  • MYP 2 students hard at work investigating what urban areas need to provide their residents and what makes a city a great place to live. We looked into Quality of Life, Public Services, Personal Safety and a range of other factors that combine to support an urban society and then produced a poster to demonstrate how some cities from around the world provide for their residents.
  • In Year 5 we have just begun an exciting new topic called ‘Water For All’. On Tuesday we took the children outside, each carrying a bucket, and we then proceeded to fill them all with water. Once they were 3/4 full we told the children they had to walk 5 times around the grass amphitheater (a distance of 550m). After a lot of grumbling, splashing, dropped buckets and complaining, the children finally completed their half kilometer challenge. We then talked about all those children and families in the world who do not have clean, running water in their homes and who have to go to nearby rivers and streams to collect water, often walking many kilometres each way.
  • It's been an exciting and ground-breaking week, as we have started off our Secondary school in WIST's magnificent new campus. Students had two days of initial orientation and on Wednesday school began in earnest. Lessons in the MYP are based on solving real life problems. On Monday students constructed weight bearing bridges using spaghetti. The bridge had to span a gap of 20 centimeters. The challenge involved effective team work, critical thinking skills and reflection, leading to redesigning the bridge when needed. There were some impressive bridges constructed, with the winning effort managing to hold 12 kilograms suspended from it. The design and quality of workmanship was outstanding. Students later used reflection, a key aspect of the IB Learner Profile, on how they could have improved their design. Tuesday was taken up with French, ICT, Russian induction lessons and the afternoon with PE activities and Uzbek School. We believe that we are offering the very best of international education here in Tashkent. The MYP is especially designed to help adolescents adjust to life in the 21st century. It is a difficult time for these young people as they learn to cope with a constantly-changing and increasingly interconnected world. The MYP provides them with the knowledge and skills they need as they grow, helping the students to find a sense of belonging. The MYP emphasizes, through the Learner Profile, the physical, intellectual, social, emotional and ethical development of the whole person. Be a pioneer, come and join us in this exciting journey!
