Year 3 have been getting stuck into their new IPC topic, Footprints from the Past, where they have been investigating different historical reasons for events and changes. They have been looking at the work of Mary Anning, a famous paleontologist, creating eye-catching posters to present facts about her life. We have also been learning how to sketch a T-rex and the children enjoyed learning how to shade their dinosaur with coloured pencils. 

The TBS Primary students have shown great enthusiasm, energy and creativity in both their online and on-campus PE lessons. They have performed yoga, dance, boxing (boxercise) and kickboxing online and some dance, socially distanced football and rugby whilst on campus. This has allowed them to stay physically active and improve their fitness whilst having the opportunity to be creative. 

Here is a roundup of the activities performed by the Primary Students in PE:

They might have questioned “what is the pointe?” in Dance, but they set the “barre” high!

Whilst online, Foundation to Year 4 have been learning different combinations of dance moves and learning how to count with music as well as being able to show their creative side in dance. Here are a few online highlights below:

Year 5 & 6 are beating others to the punch and “kicking” the year off in style!

Year 5 & 6 have unleashed the ‘eye of the tiger’ with a ‘Superhero’ workout, boxing and kickboxing. Here are a few online highlights below:

On campus, the students have been putting what they learnt online into practice with dance sessions and have been perfecting their passing skills in football with Mr Gyawali and some handling skills in rugby with Mr Randall. It has been fantastic to have the students in PE on campus and their excitement and passion has been a joy to behold. Here are some highlights below:

Year 10 have had an amazing start to the new academic year and it has been fantastic to see so many of our year 10 students on campus so far this year. There have been so many examples of excellent work produced by students over the last few weeks and below are just a few that have been shared by your teachers. 

In Chinese, students have nailed a creative task by designing a questionnaire for an imaginary character. Each student was assigned to be a ‘student leader’ and was responsible for collecting data on students’ different hobbies. Here are some of the nice pieces of work that really impressed Ms Wong! 非常好！

Year 10 psychology students have been training to be brain surgeons! No, not really, but they have been learning all about the human brain, how it works and what happens when it is damaged. They created some excellent posters and also played the Brain Injury Jamboard Game that Mr Piaf created in collaboration with a professional artist. Well done Year 10 psychology!

Below are just a few examples of the fantastic work produced by year 10, well done!

Finally the Year 10 BTEC Music Class have been learning about the music industry and honing skills that are essential to different job roles. Em has created an excellent piece of work all about production and recording engineer slides.

They have also been looking at international and local versions of the same job roles. Dikha’s did a brilliant analysis of US based producers and Nepal based producers:

Lastly the Year 10 BTEC Music Class have been looking at how job roles link together in the Music industry. Rajeshri’s table shows the discussion we had about ‘who writes the music’ when a new song is released.

Well done Year 10, what a great start to the year and I can’t wait to see more of the brilliant pieces of work your produce over the coming weeks!
