Grade 6 Physical Education Update:
In Physical Education, Grade 6 students enjoyed a successful and fun Jump Rope unit. In four weeks, students learned various jump rope skills while working on their fitness. For their final project, students formed groups of three or four and created a jump rope routine by using the elements learned in class and by adding their own personal touches, ideas and choice of music. Students worked very hard on creating the routine and sharing ideas. During the preparation phase, students demonstrated a high level of collaboration, creativity, perseverance and responsibility. The groups built complex routines and performed with joy and confidence. 
Basketball Skills Camp with Miss Pal: A free skills camp was open to all MS & HS students who wanted to improve their basketball prowess. The camp took place in the main gym on November 16th. Students thoroughly enjoyed their skills camp experience led by Ms. Pal, Mr. Fubler, Mr. Tarbell and three guest coaches visiting AISB from Africa.
Grade 8 Science:
Students in Ms. Tarbell's classes have been experimenting with a cross-curricular "Chemistry-meets-Art" activity focusing on "Cyanotypes". I would encourage you to ask your child to explain the science behind the artistic and creative products of their work.
