Note From the Principal

Visit to North China

I sincerely hope that all

Students, Parents and Staff

enjoy our new approach

to the CZTIS TIMES,

produced collaboratively

by Mr. Kennedy. Now, we

will increase the frequency

to every two weeks,

celebrating the growth

of students and capturing the happenings

occurring daily at school. Field Trips, Art,

UN Day, Halloween, Special Reminders and

Student Achievement will be featured in an

efficient and quick read style.

All students are to be congratulated for their

excellent gains in confidence and embracing

English. Again, well done! Enjoy the NEWS.

Years 3&4 and Years 5&6 went on a ferry trip

across the Yangtze river as part of their IPC

units on water and rivers. As the ferry set off,

bound for north China, the children were able

to spot many different types of boats and were

able to look at how pollution from nearby

industry is affecting the Yangtze. Students

and teachers had a great time!

“We had a great time!”

YEARS 1 & 2

Grade 1 is a class full of fun and frolic

we are doing a lot of exercises to improve

speaking, reading, writing and recogniz

letters. We also form words from letters we

already learned. Wow, we can read!

Grade 2 have followed an interactive st

called ‘Jake and Bones’ and gave Bones a s

place to live. We followed a series of clu

which led us to discover ‘Beegu’, an alien

on earth. We wrote letters to her and helped

get home. We are now discovering a new st

‘Where The Wild Things Are.’



YEARS 3 & 4

Milestone 2 has had a great semester so far

nd looking forward to more great learning

xperiences. We started out with the IPC theme

f Brainwaves; the focus of the unit is how

eople learn. Our Second unit Water: On Tap

has taught us about where we get water and the

mportance of protecting and preserving water;

Math has been a refresher on place values and

now we’re moving into geometry focused

ontent. English has been a series of short

tories and content is focused on re-enforcing

undamental skills in writing – verbs, nouns,

djective, adverbs, and pronouns.

YEARS 5 & 6

ELC ROOMS

Years 5 and 6 have had a fantastic time

with the IPC so far. During our first unit

Brainwaves, we learned about how we learn

through our five senses. During our current

unit, Go with the Flow, we have explored all

things to do with rivers from building bridges

to erosion. We’ve also been on exciting field

trips across the Yangtze River on a Ferryand to a water treatment centre. In English,

we’ve been reading There’s a Boy in the Girls’

Bathroom and focusing on grammar. In maths

we’ve examined the properties of 3D shapes

and have begun to look at algebra.

ome knew a little English. Some knew

o English. Students in the ELC room

re learning how to become effective

ommunicators…in English!

fter reading the book ‘Sandwishes’, the

ass thought it a good idea to make peanut

utter and jiggly jam sandwiches. Currently,

udents are cooking up their own writing

bout their sandwich creations.

arlier, we read with reading buddies from the

rades 7-10. We hope to resume this activity

gain soon.

F L O W E R E X P O

Years 1 & 2 and Years 7, 8, 9 and 10 had

a fantastic trip to the zoo to learn more

about animals from around the world.

While at the zoo, they got to watch an

elephant show in which the elephants

performed tricks and played football and

basketball. They also stretched their legs

walking around to get a look at many

animals from lemurs to lions. The trip

was a great success!

On the 18th of October, the whole school

boarded buses and traveled down to Gehu

Lake in Wujin to attend the Changzhou

annual flower exposition. The weather was

perfect and all the children had a great time.

The flower displays were colourful and

vibrant and the parks were beautiful. What afantastic day out!
