Everything Changes by Keane (Edited by Miss Carolina- Concert 2017)
You say you want  to  learn  something  more
When we think about it we know the way  you can
Disaster, the body and ancient civilization …cause
Everybody is learning in different ways.
Chorus
Open your mind, try to understand that.  We are…
Trying to build our knowledge by doing inquiry/ PYP
Let´s us to ask many questions and everybody  is learning in different  ways.
Don’t think questions will disappear fading into beautiful time…..
Cause everybody is learning in different  ways.

Zimbabwe- Please continue to follow...



Hey kids...
 We have been following the political events and changes in Zimbabwe during the past few weeks... please continue to follow and ask, Are the people in leadership really using their powers responsibly to attend to the rights of their people?
Read and discuss the news... what impact might the country have if these leaders are appointed?
Please look to see if other news outlets are observing the situation.
Please bring your thoughts and findings to class for discussion!

What Are Childrens Rights?



***Caution- Children please view this with an adult!!***
A conversation is required to understand why not all kids around the world have not been given equal rights***







                                     







Child soldiers








Do all kids have the right to an education?

Hunger...war...

Child Labour


How can our knowledge help us to change the world? How can we help others?







Types of Government Around The World

Hey kids,
  You have been investigating about different roles of leadership in different countries around the world so I know you have acquired a broader vocabulary related to government.... take a minute to review... Do you have others to investigate?
Have fun learning!
















Do all leaders who have power in government protect human rights or inhibit?



Hey kids,
 You have begun to analyze whether world leaders use their power for good or bad in relation to human rights. Some of you have discovered that leaders do good....work for charity, insist on education for all, while, on the other hand, some leaders infringe on basic human rights in many ways. We have read about discrimination of gender, race, torture, capital punishment,  people go ¨missing¨ and even censorship (freedom of expression/speech and freedom of the press.)  
  While all of these things are horrific, please take a moment to think & reflect on the freedom of the press, freedom of expression and speech.. . We spoke about censorship today... do you think this may be a rights violation?? What dangers or consequences could occur with censorship??


Do you have any idea of what this image is trying to say?

What message is being shared here?
Please think carefully and share your ideas in class!







Do we have the right to speak about or criticize any of our leaders?  Do you know of any people around the world that may not have this right due to censorship or other rights violations?  Talk to your family about this.

Precious Memories...


Hi there mom & dad, family & friends,

 I send you a very belated trip down memory lane... our 4A class trip to Los Pellines.
  
First, I sincerely apologize for the delay in getting these beautiful memories published. We have had a technical challenges which is a work in progress... The school will publish all official photos on the school main page (4A-4B & 4C)  next week. 

Secondly, I want  thank each one of you for being brave enough to allow your children to experience a few days away from your arms to enjoy clean air, all things in nature and to test their personal limits. 
I felt privileged to been present! I saw something quite beautiful in each student.  Some kids simply blossomed in nature! Many were out of their comfort zone but thanks to our wonderful guides and the freedom to just enjoy and learn (life without demand, no watch, phone, computer, TV, It was TOTAL DISCONNECTION!)... it was possible!

Finally, 
*Please remember your kids can live and grow without TV, phone, computer... 
*Give them a chance to explore without distraction and influence. 
*They can be so wonderfully unique!
*Life is beautiful! 

I thank you for the chance to see your kids grow!


If you have any questions or comments feel free to get in touch :)
Sincerely,
 Miss Noelle
