week 47

Dear Parents,
Coming into the last weeks of November we can see how quickly the year is flying by. Keep an eye out online for various open houses that gymnasiums are holding to get information for your child. There are many many good options availible and we should all have a back up plan just in case.
A heads up, we will as a staff be talking about developing a plan for students who hand work in late. Some assignments of late have been handed in days and weeks late. Teachers are looking to become more consistent with this and there might be some nasty wake up calls to some students. Time management is a skill a lot of students can work on!
Every Friday there will be Advents fika in Håkans Cafe for the students to pop in, have some pepparkaka and glögg

Dear Parents,
Hello parents! One week back and it already feels like we never left. The weather is getting colder, but the workload is heating up! Speaking from experience there seems to be a some old habits are still hanging around. It seems school hours are being wasted and work is being done at the last minute! This produces poor results! Make most of the time in the class. Ask for clarification and help from peers and teachers! I cannot stress this enough.

Students should be looking towards their community projects beginning their action phase or at least working towards it.

Currently the fundraising is over 21,000kr with the 30,000kr target easily in strike. This is off the back of some and not all students. I need to stress that getting involved is crucial for the class to be able to participate in the trip.

Enjoy a hot chocolate inside and we look forward to a productive week.

week 45

Dear Parents,
Welcome back! Did we just have a break? I felt like I fell asleep Monday and woke up in a panic Sunday evening! Either way I hope the students were able to take some time off and realx. Now, is the time to tighten the screws pull your socks up and get to work. There is still plenty of time to improve and turn over a new leaf if things haven't gone to plan so far, and there is still time to drop the ball if you slack off! On Thursday we will be going to Hyllie for the TODO where students can get information for next year. Students should be bringing home loads of phamplets and information to sort though.
A big well done to those that helped on movie night. It was a tremendous success, with over 4000kr being raised. The usual suspects of five students did a majority of the work, and it is important that other students contribute as well.
Till next week, stay warm and we look forward to seeing most of you for development talks.

week 43

Dear Parents,

I hope you are as excited for the break as we are! Until then there is still lots to be done.
The MYP4's will have plenty of work after break so it is important that during break they take some time to ensure they don't fall behind and catch up where needed. Whilst it is crucial that students take a break, they also need to learn to manage their time, and if that means catching up or getting ahead with classwork then they should spend a few hours here and there doing that.
Hopefully your students have let you know about a raffle going on for the MYP4 fundraiser. This is a really simple and effective way to raise money. We have three prizes to give away and tickets are only 10kr each. The students have made a commitment to sell 10 each which would raise 4000kr if they do this! So please, ask them where the tickets are and hit up friends and family. The prizes are great!
Please check your emails for booking details for PST conferences on Nov 5th and 7th. If you have not recieved an email then please let us know!
Thanks and have a warm and cosy week.
Leighton and Carina

Week 40

Hello Parents and Caregivers of the MYP4,

What a busy week it has been. Students are starting to get results back for tests and assignments, as well as completing three days worth of ISA testing. Im sure the signs of stress are showing. It is important to remind students (as we are) not to get too down on grades early. Students should use these first tasks as a guide to what the “standard” is and adapt.

With these “half days” students should also be using some part of their afternoon on community project and getting ahead with that. Finalizing their project proposals, contacting community members that can help and guide, as well as recording their process journals! There is never a dull minute for MYP4!

Also this friday is Diversity Day and students are encouraged to bring a dish from their native land to share with the class. Nuts should not be included and a list of the ingredients need to be created. This day is mandatory as students will be helping with the PYP and running activities so we need to make sure we are all here!

Otherwise have a nice week and rug up in this windy and wet weather!

Regards,

Carina and Leighton
