Dear Parents,

We are fast approaching the mid point of the year and are firmly settled in our Primary campus.

There are lots of rich engagements happening across the school and it is very evident that our school is a hive of energy and positivity. My daily walk throughs, visits to the classrooms and interactions with the students are by far the highlight of my day.

Over the next few weeks, we will be working on our faculty growth programme which will involve more formal visits to classrooms, observations and meetings with faculty and staff to get a better sense of what needs continued improvement with our approaches to teaching and learning as well as curriculum.

Thank you to the parents who were able to attend the 2nd PTA General Meeting. As always, it is good to see and hear from enthusiastic parents who are willing to give up their time to support our school and wider community.

Please ensure that reading is happening at home on a daily basis, because over the next 5 months we will want to see significant gains in student commitment, behaviors and achievement with reading.

أولیاء األمور األعزاء،

ها نحن نقترب بسرعة من منتصف العام الدراسي، ونحن نستقر بثبات في المبنى

Thank you to all those who came out to the PTA's General Meeting on Monday January 9th.The accomplishments and goals of the PTA were discussed including the Family Fun Day that has been moved to March 25th, a Ramadan event, and the possibility of doing a uniform exchange. Please contact us to see how you can contribute to any of the above. We would also like to thank all of those who came to the movie night before break, and volunteered for the school field trips. We also plan on having another parents meet parents on Jan 25th at the secondary school in conjunction with the MYP DP coffee morning.

FAMILY FUN DAY!!! DATE CHANGE March 25th, 2017 The PTA is working on its next major event, Family Fun Day!!! Which will be on Saturday, March 25th 1-4pm in the Secondary school location. This event is not just about nuclear families but our school family, and our greater community. We aim to get everyone involved and participating, parents, teachers, and students of all ages. Like all other PTA events, Family Fun Day will not be successful without the help, time, dedication, and volunteer work that both our parents and teachers provide. Things only work if everyone pitches in. We need YOUR help to make this event a success! We would like for parents and teachers to participate and help children with activities, such as crafts and games. If you have a fun activity in mind you that you think would be engaging for everyone or targets our secondary school population, or engages our teachers such as competitions please share and volunteer. If you are just willing to help at an activity, the photo booth, a sport, or at a craft table, please sign up! If you have a small business that can help our event and you would like to use this as an opportunity to advertise, let us know. If you are a henna artist, or can do face painting, or have access to bouncy castles or would like to contribute in any way, please let us know.

Secondary students could participate with an idea to host a booth, do basketball, soccer scrimmages with students vs. teachers, students vs. parents, parents vs. teachers etc. Secondary students will receive community service hours if they volunteer! We are trying to get Siraj, and other activities set up.

We are on a time crunch with this event. All hands-on board!

Parents are requested to come and join the fun and share a dish to share with everyone, finger food(s) preferred (no nuts, pork products, or alcohol, please!)

Please follow this link to sign up on the Google Form that will ask for your name, phone number, and email address and the activity you would like to volunteer for. We will try to organize it so that volunteers are paired with each other and in shifts so everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the festivities.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aMr79DAiEQvSWvh13lsWPJ_C6GqyBaUG5NlrkZ14OwM/edit? ts=58415be9#gid=0

We are very excited about this event and hope you are, too! If you have any questions, please contact the PTA at pta@qasidra.org

Finally, as a PTA, we invite all the parents and teachers to join our Facebook page "QAS Parent Teacher Association" we use as platform for different events, announcements, and for the parents to reach out to each other. We hope it is a great resource for everyone.

Thank you all for your support. PTA

7:45 – 9:00 am (after the assembly) the General Purpose room

QA Primary

Hello everyone! Just wanted to take a moment and update you on some of the wonderful things that are happening in the PYP at Qatar Academy Sidra. Many of our grades started a new unit when we all returned from Winter Break. The students have begun inquiring into understanding the human brain, examining how countries are shaped by their history and culture, and how learning about the past helps us to better understand our present. Some of the learning highlights across the school are: the third grade is building a partnership with Mathaf Museum (our new next door neighbor) to respond to and understand Art; our fifth graders have dissected “real brains”; our first graders are examining “ancient” technology like rotary phones, cassette tapes, and typewriters (yes it makes me feel old too); and our P3’s have taken several (sometimes cold) trips to the beach looking for living things. Hopefully, your children have come home and shared about many of their enriching experiences and you have had a chance to talk to them about what they are learning about

The second thing that I would like to share with you came out of one our PYP Morning Coffees. Many of the parents had questions about how they could support their children at home while searching for information on the internet. I know we all have concerns about our children going onto Google because the results are not filtered for children and we do not want them exposed to much of the content that they might come across. At that meeting several parents requested information about the search engines that we are using in school to help our students be safer.

Here they are:

www.kidzsearch.com - popular and educational games. Random interesting facts section. Kids cool videos. Encyclopedia and more.

www.kidrex.org - KidRex is a fun and safe search for kids, by kids! KidRex searches emphasize kid-related webpages from across the entire web and are powered by Google Custom Search™ and use Google SafeSearch™ technology. (copied from from KidRex website)

www.kidtopia.info - Created by Librarians for elementary school teachers and their students to use. Several subject areas to search in.

www.teachthechildrenwell.com - Teach the Children Well is a collection of links to sites carefully selected by a teacher for students as well as their parents and teachers. The site was designed for elementary grades but many of the sites will also be of interest to older students. - Elaine M. Doolittle, M.Ed.

www.gogooligans.com - powered by Google Safe search but not affiliated with Google.

www.kidsclick.org - web search site designed for kids by Librarians with kid friendly results. It includes a quick search for digital media as well.

It is very important for me to remind you though that none of these sites are 100% percent effective at filtering out unwanted content. To help our children become better global citizens, I think it is important to talk with them about what they should do when the come across content that their family would not approve of. Also, try to be mindful of what sites they are visiting and monitor their online activities.

As always, if you have any questions about any of this information or would like to learn more about the Primary Years Programme, please feel free to contact me at anytime at jmccary@qf.org.qa.

Sincerely,

During the Grade 3’s unit of inquiry into Human Rights the students explored ways to advocate change through collaborative Art action. The children felt empowered to make a difference to our new playground and came up with ideas to research, plan and create additional free flow spaces for the whole school to use. These ideas include playground floor games, water walls, music walls, chalk walls and painted murals. All designs were planned in such a way that we hoped important skills such as gross motor, social, problem solving and imagination are developed and enjoyed.

Over the past two months Grade 3 students designed and submitted a complete floor design to Mr. Harish and made 12 water walls that are now ready to be installed. Students practised QA Sidra’s code of care every lesson as it was a service to others in designing and creating the floor plan and water walls, they cared for the environment by collecting, sorting and using mostly recycled materials and they did this all in a responsible and safe manner. This was a transdisciplinary project as children had to apply a lot of different skills in order to succeed and that they did.

It was a pleasure to work alongside the children as they flourished and succeeded together, well done Grade 3!

Cross-country team at QPPSSA race in Dukhan

On January 8, QAS Panthers went to Dukhan to participate in QPPSSA Cross-country race.

37 QAS students demonstrated commitment and challenged their stamina and speed in the

desert area near Dukhan Water Sports Center. Together with 17 other schools, our grade 2-3

(and few younger) students raced in 1.6 km distance and grade 4-5 ran 2 km. Many students were able to run the whole distance, some needed a walking rest, but everyone

finished and no one was left behind in a desert :) We do not have the official results yet, but the highest in rank came Kriss and Youcef from

Grade 4 who finished in the top 10. Thanks to everyone who participated, parents for support and Ms.Ruta, Ms. Christine and

Ms.Sarah for joining the team and supervising our runners during the trip! Don't stop! Keep running!
