The grade 5 students worked like little ants this week to be ready for presenting their Primary Years Program
Exhibition. They wrote, typed, printed, cut, organized and glued their findings, action and evidence on their
boards to complete their booths. In between all this busyness they also took action based on what they learned,
creating flyers, posters, speeches or meeting with important role-players.
We would like to invite all community members to our Exhibition Presentation on Tuesday 26 April at 5:00pm in
the Elementary Assembly Hall. Come celebrate our students learning with us!
The Exhibition booths will also be on display from the 22nd to the 28th of April, so please feel free to drop by
anytime to learn about our students inquiries into real-life issues, their findings and how they are trying to make
a difference.
Below are some informational flyers created by the students for the BIFS community, we hope they challenge
you to make a difference!

Field Trip
Lower elementary students from Kindergarten to Grade 2 enjoyed a day out at the new Kidzania in Centum
City. The students had lots of fun trying out all the different jobs offered by the theme park and making their
own money to spend. "I learned how to fly an airplane" - David. "I tried to do my best in doing the jobs correct
like in K-pop dancing" - Andrine. I felt like a real exterminator in Kidzania" - Felix. "I used a firehose to take out
the fire' - David. "I wondered if I can go back to Kidzania because it was too fun..." - Rene.

Each middle and high school student has a Homeroom classroom that they visit each day for thirty minutes.
Next year Homeroom will take place at the end of the day. During this time, the homeroom teacher will support
and guide each student through the academic and social demands of the middle and high school. Each week
students will receive one lesson from their Homeroom teacher and one lesson from the Counsellor or PE
Teacher. Also, students will have the opportunity to complete assignments/homework two blocks per week.
