Term 1 – Week 11

The midterm break is upon us as we come to the end of the first part of term 1, and what a bust term it has been. I will link some of the videos that have been made by our students in a separate email, please note that even though it is on YouTube it can only be watched by someone with the link. The students have also been working hard on their learner portfolios with Mr Green as a showcase of their efforts.

Please be reminded that it is midterm break this week coming 7 – 11 November and that students resume class on Monday 14 November. Another upcoming event is the class field trip to the Busan National Science Museum that will happen on Wednesday 23 November, students have received an information letter and a reply slip that has to be returned by Monday 14 November along with W 5000 to help cover admittance.

This week we also started a new unit in IMYC entitled: “Responsibility: Each of us is in charge of the actions we choose.” as part of that the students took part in a project to reproduce a movie trailer of their choice in a cheap and quick way. Each learner was given some responsibilities in making the movie. The students had a lot of fun making the trailer and the end product was very enjoyable, you can watch it with the link I will email you separately.

In English, we read to the end of our current short story; the students needed to make predictions about the ending and analyse the author’s choices. The students also made news reports based on the ending and performed these to the rest of the class. 

In Math, the students started a unit on fractions where they learned to compare fractions, add and subtract mixed numbers and simplify their answers.

On Friday the class had the opportunity to interact with the youngest members of our school and to find out what they are getting up to.

That is all for this week, I hope you all have a good mini-break and come back refreshed and eager to learn on the 14th.
