From the Inside, Out! March / 2013 Welcome to the second, spring edition of KSI Montenegro’s newsletter “From the Inside, Out”! W e bring you the latest news on the school’s events and activities, and we are pleased to share some of the learning experiences. Traditional carnivals and costume balls taking place around the Boka Bay are a unique and beautiful way to salute the arrival of the new season and sunny weather. As you will see we have strived to offer engaging opportunities beyond the classroom, further supporting students to inquire into the local community and the wider world around them. Activities that stem from the classroom and are developed with students are unique events that everyone can enjoy. KSI is set to become the first IB school in Montenegro, and as IB learners, we are striving to be: Inquirers, Knowledgeable, Thinkers, Communicators, Principled, Open-minded, Caring, Risk-takers, Balanced and Reflective. Welcome to our world! 100 100 words for the 100th day at school “100 days at school! That’s A LOT of days at school!” yelled the five year old. Some of the Kinders mixed with Year 1 and 2 students and were grouped in pairs to see if each could count to 100. All pairs were given a 100 day kit. They dove into their kits to see if they could do it. Some groups used the miniature 100 chart, while others counted out one by one on the carpet. Within minutes they shouted, “Finished!”. When the children were prompted to see if they could find a way to make sure they did in fact have 100, the real inquiry began! KSI Montenegro Calendar Saturday, March 2, 12:00 Children’s Carnival at Porto Montenegro, organised by the Children’s Association of Tivat Friday, March 29 – April 2 Western Easter break Friday, April 12, 2.30-3.30 Afterschool Activity Clubs – Open Day Wednesday, March 06 Wednesday, April 17 KSI Assembly KSI Assembly Wednesday, March 27 Last week of April KSI Assembly Budva Carnival KSI Students Visit Traditional Venetian Handmade Masks Exhibition F ebruary in Boka Bay brings the spirit of festivities and traditional masquerades. Students of KSI Montenegro enjoyed this in more than 100 unique masks, handcrafted for the upcoming carnivals by the young Montenegrin artist Tanja Topuzoska. Her exquisite artwork were displayed at Naval Heritage Collection in Porto Montenegro and here are some examples the children liked the most. KSI Montenegro Masquerade A long with many carnival festivities taking place in the Bay of Kotor during the month of February, we also organised our very own masquerade. Merry ceremonies preceded the visit to the Venetian masks exhibition, where learners explored the origin and significance of the carnivals and the purpose and meanings of the various masks. As the students are inquiring into celebrations and traditions, Year 1 and Year 2 deepened their knowledge regarding carnival festivities. They were able to substantiate their learning with real experiences, lots of joy and excitement. NEW After School Activities (ASA) PROGRAMME T he new semester brings new, exciting and carefully selected after -school activities. At KSI Montenegro we understand that even after the school day is over there is more to learn. KSI after-school activities are an interesting and enjoyable way to expand our ideas and creativity. “Our new fun and educational ASA programme started on February 4 and will last until April 12”, said Martina Dujmusic, coordinator for ASA activities. Martina mentioned that there are 9 different activities and that everyone can find something suitable, whether they are keen on sports or interested in music and arts. The programme is open to all children and KSI Montenegro is always happy to see new faces. During the week students from all classes have been carefully preparing their masks combining them with costumes and gladly sharing ideas with each other. The students devised their own creations of masks, nurturing their creativity and exploring shapes, colours and decoration techniques. Fairies, pirates and super heroes got together at one big school masquerade to honour the tradition. Everybody really enjoyed themselves and danced to the traditional carnival music. We might not be coated in snow, but we are still celebrating the winter in our own way! The KSI masquerade was a real success!
