Activiteit/evenement

We kregen de vraag van Pientere Tuinen of we mee wilden doen. Dat wilden we wel. Het is een onderzoek naar hoe de klimaatveranderingen onze bodem beïnvloeden. Bijvoorbeeld de temperatuur en de vochtigheid. Ook wordt er gekeken of er voldoende voeding is. Wij kunnen dit volgen via het meetinstrument, de sensor die gegevens doorstuurt. Wij kunnen dat dan weer aflezen.

De leden van het Eco-team hebben het georganiseerd en hun klasgenoten gevraagd spullen mee te nemen: speelgoed, boeken en kleding, die nog bruikbaar zijn. Ze hebben al heel veel en de markt zal in de laatste week voor de kerstvakantie dagelijks te bezoeken zijn.

• Welke tips wil je andere Eco-teams geven bij het organiseren van een activiteit/evenement?: Houd vol!
• Onderwijstype: Basisonderwijs
• Waarom zijn jullie hier trots op?: We zijn trots dat we hebben volgehouden. Het duurde even voordat iedereen begreep wat de bedoeling was en er spullen kwamen. Maar nu hebben we best veel. Het zal een mooie markt worden.

We are a Language Friendly School where we welcome and value the languages spoken by students, parents and stakeholders with the aim that children feel accepted and valued for who they are. Multilingualism helps make education better and more inclusive for everyone. In Primary, each student from Reception Class to Year 6 has been asked to make a “language profile” in which they talk about their language identity - the language they use to talk to their parents and family members, the language they prefer to use socially and in play and the language they think in. English is the language of tuition but it is equally important to celebrate students’ home language and culture, whether this be singing Happy Birthday in their home language or choosing a book from the Home language section of the Library to share with the class.

• Welke tips wil je andere Eco-teams geven bij het organiseren van een activiteit/evenement?: Encouraging children to speak their home languages also promotes diversity and inclusivity. It enriches their understanding of different cultures and broadens their perspectives, fostering a more open and accepting society. Joining networks such as the Language Friendly Schools enables us to exchange our experiences of promoting home languages with other schools
• Onderwijstype: Basisonderwijs
• Waarom zijn jullie hier trots op?: We feel proud when our children share their home languages because it shows they're embracing their cultural roots and heritage. Language is an essential part of one's identity and being able to communicate in their home language helps them maintain a connection to their family's traditions, values, and history.

As an International School, inclusion, equity and diversity are particularly important values at our school. For this reason, it is important for us to share information about festivals and other cultural events celebrated amongst our school community. This academic year, we have focused so far on two such events: Diwali - one of the major religious festivals in Hinduism, Jainism and Sikhism - and Thanksgiving (as celebrated in the US and Canada). For Diwali, we transformed our canteen into 5 themed sections, one for each day of the festivity. Our Secondary students were responsible for a stand explaining each of the five days. Our plan includes a unique activity for each day of the celebration. We divided the canteen into 5 themed sections, one for each day of the festivity. This allowed visitors from the Primary and Secondary community to explore the canteen and fully experience the spirit of each day. Last week we celebrated Thanksgiving. Students and staff were able to reflect on gratitude and write on our Gratitude Wall in the canteen. As with Diwali, students brought into school traditional food eaten at the time of these two celebrations.

• Welke tips wil je andere Eco-teams geven bij het organiseren van een activiteit/evenement?: Planning is key: students who have first-hand experience with these festivities were targeted to help put on these events and the parent community was also involved in assisting the students to provide traditional food and symbolic items intrinsic to the celebration of the festivals.
• Onderwijstype: Voortgezet onderwijs
• Waarom zijn jullie hier trots op?: We are very proud when students take the lead in initiatives such as our Diwali and Thanksgiving celebrations; not only does it highlight their leadership skills and organizational abilities but also signifies their initiative, open-mindedness, and willingness to learn about diverse cultures.
