New Friends at QSI Atyrau!Our school has been very lucky to welcome many new teachers and students to our school! Please make them all feel at home, and help them learn why our school is such an amazing place to learn and grow! The Tower Challenge continues in Secondary!Students in our team-building sessions each morning have twice before taken on the Paper Tower Challenge. A photo from the last challenge shows a height of 80 cm was reached. This week our final Tower Challenge took place with individual teams reaching heights of 140 cm. The four teams were then combined into two teams and given 5 minutes to continue the challenge. The towers reached heights of 215 and 220 cm respectively. Through performance based assessment, it would appear that tower building skills have advanced admirably this year. Group photos will be included with my next contribution. Smile for the Camera!This week we began taking photos of our students for the school Year Book. Below are some outtakes of our young women getting ready for their photo shoot and doing silly poses for the camera! Literacy Week February 11-15Book ExchangeStart bringing in books now; English and other languages! Please give them to your teachers. They will keep track of how many tokens you will receive; up to 4 tokens. (If you have books beyond 4 to donate that would be so kind! It will help those who do not have any books to donate, as it can be a bit difficult to get books here)
