Transdisciplinary Theme
How we organise ourselves
Central Idea
Modern organisations impact the planet in various ways.
Lines of inquiry.
- how organisations manage waste (responsibility)
- the purpose and goals of organisations ( function)
- how organisations connect with communities (connection)
- how organisations change the environment (responsibility)
Flipgrid
On Wednesday we made a video on Flipgrid about our favorite book. Using flipgrid is easy, all we have to do is take a video and talk about the book title, author, showing the book and why you recommend the book. We started writing what we say in our book, then letting our partner time us for 30 seconds and after recording it on flipgrid.
Students collaborated to decided on some essential agreements for the year. Here they are and we will refer to them regularly as we monitor progress.
- We will be risk-takers and share ideas positively.
- We will always try our best and never give up.
- We will walk from class to class with each other.
- We agree to focus on our work to complete our tasks
- We will listen to and respect everybody's ideas and opinions.
- We will respect each other and be positive.
- We will always know where we will be and where we are going.

Dear Parents,

Welcome to Grade 5. My name is Garrett Walsh and I will be your child’s class teacher this year. I come from Ireland and have worked in international schools since 1991. This is my second year at ISPP and I have been a classroom teacher for 29 years. I am looking forward to continuing to work with students in Grade 5 this year. I hope to meet you soon to provide you with further information about the school year.

Communication
At ISPP we communicate electronically with parents and students. We therefore need an e-mail account that you access regularly. Please fill in the form with the e-mail address or addresses you use most regularly and return it to school as soon as possible. Your child will have an ISPP e-mail address that they will use to communicate with teachers and other students.
We would also like to encourage you to visit the Grade 5 class Blog. This is where the Grade 5 teachers communicate what is happening at school and where you can find information about our curriculum, home learning and a weekly slideshow of highlights from the week. (This year Grade 5 will have one blog for the whole grade level and you will find a tab for each homeroom within the blog).
Please find below our scheduled single subject lessons. School begins at 7:25am and ends at 2:30pm.

Each day your child will need to have a snack for recess and a durable and reusable bottle for drinking water. Please make sure that your child has appropriate clothing for their Swimming lesson (e.g. swimmers, towel, goggles, swim hat), and for PE (e.g. trainers, shorts, PE t-shirt and a change of clothes).
Home Learning
On Mondays weekly home learning will be posted on the Grade 5 blog. Students are expected to check the blog post and work on tasks for 40 - 50 minutes, 4 days per week (including home reading).
Please feel free to contact me with your questions or concerns. If you need to speak to me about something important it is always best to make an appointment at the email address garrettwalsh@ispp.edu.kh
Yours sincerely,
