Who we are - continuous work

PYP3

Who we are

Central Idea:

Understanding similarities and differences between people helps us connect to others.

This week we continued our investigations on who we are.

Children brought pictures, objects and some of them even brought especial dishes their families eat on everyday basis or on especial occasions.

Arepa is a type of food made of ground maize dough or cooked flour prominent in the cuisine of Colombia and Venezuela.

Next week we are planning to have a picnic in which all the children can bring 

dishes from their culture and share them with their classmates in school.

Heidi and Peter Project

This week we took part in a very interesting project which was started by
Obersee Bilingual School from Switzerland.
Heidi and Peter are visiting different schools in the world. Obersee has sent us a book with Heidi story and Heidi and Peter´s puppets to spend a few days at St. Francis College and all
PYP 3 groups truly appreciated the experience.

These puppets and the book have been travelling for a while...

They have been to:

International School of Indiana - Indianopolis - USA

Riverstone International School - Boise - USA

Kit Carson Elementary School - Las Vegas - USA

Juarez Elementary School - California -USA

St. Francis College - São Paulo - Brasil

Busy, busy...

It was also a busy week for parents with the Goal Setting Meetings which are
extremely important to set the overall goals to be followed both at school and at home.
They were all very successful. Please speak to us should you want extra tips on
how to approach your child at home. 

Special Thanks

We would like to thank all the parents who were able to contribute to our investigations these last weeks and will still do it this week with our special picnic!

Stay tuned for for news!
