Grade 3 Stomp!

This month it is time for Grade 3 to share what we've been doing. Our current unit of inquiry is into drama as a universal artform that allows us to express ideas and feelings.

After watching some videos of the musical performance group STOMP! the students were inspired to create their own. Each group created their own routine together collaboratively, and each member created their own solo routine that needed to incorporate a pattern of some sort. Please check out the 3 video links below.

Message from Ms Keira E

I am working on a school PYPx project about homelessness in Japan. I first became interested in this topic, when I helped cook Adobo for a soup kitchen for the hungry and homeless (attached are some photos of me at a soup kitchen). I have learned that the number of homeless people worldwide, including Kobe, Japan, is on the rise because of Covid-19. Having no home puts people especially at risk, because they are not able to receive basic services like vaccination cards. Seeing all this, I wanted to take action. To be a magnet for good. I am planning to raise awareness while raising funds for a soup kitchen, benefiting the homeless. My goal is to make ¥25,000 by June 1st, to fund one soup kitchen meal that feeds around 100 homeless people.

The thing is, I can't reach that goal without your help! I'm donating my time to create custom Keira-Art using a photo of your choice. The custom art can be added to a magnet, mug, keychain, printed in a frame, or you can even have it as a digital photo for your social media!  Please see the flyers below for details.  If you prefer to simply donate cash and help me reach my goal, you can do so with Fund-A-Need! Thank you for your support and for spreading the word!

Student Led Conferences
1 - 4th June

You will shortly be receiving invitations for student led conferences with your children. We will be running them online again, but Mrs J has had a great idea about how we can keep the spirit of students working together showing what they have been doing intact. Watch out for more information!

Student Photos

Available at Yearbook Publication
A very big thankyou to Ms E Palmer who was so kind to do our student photos for the yearbook. They look great and very professional! 

We would like to offer each family the opportunity to have the jpeg photo. Due to the quality being so high we would like to use the chance to also raise some funds for the school. We would ask that any family who wants their picture, please just make a donation. This is of course entirly down to you to decide, just follow your consience...

We have included a sample photo here for you to see the jpeg style, and we will open up the order form once the yearbook is published so you can see your childs image first before you decide. The jpegs we will send will of course be large size.

Bus Seats
We are very happy to announce that we have received a very generous sponsorship gift from Recaro this week. They have been so kind in donating two child seats for use in our school bus. They loook great, and are designed for the Japanese climate with a mesh material to allow for good air cirulcation.

A huge thankyou also to Ms A Moench, our Prekindergarten teacher who arranged the sponsorship. Ms Moench does a tremendous job for our school in areas like this.
