Week 2

Dear Parents,

Welcome back to a new term. This is the last term for MYP4, and it is very important that your child is up to date with all the assessments and deadlines. If your child has not yet decided which secondary school (gymnasie) to attend, there are still some open houses taking place in Malmö over the next few weeks. Please check the specific websites of the schools.

If you have any general questions about the secondary schools or the process involved, please contact our new career counsellor Rebecca Farrar Kühn at 0768-567229. If your child wants to speak with her, she is available for meetings on Tuesdays.

New teachers that have joined us this term:

Monika Nizich Gyurcsek will be the Swedish teacher for MYP4 for Phases 2 and 3. Julia will be back after the sports break, but will be teaching only MYP1 and 2.
Dawn Koester is our new special needs as well as Language Acquisition English teacher.
Signe Jakobsen is substituting for Leighton until he returns.

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!

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.
Leighton and Carina
