Meeting Aya-Sensei, a great ARTIST

Grades 3 and 4 were lucky to have been given a chance to meet one great artist here in Japan. Aya-Sensei conducted a workshop on painting and explained how painting is a form of art and an expression of oneself. She discussed how painting can generate income. Focusing more on how painting is marketed, and reasons why paintings are bought.

TRADING, EXPORT, IMPORT

It was a bit challenging to make the students understand the concept behind trading. They know the difference between exportation and importation as well as the reasons behind trading. However, making them grasp the mechanics of how it is done, and how product availability, global competition, mass production, demand and supply affect the pricing and value of the commodity was challenging. However, thanks to this activity. This answered their queries on trading. :)

St. Martin Day

Lanterne, Lanterne... It is always a great experience to remember the heroic act of St. Martin. His selflessness is remarkable. On St, Martin Day, the school commemorates him and his act by showing a short event of his life and going around the island while carrying a lantern and singing songs. The highlight of it is the sharing of bread at school, replicating the selfless act done by St. Martin.

Community Work

Our Grade 4s have been very keen to do a simple clean up drive for the world. They decided to do a once a week 'Trash-picking'. This is done on Wednesdays, from 12.00 to 12.30 PM. They enjoy picking up trash for a cleaner environment. :)

A Trip to Suma Rikyu Park

Most Grade 4s had been here a lot of times, yet they still enjoy the adventure.

CAMPAIGN for a BETTER EARTH

After realising how much Human actions affect the Earth in a BAD WAY, Grade 4s thought of different small acts of kindness that they can do to promote a campaign to make EARTH a better place.

The KINDNESS MOVEMENT is composed of small things they can do in their own simple ways such as turning off lights when not in use, and others.

Let us work hand in hand to promote a sustainable world.
