week 36

Hi parents and caregivers,

                                       What a week it has been with the weather! Warm, then cold, Sunny then Cloudly! It seems as though the weather has been as inconsistent as Malmö FF penalty shots! With the changing of weather it does often cause a changing of attitudes, so it is important to try and stay positive and consistent during these times.
With skola24 up and running, please keep an eye on that. If you child is being recorded as 1, 2, or 3 minutes late then this causes frustration in the class and pushes everything back. It is incredible how this time all adds up and the knock on effect it can have to other students! If there is a reason, as can be the case, then please let the teachers know via email etc.
A date has been confirmed for the MYP 4 community project. This will be on the 8th of May 2020. It will be good if you could plan ahead and come watch your child and others on this day. It will be held in a hall in Limhamn throughout the entire day.
Also tomorrow (Spetember the 6th) is the offical opening of the school. We have guest, politicans and all the bells and whistles, so please come down and enjoy the opening of this wonderful insitution!
Don't forget the parents night on the 12th next week. We look forward to seeing you all here for a meet and great and to take any questions regarding the year.
All the best,

Carina and Leighton

Hi parents and caregivers,

With such a warm start to the year it only makes sense for the students to want to spend as much time outside as possible! It is important to note however, that students must attened the lunch the school provides for them. There are issues with ratios and portions for students and we would hate to see food go to waste. Students are also rostered on to clean up after each other so it is important to each do their bit and attened lunch.
Assingments and tasks will be making a start and it's a great idea to get ahead of these early. We already have a task for the community project starting!
We are also starting our first fundraising activity of the year with students selling cookies from kakservice, so please be aware of that.

week 33

Hi parents and caregivers.
"Don't call it a comeback! We've been here for days!"
That's right a new school year is upon us and we have been at school, revving our engines, making sure the new school year runs as smoothly as possible. With a new school in a beautiful location, there is no doubt a sense of excitement around MIS this year. In particular the MYP4's our wonderful leaders of the new school should be excited. Whilst being the top dogs will be fun, it does come with a fair bit of responsibility.
MYP4 will be full of the usual academic expectations, with a whole lot more added on top. We will have the community project, which undoubtedly is the biggest task of the MYP. We are also trying to set a new tradition in the school by fundraising and taking the students on a more educational trip further away than what we usually do.
This will all take a lot of time for the students that will be well worth it!
Student are to be here 10.00 on Thursday and will meet in Leightons room on the 3rd floor (follow the noise).
We both look forward to seeing yourselves over the year and are excited for the possibilities ahead.
Best regards Leighton and Carina

Hi parents and caregivers.

It's so close you can almost smell it! Projects are being graded, tests are being marked and soon the students can put their feet up and relax after what has been a busy year. It is an exciting time coming towards the end of the year to look back and consider and reflect on who your child was this time last year. Hopefully you will see (as we certainly do) the growth of your child. We don't see this day to day but when you look back at week to week month to month and year to year, you see just how far they have come!

Please remember grades are numbers, and reflect the work students have presented their teacher. They are not everything. They often do not measure growth, they do not measure kindess, not do they measure effort and character. They are simply a reflection of what they have shown the teacher. If your child does well, then great. If they have room for improvement, or the grade seems off from what you believe then ask your child why this is the perception of the teacher? How can this be fixed? Reflection is crucial in the IB and especially for MIS who value life long learners.

On that note, enjoy the short week, and the weather!

All the best Leighton and Carina.

Information from Service as Action 

Dear Parents, 

It is our pleasure to invite you to this year's Service as Action Celebration Assembly on Tuesday 4th June at 13:00 in the Aula. We will celebrate this year's projects, give awards and our guest will be Mohamad Aljounde, winner of the International Children's Peace Prize 2017. Mohamad visited us in October and greatly inspired the students before they had started their Service as Action projects, so we are truly happy that he will be with us to celebrate their achievements.

Hello there wonderful parents of the MYP, I trust you are doing well and enjoying the warmer weather. It is getting to our last full week of regular school lessons, with red days UN days, and mentor days. It is certainly a good chance to push, push, push, before grades are final. A reminder that despite grades being in before the final week, it is important that students fully participate in the activities provided including the mentor day, UN sustainable goals days, as well as the rest of the list below. ALL students are expected to attend the MYP4 dinner from 1700-1930 unless there is a reason as to why they cannot. If that is the case they will need to help with the preparation before hand.
Thanks
Leighton and Carina

Hello wonderful parents and caregivers of the MYP3!
I hope all is well and people are starting to move on from what has been a very tough spring for those with allergies. Nothing major to report this week, just a few things.
The MYP3's are once again having a movie night, looking to build upon the success of the previous two. This will be held on the Tuesday the 28th of May and we will again be looking for volunteers to help with the night. 
So that you have time to plan we want to remind you all that the MYP3's will be hosting dinner for the MYP4's on Thursday the 13th of June. The students will need to stay late that night so be aware!
Thanks in advance for all your support. Please keep reading the blog and staying informed!
All the best,
Leighton and Carina

What happened to the sun?
Our first full week back at school and already we are looking for holidays! 
A few things to start thinking about. The traditional MYP4 end of year dinner is happening and as usual it is up to the MYP3's to organise this. So far most students have been put into groups to organise various aspects of the night. This is something that has always been done and is important that we have as many students as possible helping. It will be held on Thursday the 13th of June at 1700 till 2000. This may not work for some students to come, however they can help in the preperations and orgainsation of the night. The theme is the "Oscars" so any help with ideas and materials will be greatly appreciated. The students will be paid back next year when it is their turn. 
Also we are still looking for ideas on what to do for mentor day on Tuesday the 11th of June. Students have suggested the beach with some games down there to keep it cheap. No doubt whatever we do we will love parent involvement. 
Looking forward to hearing your ideas.
All the best,
Leighton and Carina
