AIS - Summer School

Hello Parents,  Welcome to an invigorating and fun week of summer school.Our theme for this week was Art and Science. Our week was filled with a wide range of learning experiences for all students. Students started the week by looking at the  different parts of plants and their functions. They then cut out the different parts of a flower and put them on a sheet to make the full plant. Students worked in pairs to  make a life-sized body map to learn about human anatomy. They learned about the anatomy and the five basic senses.                       Students  investigated  the world of animals by reading various picture books. They explored four facets of animals, such as basic facts, animal babies, interaction with others, and habitats. They worked together to research an animal of their choice then presented the information to their peers. They also made various animal masks to enhance the presentations....

The best thing about Summer School is having so much time to play games! We played a lot of games every day and had a blast! We had fun with Art and Science by making magic art! When we put the ar...
