Assembly

This week grade 3 to 5 were hosting the Assembly.
We had some performance from other classes and some cooperative games.
I think people enjoying to see our assembly.
Let's check out our photos:





Before we started Mr. Scott gave us the instructions what we had to do. We listened carefully so we don't make mistakes. (Yejin)



 

We will have Indonesian night next week. My class will perform the dance called Blek dit dot. On these pictures, we made Blek dit dot puppets out of cardboard, plastic cups, tissue and hot glue.
Our puppet can move their head and other body part. They look good! We shared our puppet to the audience. (Dyllan)

 

 Jordi and Alaka were performing a puppet play and the puppet were talking to one another. The arms and legs can move.  (Robin)

 

 Design and technology

We were investigating the bower bird that lives in Australia and also Papua New Guinea  It is a very interesting bird. The male has a good voice and good dance too. The male spends 2 years to make the bower on the ground (nest). He collects colourful material to decorate so as to attract the female.This picture is showing when we made the bower out of straw, cardboard, sticks and glue.  We used colour paper, paints, newspaper and glue. My bower looks tall and we made a fence and it has gate also. I am happy with my bower bird house. Yejin


Our class made animals inspired by artist, Robin Wood's. My group made a monkey. There was a challenge for each animal and my monkey had to hang on the wire and it works. Gaby

IB Evaluator

When I was being ''interrogated'' from Ms. Halani I was using all my best knowledge to impress her  persuasively/diplomatically. I got  some feedback from her side.

 Caring

Gaby was being caring to Yejin because she doesn't understand her English homework.I like to help my friends if they need help in class.   Tama

TERM 4


SHARING THE PLANET!

Central Idea - Organisms interact with each other and their surroundings. 

We were painting  our favorite animals because it is related to the unit we learn in class, also we painted the Javanese rhino that lives in Indonesia in Ujung Kulon,  Banten.  The population is getting smaller because people hunt them only for their horn. These people are called poachers and they sell the horns so they can be used for medicine. We have to protect the rhino in many ways. We also use creativity and we also learn about other endangered animals. (Dyllan)

 Class assembly

This week we were running the assembly. The photos show we were helping the ELC 2 to show their own personal animal projects. At the start of assembly we wanted to remind students about the swimming carnival in two weeks time so we did a swimming warm up. We showed our art work about the armored Javanese rhino and asked questions relating to facts. (Gaby)

Swimming

 

Term 4 we have swimming lessons twice a week because we are going to have a swimming carnival. We need to practice a lot if we want to beat other school in JASIS swimming carnival which will be a few weeks after the ISB swimming carnival. (Avi)

Reading 

At school we have reading in the IT room. We use read-theory.org because we know our level reading and also we will know the progress about our reading everyday. (Tama)





                                              Kartini day
 We celebrate Kartini day every year. We all dress up with Batik. We had traditional games. I played congklak with my partner. We all sang Ibu Kartini and everybody joining. We had 2 moms who is Jasia's mom and Dinov's mom, they talked about their education and their work. It is interesting for me. (Yejin)

                                           

 Earth Day

   At the assembly we performed the play about people who cut down the trees which is not good for the environment and the animals and if we cut down trees it will be very very hot and there will be pollution and no oxygen. (Jordi)

                                             

 We were climbing up the tree at the school yard because we were all too tired. Then Mr. Scott asked us to climb up the tree to get my energy back. (Robin)

Drama

At this scene we were doing a drama activity where we planned our animals/who to be who and it is about predators chasing a prey but we swapped so the prey chases the predators/the predators become prey and prey becomes predator. (Dyllan) 

                     

Visitors from Henkel company.

They explained the definition of sustainability and they explained things like how to make the world a better place and how to make a cleaner environment. (Nathan) 

 
 Swimming Carnival 

On Thursday it was the swimming carnival. Everybody joined and we had races. My house team was Sumba and we lost and Bali house won. We tried hard but at least we had fun! (Robert)

 

Kuntum Farmfield

 

 At Kuntum, we fed cows, goats, rabbits and guinea pigs. We watched a clever cat snatch a fish and scare birds. There were also duck, geese, laughing rooster and we went down hill to see the horses. Everybody enjoyed feeding the animals. It was a good experience for us.

Narrative Story

It was Dyllan's birthday. We all wrote a narrative about Dyllan's birthday party. My story was weird also and it is funny.I think my friends liked my story. Robert

4 seasons of the Almond tree

 













In class we made an almond tree art. We did this because it was the 1st of March and a new season in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere. We used paper towels and water paint. The leaves have different colors. We mixed some paints to make new colors. It's kind of difficult because you cannot stick a paper towel onto color card. Prince

 PizzaArt

We were doing fractions and we made the fractions about pizza. The black part means the pizza is already eaten. We also put the topping as vegetables. It looks very good. We made our own stories with the ELC students sharing the pizza in an interesting place with us.I shared the pizza fraction to ELC students and the ELC students made a real pizza and shared with us. It was yummy! (Tama)

Personal project - inviting some new tasters.

Me and my group made lemonade ice and some other group made something different. This project is called Taste Test!
People from middle class came to test our lemonade because we wanted to have feedback from a different group of people.
We had 9 middle school students in total and their ratings were 8 - 5's (maximum) and 1- 4 rating. Dyllan

Student Led Conference 

Parents and other family members were invited to this year's student led conference. Students not only had an opportunity to celebrate their work in the classroom but also specialist subject like Bahasa Indonesia, Music, PE and Dance. At the end of the conference students reflected on how they felt their performance was and also accepted feedback from family members.

Jamu Seller

We invited a Jamu seller to our class. Her name is Mbak Parni. She sells jamu everyday. She had been taught by her mother. Most of people in her family are jamu sellers. Jamu is traditional medicines made of herbs. The ingredients could be ginger, tamarind, sambiloto, mint leaf, brown sugar, honey, rice or betel leaf.

Jamu could help people if we get sick. Like coughing, bone aching, fever etc. It is good also for body stamina, also good for children. Mba Parni has to start making her jamu from 3 am then she starts making the jamu. She washes all the ingredients, grinding, squeezing and the last is boiling it. She separates the the jamu into different bottle because it has different use. We invited other classes to come and watch this event. Everybody tried and taste the jamu. Most people like it. The one I had was like mint and sweet taste. Gaby & Avi

The second photo is when I had a play as a jamu seller, I wore a wig, I had to play as a pregnant woman. We wrote our own conversations first between a jamu seller and customer. The task was to convince the customer that jamu was a good product to have. Dyllan

Below are some of the scripts. Class Drama
We have been learning about entrepreneurs and having a business. We shared what happens in a market place where people bargain for the price. We then looked at something that was common in the past which was bartering. Barter is a trading. It is different like we want to buy something and we pay with money. We divided into two groups and made a play to show this. In our play there was a man who wanted to trade his goat with a snake but there was difficulties because the characters spoke different languages.   Alaka

Spelling Bee

In class we had a practice Spelling Bee. We needed to select the best spellers to join a JASIS Spelling Bee in Jakarta next week. Our class spelling bee was in teams. We had to use our brains in different ways because we needed to spell words backwards, count how many letters in each word, replace vowels with names and animal sounds and much more. If we got the word incorrect it was ok we were not eliminated. 

ISA TESTS (INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS' ASSESSMENT TEST)

 Last week students sat for the ISA tests in the Grade 3-5 class. This included Mathematics Part A and B, reading, narrative writing and persuasive writing. Students reflected on their performance at the end of the test, shared what questions were challenging and what part of the test they felt they did best at. They also wrote a letter to grade 2 students giving some advice on what to expect when they do the ISA test for the first time in 2016. Below is an example of a letter;

 We had our ISA test. You would probably think oh no, I'm going to fail but you should just not worry, take it easy, chill bro, chill because if you get worried the pressure is on, so just calm down and if you do the test it is actually not really that hard for you to do. The main thing is to relax. If you are stuck on a question skip it and then go back to it.

 Reward systems for children. Are they a good idea?

Our current central idea is, "Humans create systems that support human endeavor and  enterprise." While investigating the word SYSTEM we discovered different human systems but also a reward system. We recorded both the negative and positive for parents using a reward system with their children. I wonder what parents think and will they be similar or different when the students are parents in the future?

Grade 3/4/5  

2015 - 2016

Holiday story

I was showing the class about my holiday in Australia and what the temperatures were for different days.

For everyday I found the temperature and also if it was windy, sunny or rainy and I recorded it in a book. Avi

Spelling

I used a dictionary to solve my word problems and to find out the meaning. I had to write 5 reasons of why these words can be misspelled. One of the reasons was because of the pronunciation of the word. Jordi

 

We had a spelling list so we had to fill in 15 words for a test. We also had to figureout what 5 of the words meant. It was easy (I think) for me! : D  That is it!  

Nathan

We were writing a responds about the thinking cards. We each had a piece of paper and we had quarter it into four sections the we had to write responds about the thinking card and stick it onto the thinking card poster. Alaka

Taste Test!

At 2.30 pm the Banana Group made Bananas dipped in chocolate. First Robin prepared the bananas and Yejin. I  prepared the chocolate and Jordi prepared the lemons. If you are wondering why we used lemons it is because if we don't put lemon juice on top of the banana, the bananas will become brown.

Most people liked it. Gaby

We made a fruit cake. We used watermelon and we cut it to half and we cut the kiwi, apple, peeled orange and strawberry. We put that together and stored it in the freezer for 3 nights. We took it out and shared it to students in my class. It was hard to cut and some people didn't like it because it was hard to bite. Tama

 Ice Cold Lemonade

In this picture we were making and giving the lemonade to give to the class. Some part were sometimes hard to make but actually it was not hard to make. Most of the class liked it. To make it it takes about 15 minutes. All we used were lemons, water, sugar, and soda water and also baking soda. Avi

This is the class display showing our reflections on the 3 entrepreneur groups taste test sessions. The red light shows what did not go well, the green shows what was great and the orange light shows what suggestion will make the product better. We are looking forward to another taste test session next week and hope the groups considered all the class reflections.

Tama and Alaka brought our watermelon cake. We had to eat and say if it is good or not. The watermelon cake was hard and it was hard to cut also. When we ate it it was too cold. I think some people liked it and some people didn't like  it because it tasted weird. Robert

Chinese New Year

I was first watching this with Clay's brother, Caelan. We took a picture of our class showing off our Chinese costumes. We celebrate it every year at school. As you can see the kids down there in the picture were playing with the dragons.It's actually them giving angpao/money in a red envelope for good luck in the future. Dyllan

We had to read a text and answer questions together. This was for test practice because we will have a real test soon.

In class we were testing each other our spelling words and math problems. In math we learned about discount. When we buy something and the we get discount means we get less price.

Avi and me were working together at the ISA test practice. So we can be ready and be exact for the real test.

 

We were playing a mini game at the carpet with  the class and we liked it. Well its actually a some sort of a brain testing game where you have to include math and also remember when to say buzz and when to say a number.
