Succesful PYP Evaluation for ELC and Primary School
Within the framework of meaningful collaboration, the ELC and Primary School teams have worked to achieve an aligned program of pedagogy over the past 5 years. The steps we have taken to ensure our two teams are united, have been recognized and commended by the IBO evaluating team. For each of the three IB standards, we showed “satisfactory development”, in agreement with our own assessment during the self-study process. The evaluating team was pleased to note that there is an established “stimulating learning environment based on understanding and respect” throughout the community. This sense of community, and the “emphasis (we place) on open communication”, are two of the highly valued aspects of our school that we will continue to cultivate as we both deepen and consolidate our culture of teaching and learning.

CCEP Workshop
Jackson Pollock - Energy Made Visible
In 1943, the American painter Jackson Pollock was commissioned by the wealthy art collector Peggy Guggenheim to create a large-scale painting for the atrium to her house in New York City. The painting that ultimately emerged is now one of the most important works of American art. In this workshop, we will examine Pollock’s famous „Mural“ and ask the following questions: which colors and forms did Pollock choose? How is energy and movement created? Imagine that the lines would leave the canvas and begin to dance in the exhibition space. How could we transform the movement from 2D into 3D? After a "warm-up,“ in which we make initial drawings, we will shape and form our own wire sculptures. In conclusion, we will discuss how we name our works of art and how we want to present them in the „Art Show“ on December 4th, 2015.
