It is hard to imagine that tomorrow is December 1st! We have had another busy week
here at ISPS, with the PTO garage sale and
our students who participated in The Grant-a
-Wish Foundation Santa Claus Parade on Sunday. The foundation’s mission is the granting
of wishes to children, between the ages of 3
and 17 years, who suffer with terminal or life
-threatening illnesses.

Our talent continues with Elementary students preparing for the upcoming production: Winnie the Pooh. Tickets will be available for December 12th, at 6:00 p.m. and December 13th, at 1:00 p.m.
Next week, the PTO will be hosting its annual
Book Fair on December 5th, please come out
and support the event. Additionally, Grade
12 parents will be hosting a Silent Auction on
Wednesday, December 5th from 5:30 7:00pm in the Cafeteria. Many exciting items
will be up for auction. See the list of items
elsewhere in this newsletter.
Now that After School Activities are over, we
have noticed that many students are
"hanging around" school well after 2:45 p.m.
Parents are reminded that students are to be
picked up at 2:30 p.m. and that officially,
"supervision" of your children ends at
2:45 p.m. Students will not be allowed to
wander the facility if they are here after
2:45 p.m., and they will be asked to stay on
the bleachers in their designated pick-up/
drop-off areas.
We have noticed that many students are late
for school on a daily basis, and they miss information from homeroom teachers. Additionally, any student who arrives after 7:30
a.m. must enter the school through the Front
Office.
Dr. Mark Lee is attending the Association of
American Schools in South America (AASSA)
Recruitment Fair. This also coincides with the
AdvancEd Conference at the same location.
AdvancEd is the umbrella body for regional
accreditation, so it is always useful to get
information on new trends, patterns and procedures in the accreditation process. Dr. Lee
returns on Monday, December 3rd.

Well it’s hard to believe that we have just two weeks left to our Christmas vacation. High quality teaching and hands on activities continue in our Science classes. See for yourselves!
High School
Biology
AP Biology
With changes in the AP Biology syllabus, it permits time for
more hands on activities. Students engaged in many modeling activities as you can see below. They were extremely
innovative in modeling Mitosis and Meiosis and having to
present their models helped them to learn the detailed steps
of these processes.
More modeling went on in the Biology classes and it was
that time of year again, to make models of cells. The students never fail to impress me with their innovativeness.
Middle School
They recently had some fun in our Genetics unit when they
got to play detective at a crime scene. They used simulated
blood and had to use the process of agglutination of the
blood to identify the criminal.
In grade 8, we’ve been learning all about the human body.
We started by learning about cells and cell theory and have
worked our way through the skeletal-muscular system, digestion, circulation, and respiration. We are now learning
about the central nervous system and coordination and control.
We’ve dissected chicken wings and necks, built model arms,
used microscopes to look at our cheek cells and onions cells,
and played with the skeletons and models in our classroom
to understand everything from the flow of the blood through
the heart to the passage of waste out of our bodies. This
week we are building sensory neurons, interneurons, and

motor neurons as we learn about the brain and how it
works.
Just ask an 8th grader anything about the body, and they’ll be
pleased to tell you all about it!

Grade 5
Unit 2: Energy
Central Idea: Energy exists in different
forms and we depend on it for our future.
ENERGY! What would we do
without it?
Students in grade 5 learnt that energy comes from different
sources, but our current dependence on fossil fuels is
affecting our future. Mr. Fraser Elliott, one of our parents
who works at BP, kindly accepted our invitation to do a
presentation on oil and gas. He spoke about how oil and gas
are formed, located and drilled, among other interesting information. Students were amazed by the samples of fossils
and the information that he shared with them.
Another parent, Mr. Johan Sydow, who operates a company
that sells solar panels, graciously did a very insightful presentation about the importance of energy and how solar panels
harness solar energy.
Additionally, the grade 5’s did further research about other
energy sources, renewable and nonrenewable. One major
realization for them is that people need to use alternative
sources of energy such as solar, wind and hydro to help reduce the impact of pollution from the burning of fossil fuels.,
as well as practice conservation methods.
Students thought that the unit was great because it raised
their awareness that climate change is real, and we need to
take action now to slow down global warming before it’s too
late.

Everyone is hard at work!

Elementary Notes
ear Parents,
Parent conferences were held on Wednesday, and we hope
that your meeting with classroom and specialist teachers
allowed you to get a better understanding of your child’s progress this term. If you felt that more time was needed,
please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher for another meeting. Also, we would appreciate if you could send
in your Term One survey form.
All our students have been on stage practicing for the upcoming production Winnie the Pooh. We encourage our students
to enjoy the experience on stage, and even our shy students
to show off their talent. There will be a dress rehearsal on
December 11th. It is important that all students bring their
costumes to school on that day. Each family will receive
three tickets that have been placed in your child’s Friday
Folder. Grades 2-5 families are asked to attend the show on
December 12th, and PK– Grade 1 families are asked to attend
the December 13th show. Additionally, for the show on December 12th, all students must arrive at school by 5 p.m. in
order to organize them for the 6 p.m. performance. For any
further information on the upcoming production, please contact your child’s teacher.
Just a reminder that there are no more After School Activities
until school re-opens in the new year. Moreover, all early
morning classes (RISS/MISS), and homework pod will end on
December 7th.
This is our last newsletter for this year. You will be receiving
the first edition of Wazzup, the elementary student newsletter, next week.
Mark your calendar for the play, and come enjoy your child’s
performance.
On behalf or the Elementary School, we wish our community
a happy holiday, and we look forward to working with you in
January 20123.

Primary Years Programme (PYP)
Some of our classes will begin
the third unit of study before we
head off for the holidays. We
are on target for our unit studies, and we have seen the students’ learning soar! Additionally, many parents have contributed to our unit studies and we
thank you for that!
Enjoy the holidays!

PYP Words for this month:
 Balanced
 Confidence
Discuss the watch words for this
month with your child. We are
practicing the words daily at
school.
We are a learning institute, and
over the years we have encouraged student teachers to come
overseas to our school. Janna
Peterson and Kendra Kinnan
have completed their eightweek student teaching training
with us. These teachers will
return to Indiana University to
defend their portfolios
(reflections on aspects of teaching and learning). They have
worked with their co-operative
teachers (Ms. Angela Shahien
and Ms. Shafika Sultan-Khan).
Additionally, we thank Angela
and Shafika for mentoring the
teachers. We wish Kendra and
Janna all the best as they enter
the field of education.
Spanish Club
El club de español es un espacio
para que los estudiantes hispanos puedan afianzar sus habilidades de comprensión oral y auditiva en español.
Durante este año los niños han
preparado no sólo platos hispanos (tortillas de México, arepas
de Venezuela y empanadas de
Colombia) sino platos internacionales como la famosa pizza italiana. De igual manera, hemos disfrutado viendo películas en español “Mi mejor amigo Winn-Dixie”
y “Un villancico de navidad”.
La diversión no termina y cada
lunes seguiremos teniendo
diferentes actividades: aguinaldos, karaoke,
juegos de mesa
y por supuesto
nuevos platos
de cocina nos
esperan.

MIDDLE SCHOOL
Hello Middle School Parents,
Thank you parents for all your support and efforts to ensure
your children are successful in school and in life. To connect to school and our student’s lives, please check PowerSchool and talk with your children about their progress.
Also please have a family discussion about their role in the
world as a responsible global citizen that recycles and has
the smallest ecological footprint as possible.
Reminder: Real Time Daily Progress Reports Through PowerSchool: Now that we have PowerSchool up and running,
we will be utilizing the parent portal for real-time daily progress reports in-between the quarter paper reports. This
will allow parents the ability to check on their child’s progress more frequently and in real time, rather than only
having a paper report come home. Please be sure to check
on your child’s progress on a regular basis and collaborate
with teachers to ensure your child is successful.
ISPS Students and Families are Going Green: Our 7th grade
team hosted St. Anne’s school and any teachers from ISPS
who wanted to have their classes attend a viewing of the
film “Carbon Nation” in the theater. The film did a great
job on focusing the student’s attention on sustainability,
ecological footprint, and each person’s personal responsibility to reduce their footprint. In addition to the film, our
students at ISPS are focused on recycling efforts especially
paper, glass, and plastics. If you have paper, glass, and
ISPS at AmCham Trade and Investment Conference
By Michael Boucher
This past Wednesday students from Mr. Boucher’s AP Macro
and Microeconomics classes took part in the 11th Annual
Trade & Investment Conference on Governance sponsored
by The American Chamber of Commerce of Trinidad and
Tobago. This year’s conference featured four speakers who
focused on the problems of “entitlement” which face Trinidad and Tobago as it enters its second 50 years of independence. Nine secondary schools in Trinidad were invited to
send student representatives to the conference this year.
Students learned about pressing issues concerning the national and international economy, and local infrastructure.
Even more importantly, students were challenged to become business and civic leaders of the future, to develop

plastics at home you would like to recycle, we have bins on
campus right behind the roundabout fence. Please connect
with other families in ensuring TT is a beautiful place for
our children and their children. From the words of one insightful student, “In Trinidad we need to stop living the way
we are living. People need to use less, recycle more, and
stop throwing rubbish on the ground.” My question to him
is the same I pose to you, “what can you do to make this a
reality?”
“Down de Islands” All Middle School Team Building Retreat: The Middle School Down de Islands team building
retreat went very well. The students bonded across grade
levels and had a good time.
Middle School Sports 6-8 Season Two: We want more students to turn out for Middle School Sports. Our hope is to
have more students for the second season November to
March. Please be sure to turn out for Boys’ Soccer, Girls’
Basketball, and Rugby.
Thank you all for your continued support and please have a
great conversation with your child about the above topics.

their gifts and skills, and to focus on ways they can give back
to society instead of eagerly awaiting national gifts and entitlements. The seven ISPS juniors and seniors who attended
the conference were impressed by the quality of the speakers and intrigued by the conference’s message of responsibility, leadership, and hope for the future.

Now you have four pieces. Make the third cut horizontal,

QUESTION:
On a man's tombstone, it is said that one sixth of his life
was spent in childhood and one twelfth as a teenager. One
seventh of his life passed between the time he became an
adult and the time he married; five years later, his son was
born. Alas, the son died four years before he did. He lived
to be twice as old as his son did. How old did the man live
to be?
SOLUTION:
Let x be the age of the man at the time of his death. His age
consists of the number of years he spent as a child plus the
number of years he spent as a teenager plus the number of
years between his coming of age and his marriage plus five
plus his son's age (half his own) plus four. In mathematical
terms, this is:
x = x/6 + x/12 + x/7 + 5 + x/2 + 4
x = 14x/84 + 7x/84 + 12x/84 + 42x/84 + 9
x = 75x/84 + 9
84x/84 - 75x/84 = 9
9x/84 = 9
x/84 = 1
x = 84
So the man lived to be 84 years old.

BROWN BAG CHARITY DRIVE
The leadership students have embarked on a BROWN BAG
CHARITY DRIVE during the Yuletide season. Students will be
given a BROWN PAPER GROCERY BAG with a note attached
listing items to put in the bags and return to their home
rooms. As an incentive to fill the BROWN BAGS there will be
a pizza party prize for the class that brings in the most filled
brown bags.
The BROWN BAG CHARITY DRIVE will support some of the
needs of Rainbow Rescue; a home for approximately seventeen homeless and abandoned boys, the JB Foundation; an
organization dedicated to assisting paediatric cancer victims
and their families, Christ Child Convalescent Home; an orphanage in Diego Martin, the YMCA afterschool and daycare
program and the St. James Police Youth Club; an afterschool
program and centre for students. Most of these organizations need basic food supplies and would benefit from donations of used toys, used books, used sporting equipment and
used children’s clothing.
The Committee will collect the returned items, sort them and
repackage them for delivery to the various organizations.
The leadership students are excited to manage this project
from start to finish. They look forward to your support
and a very successful BROWN BAG CHARITY DRIVE.
