Internal Assessments
As we break up for half term, I shall include again this message about the first week back. The M5 schedule that was sent out last week has been slightly amended. M1 to M3 students will be completing their timed assessments within the scheduled week. This week provides further evidence of attainment, and also gives the students experience of timed assessment situations. It does not, however, provide the only data used to determine the final grade. Rather, the final grade is determined through a consideration of assessment data gathered throughout the grading period. M4, M5 and D1 have study leave during the week of June 6th to June 10th and need only attend school when they have an assessment. Below is the slightly amended schedule for M4 and M5. Ms. Watson has now added in the M5 Individuals and Societies assessment:

EAL Trip The EAL and English B students from the Upper and Lower School enjoyed a fantastic trip to the Museum of London on Friday, 27th May. The Upper School students were excellent mentors for our Lower School EAL students and it was wonderful to see them engaging and speaking English! The trip started with a guided walk of London where the students asked inquiring questions. After this, they enjoyed lunch before exploring the museum and exchanging stories of their own countries' history and the Upper School students shared their knowledge on the history of London, that they had learnt in class recently. The students were excellent communicators and demonstrated their skills from the IB Learner Profile. Year 6 Meeting It was a pleasure to welcome so many Year 6 families to the Upper School on Tuesday evening. The Upper School Subject Leaders were able to present a small part of the work completed by M1 students during the year, and the M1 students themselves were able to tell families about procedures at the Upper School.
