Speeches "play-off" !!!

The speeches were high standard and well delivered! Well done all!

After much considerations, there are 3 finalists for the Speech Contest night: Nicholas, Rose and Diana ^^ 

Today in ICT Year 6 students improved their Digital citizenship aide memoirs by focusing on the finer points of graphic design. Jinee and Chow from BIS graphics and design team came to TX campus to work with the students. soon the Year 6 Networkers in action will be around the school reminding us all about Digital citizen, and good citizenship. look out for their posters.









Both Jinee and Chow offered really good advise about design techniques and elements of design which were:

• Balance. The most important message is in the biggest font, the second message in a smaller font
• Space. Space your text out, so the messages aren't fighting with each other for space and prominence.
• Colour. Use striking and contracting colours. Red  and black are good 
• Easy to read. Try a different shape
• Persuasive. Dominant message should be big and bold
• Fonts. Stay with one font.
• Eye catching. Be creative
• KIS. Keep it simple.

Trip to PDV

Children thoroughly enjoyed their trip to PDV this afternoon. They had fun singing and playing games. But most of all, they enjoyed seeing their friends from PDV again and had a good time together.

The Speech Contest is getting close:

Dear Parents,

The children at TX are encouraged to take home books to read. One of the books your child brings home will be a book from a structured reading scheme which will be labelled as BB followed by a level. Please can you check that your child only has ONE of these reading books at home. If you have any extra books at home, they must be brought back to school by the end of this week.

So that we can monitor the books more carefully, children can no longer change reading books from the structured reading scheme before or after school. This will happen during school time and children will need to sign in and out books or they will be changing books under adult supervision.

It is important that we have enough books for all children to take home and I appreciate your support in this matter.

If you have any queries please contact me.

Year 6 students have been using mind mapping software in ICT and manipulating ideas with the intent of developing an aide memoire for digital citizenship at Tu Xuong Campus.








Today each group took their 6 best slogans or phrases and worked with these in Publisher to create the digital citizenship poster. The students are working really well collaborating, creating and communicating with each other, putting together some powerful messages.




Next week Jinee from BIS graphics and design department will come to talk through the finer details of design to improve the authentics of the messages on the poster, so the created posters will be powerful, eyecatching and delivering a strong message around our campus.

Making Pingu with F3

This morning, Year 6 and F3 children had a blast making Pingu from plasticine.Year 6 children had proved that they are capable of helping and guiding the younger children. At the end, F3 children were delightful that they have an army of  "Pingu" penguins to accompany them for rest of the week.





Two mysterious "Pingu" are hiding among Year 6. Did you see them?

International Flag Parade

Year 6 Inspiration

Year 6 students have been using a mind mapping/ brain storming / planning programme called Inspiration to create, collate, and manipulate their ideas towards our new digital citizenship aide memoire. Today both classes, used the mind map
side of the software to record their statements. This was quite a difficult challenge as we tried to take a negative statement eg Don't hack and turn it into a positive statement eg Hacking is horrendous



Using the mind mapping part of Inspiration allocates a coloured strand to every statement written. This is a useful tool for grouping and collating similar statements and a very useful tool for the students who are visual learners. The colours help the brain to visualise, to learn and to group. Great work today Year 6
