation of a few special events.

Event 1 - Cultural Wake-Up / Shake-Up
We would like parent/s to teach the students a cultural dance during our daily wake-up/shake-up (just one morning).

Event 2 - Cultural Museum
We would like to invite parents to set-up stations to introduce their culture to the students.

Event 3 - Lullabies
We would like to invite parents to present lullabies in their native language (at our mass pyjama party)

Please watch the organising team's presentation for more information.

Feel free to form groups or teams for these events. We only need one representative/ leader's name on the sign-up form

Visiting Author - Rebecca Ottowa
We have exciting news to share with you about an upcoming visit from a local author - Rebecca Ottowa. She will be visiting our school on 13 March at 3.00 PM as part of our Book and Culture Week. We will send you further details of her visit. She will be selling copies of her book - My Awesome Japan Adventure and we will be holding a book signing event as well.
We will be pre-ordering copies of her book to sell during the event. If you would like to buy a copy and have her autograph it, please order here.
This book is also the perfect present for friends back home as it showcases a very unique Japanese culture. So do consider buying a few copies to give away as presents! 

Construction Next to the School
We have received some questions about the building work next door, regarding when it will be completed. The scheduled date is end of March. Once again, apologies for any inconvenience.
