know a range of perspectives. The people in AIS are also very kind and thoughtful. They are always willing to lend a helping
hand.
What is was your favourite subject at school. Why?
My favorite subject would be literature. I like reading classical stories that brings me to a whole different world and time. I
enjoy discussing these stories with peers and finding out other people’s interpretation of it.
What do you do in your spare time? During my spare time, I usually watch movies and cook meals with my friends. I like being able to follow recipes while adding a few twist of my own. I am a kid at heart, so I take pleasure in watching movies and
TV shows, such as the Avengers, The Flash and Gotham.

ARENDAL, NORWAY
In the Philippines we often eat rice for breakfast (lunch and dinner). But now, I usually just eat bread with a delicious spread.
I used to volunteer in a non-profit organization that aimed to give educational support to underprivileged children. The organization
also hoped to address malnutrition through a feeding program and by promoting proper nutrition and diet. I believe that every child
has the right to have quality education and access to healthy food.
What have you learned as a result of working in an international school?
To be open-minded. People have their own experience and story to tell. Hence, we shouldn’t judge others and instead try to get to
know and listen to them. We have to show compassion and be sensitive towards others.
Do you have any advice for students?
To think before you act, because whatever we do has an impact to ourselves, to others and our environment. Yes, you need to
enjoy your youth and grab the opportunities in front of you, but it doesn’t mean you cannot do so responsibly. I think doing this
makes you all the more cooler.
Name a fun game you see children playing in the playground.
I have observed children playing Four Squares and What time is it? Both games seem fun and allow children to play together harmoniously.

What does the concept “Global citizen” mean to you?
Being a Global Citizen means being a proactive member of the world. It means knowing events and issues happening around the
globe and reflecting and thinking about its impact, not just to ourselves but to others as well. It means being responsible for our
actions and trying our best to make the world a much better place for this generation and for the next.

Rue Lynnete Mafuta is a previous student of AIS (2010-2012), currently living in Arendal, Norway. She just finished the IB and is ready to take the next step in her life.
Rue comes from Harare, Zimbabwe along with two of her siblings, Linda and Rutendo, who are currently at our
school. She moved to Norway with her family due to better job opportunities for her father.
Rue speaks three different languages : English, Shona and Norwegian. She has also traveled a lot around the
world visiting countries such as Turkey, Zambia, South Africa, United Kingdom, Latvia and of course Zimbabwe
and Norway.
When she looks back at her years in AIS she remembers how much she liked how people in this school were very
opened to new things and getting to know new people. Her favorite subjects were English and Math. She says
that English was one of her favorites because she liked the way Mr. Grimshaw taught it, in a fun and interactive
way. When it comes to Math she loves the fact that every problem has a solution.
We asked her more questions about Norway and what she really likes about this country: Her favorite thing in
Norway is the people and their dedication to their own culture. Rue mentioned that her previous environment in
Zimbabwe was a lot different than here in Norway.
Her favorite memory of Norway is from when she saw her first snowfall. She had never seen snow before and that
is why it was such a tremendous and memorable moment for her.
Rue also introduced us to some things she loved about her home country, her favorite food called Sadza and an
activity/sport called Nhodo, which requires at least two players and many pebbles. You can read more about this
sport on this webpage:
http://www.povo.co.zw/opinions/zimbabwe-childrens-games-90s-nhodo .
Rue’s future plans are to become a Neurosurgeon or a Pediatrician. She recently finished school and wants to
study abroad. Her advice to 10th graders is, “Stay organized and everything else will fall into place” and “ Do not
be afraid to fail.”
So what does the concept of being a global citizen means to Rue? Having respect for other people with different
cultures and different cultural backgrounds and this thought, “You can stop and observe the other people’s background and cultural identity.”
Where in the world is Zimbabwe
Wishing Roe all the best with her studies abroad!

A closer look at Zimbabwe
The capital city of Zimbabwe is Harare. It was founded in 1890 as 'Salisbury' in honor of British Prime
Minister Lord Salisbury. The name was changed to Harare in 1982, naming it after the Shona chieftain
Neharawe.
Victoria Falls forms the world's largest curtain of falling water is located on the border between
Zambia and Zimbabwe. The local name for the Victoria Falls is 'Mosi-oa-Tunya' (the smoke that thunders) .
The country has abundant reserves of minerals, which attracted Cecil Rhodes, the founder of the trading company that led to the British colonization of Zimbabwe and after whom the country was first
named.

Mr. Mark is the Principal at Kristiansand International School (KIS). He lives in Kristiansand, and was born in Leeds, UK. He speaks English, Latvian, and a bit of French
and Czech. His parents were born in London, and York, UK. Mr. Mark lost count a
long time ago of all of the places he has been to, but he has visited most European
countries and a few others. He has lived in the UK, the Czech Republic, Latvia and
Norway. He really wants to visit Belarus!
Mr. Mark describes KIS as a small and very friendly place, with a good range of nationalities represented between staff and students. So what has Mr. Mark learned
from working in an international school? He says, “There are rarely single, simple answers to the questions of how we raise and educate young people. We all have our own
beliefs about what is important for the young people in our care, and the school has its
own procedures and rules that must be followed, but it is important to listen and be
open to those who have a different set of beliefs.”
His advice for children is: Don’t waste your time at school. It is important that young
people have a balance between learning and playing, but the time at school is very
valuable for students, and everyone should be making the most of that time to learn,
develop and grow into the young adults of the future.
Where in the world is the U.K
Back in The Day
Mr. Mark’s favourite subjects when he was in school were the Sciences, particularly
Physics, but he also liked Geography. He liked these subjects best because they are
the subjects that try to explain the world around us and how it works.

Cornish pasty
Cornish pasty is a pastry based wrapping filled with

Cornwall is on the far west of the south-west peninsula of the island of Great Britain.

A closer look at the U.K
By the end of the 18th century the Cornish pasty was the staple diet of working men across Cornwall. Its size and shape made it easy to carry, its pastry case insulated the contents and was durable enough to survive, while its wholesome ingredients provided enough sustenance to see the
workers through their long and hard working days. The mandatory filling ingredients for a genuine
Cornish pasties are: sliced or diced potato, swede (often referred to as turnip), onion, diced or
minced beef, seasoning to taste, primarily salt and pepper.
By the early 20th century the Cornish Pasty was produced on a large scale throughout the county
as a basic food for farm workers and miners.

Celebration Highlight For June
Lord of the Great Power Festival
Reporter: Kjetil Tobias, grade 6
Lord of the Great Power Festival is a religious celebration that takes place in La Paz, Bolivia at the end of May or the first week of June.
THE STORY BEHIND THIS CELEBRATION
The Festival of Great Power is one of the best opportunities to see many colorful and typical Bolivian folkloric dances outside of the
Carnival season. According to this story, on December 8th, 1663 in the city of La Paz, was founded the Convent of “Las Madres
Concepcionistas”. These religious were required to carry with them an image of God which has three faces that represented: the
Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The significance of this illustration led to massive discussions; therefore in 1904 one of the supporters ordered to retouch and transform it and became one that it was
totally accepted and was called “Lord Jesus of Great Power”. Since then this image has many faithful
followers and its worship has spread. Initially the image was moved from home to home of the streets
Mercado, Yungas, Figueroa, and Rosario’s Church. Later on it was moved to the street León de la
Barra, to the house of a devout family to begin the worship service twice a week: Tuesday and Fridays. In 1928 a temple was constructed in the area of Chijini,
and in 1930, the Chuquimia and Gisbert
HOW IS CELEBRATED NOWADAYS?
This year on May 30th is going to be held this festival in the city of La Paz with its traditional processions of the Lord Jesus of
Great Power (Gran Poder). 62 fraternities which are groups of people are going to participate performing different typical
Bolivian dances with colorful and amazing outfits. The names of the dances are: caporales, diablada, doctorcitos, incas, khantus, kullaguada, llamerada, mohoseñada, morenada, negritos, ollantay, phjillay, saya, suri tocoris, tinku, and tovas.
It is expected about 40,000 dancers to be part of this festival along with 120 bands with around 50 members each. All these people will
march and dance about 8 km to keep on the promise they made to the Lord Jesus of Great Power to faithfully dance for three years
straight. The dancers are going to follow this route on May 30th:
This festival grows every year in participants and luxuriousness, so if you have the chance to come and join this celebration, you are welcome!

FOUR SQUARE
Four square is game in which you have to have 4 players and a square with lines (like the one in the picture below).
What do you need to play?
The only things you need to get started in a game of Four Square are some chalk, a patch of concrete somewhere, a bouncy
ball like a soccer ball or volleyball and at least four people. With the chalk, draw a large square at least six feet wide and
divide this big square into four equally sized small squares. You can choose to number the squares (1-4) or not.
How do you play it?
You push a basketball or any ball that bounces to other squares. For example, if you’re in the 3 rd square you can push the
ball to the 1st 2nd or 4th square. You start off on the 1st square and work your way around. The trick is to bounce the ball
back to the other person without it going outside the square you bounce it into. When you have worked your way around to
the 4th square successfully, you are the “king” and you rule everything! Then you get to choose the rules like if you header
the ball (bounce the ball off your head), kick the ball or bounce it off your hip, etc. It’s your choice, since you are the one
in the 4th square!
Watch the video below to understand the game more!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bA3CsIlVIWU
Variations of the Game
Instead of numbering the squares 1 to 4, you can play the game by naming the
squares Ace, King, Queen, President, or in some other ranking order.
If you have eight or more players, you can have two players for each square. Each time a
player hits the ball to another square, they will jump out of the court, and their partner
will jump in.
The two players will keep trading places each time the ball is hit towards their square.
When players bounce the ball, they must also call out the name of a country, a state
an animal, a movie star, or whatever the category may be. A player is out if they repeat
something that's already been said.

BOOK TIP
Title: The Monster Who Ate Darkness
Author: Joyce Dunbar
Description: Under Jo-Jo's bed lurks a "tiny speck of a monster" with a "big empty feeling." This
endearingly unscary creature discovers a taste for darkness and eats up even the dimmest corners of the
room. Growing bigger with each feast, he devours the darkness in attics and chimneys before moving on to caves and volcanoes.
When the creature stops his feeding frenzy, he realizes that his insatiable hunger has created a "lonely planet" with "no shadows and
hardly any dreams." Jo-Jo, who is normally afraid of the dark, can't fall asleep in the endless daylight. As the compassionate monster
cradles the little boy in his arms and soothes him with a lullaby, the evening shades return.
Grade 1—4

Title: Refugee Boy
Author: Benjamin Zephaniah
Description
Alem's father is Ethiopian and his mother Eritrean, and as long as these two countries are at war, Alem's family is not welcome in
either place. So Alem's father does what at first seems unthinkable - he leaves Alem in England, alone, in the hope that he will find
safety as a refugee. Though the Refugee Council in London takes Alem's case, through the legal processing, finding a foster family,
and entering school, it is Alem's courageous and caring character that wins him the friends, the respect, and ultimately, the legal
permission to stay in England and start his own, new life.

Film Review
By Siddhant, grade 10
(2006)
A heartwarming film with striking and vivid images
Unrated, I think it is fine for kids around 12 (Some suggestive material)
Rating: 7.9/10 (IMDb), 87% (Rotten Tomatoes)
Creators: Mamoro Hosoda
Stars (voice): Riisa Naka (Makoto), Takuya Ishida (Chiaki), Misutaka Itakura (Kosuke)
Genre: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Fantasy
A teenage girl finds that she has the ability to leap through time. With her time travelling power,
she tries to use it to her advantage, but soon finds out that tampering with time can lead to
some rather discomforting consequences.
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is a beautiful coming of age story, and it also works well as
a time travel film. Its main themes are friendship and facing our responsibilities. It is a heartwarming film with striking visuals and vivid images. These visuals enhance the film’s story telling technique. The film is light-hearted and is
filled with slapstick humor, but it knows when to be serious in tone. Audiences could relate to the main character, Kazuko, who is a high
school student, and has problems, which every teenager has. It is a perfect balance of relationships and science-fiction.

Racism: The unfair treatment of people who belong to a different race.
Don't join in with racism. Don't think it is cool because it is NOT cool!
Grade 4
Our Reporter, Kaia, asked some of her peers their thoughts on racism and if they had experienced it.
Here are their answers
Grade 4 Circle Time: Ms. Davina
Liam, grade 5
People called me poor because I am from South Africa.
Tell an adult or a teacher if someone is racist to you in school.
Amaris Beate, grade 5
I think it's a terrible way to bully somebody. Just because somebody's different,
it's not nice to bully them!
Tell the racist person to think about being in the other person's position.
Ali, grade 5
Racism is really bad and I think we should stop it!
Tell the racist person that the colour of your skin is not who you are
inside.
Tell the racist person how sad it makes you feel.
Tell the racist person to go away.
Pragya, grade 4
I have experienced racism, because of my skin colour.
Tell the racist person not to be mean to your friend.
Stand up for your friend.
Ask the racist person if they are being fair. Ask them if they would like to
be told they are not liked because they are from a different country or
have different skin colour.
Grade 1: Ms. Sigrun
Silas: We could talk about racism to stop it
Remember that everyone is different. You must respect people for who
they are.
Mathias: We can say nice things
Maria: We can say sorry and we can teach them about Norway

Child Hunger
Child hunger is a world wide problem, and can cause big damages to a simple child’s life.
Here are some of the saddest facts you may not know.
805 million people in the world do not have enough to eat. This number is down more than 100 million
over the last decade, and 209 million lower than in 1990–92.
One in every nine people on our planet
go to bed hungry each night
Hunger kills more people each year than AIDS,
malaria and tuberculosis combined.
Poor nutrition causes nearly half (45%) of deaths in children under five –
3.1 million children each year
One out of six children — roughly 101 million — in developing countries is underweight.
I hope you think about how you throw away food, and how much an apple could just save a life!
UNIT WORK PRESENTATION
The PYP Exhibition is a culminating project for the Primary Years Program of the International Baccalaureate Organization. It consists of a collaborative inquiry that
students have a personal interest in exploring and that requires them to apply their learning from their previous years. The Exhibition is intense, tiring, exciting, selfdirected, process driven, rewarding and action provoking. The topic and action should be something which effects the students’ life (school, family or local community) and ideally, students should have a high interest in the topic that should inspire them to take positive action

COMMUNITY TALK
Community talk brings you the thoughts of members of our AIS community. Silje had some thoughts about
Thanksgiving and how it can be extended beyond the American students at our school.
Thank you for your input Silje!
EXTENDING THE JOY OF THANKSGIVING
By Silje, grade 6
Why Should All of AIS Celebrate Thanksgiving?
I think we should celebrate Thanksgiving at school because it represents sharing and working together. It is a holiday
for giving thanks for everything we have and you get to be with your friends and family.
How Can AIS celebrate Thanksgiving together?
We should all bring in some good food and eat it during lunch while sitting together. Maybe we could talk to someone we haven’t talk to before. For example; at my family’s Thanksgiving party many people come to our house and
if they have a child that cannot read, then their child would be asked to put the name cards on the table, so people would have a good chance of sitting next to someone they didn’t know.
Some Last Thoughts
The Indians and pilgrims were very different people, yet they shared crops and gave each other food that the other
had never tried before.
"Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of almighty God, to obey his will, to be
grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor..."
With these words, written by George Washington in 1789, an American holiday tradition was born.

This months brings us Shout-Out poetry
Enjoy!
Friendship Celebration
Shout out to the friend who makes your life better
Who helps you out when you are in need and makes you happier
Shout out to the friend who may now be just an acquaintance
The period of friendship was brief but filled with brilliance
Shout out to the seasonal friend who calls you only when they need you
At least they remembered that they can always count on you
Shout out to the friend who gives good advice
Who helped you avoid mistakes and shun your vices
Shout out to the friend who was your competition
Made you realize your potential had no limitation
Shout out to that painfully honest friend,
Who never sugarcoats things and numerous times offend
Shout out to the friend who is the life of the party
Count on them to know when, where and the minute THE event is happening
Shout out to that funny friend who goes the extra mile
Who, after a tough day, still manages to make you smile
Shout out to the friend who is a great listener
Who listens to you vent, rant and complain like a big whiner
Shout out to the perennial friend who’s been around for an eternity
Who reminds you about events of YOUR life that you had forgotten
Shout out to the athletic friend, the talented friend, the smart friend
The witty friend, the friend who always wears the nicest clothes,
The quiet friend, the sarcastic friend, the religious friend, the long-distance friend
Shout out to all of them because they are part of who you are today
