29 July 2022 - Special Moments From Our Students

In this end of term communication, I would like to highlight the special moments where our students showcased their outstanding talents and abilities. I am truly proud of our students, all actively participating in so many activities and initiatives. Our last two Friday assemblies showed the discipline and rigour of our taekwondo experts and the impressive choreography of our dancers. While on the subject of performances, the main highlight would most surely be the TIS Puchong and TIS Kuala Lumpur collaborative concert which raised more than RM15000 for charity.

The auditorium was magical, with the starry backdrop and the amazing ensemble of the orchestra. As I was enjoying every part of the show, I could envision our young performers taking their talents to the next level, perhaps at the West End world stage one day. There were actors, Chinese drummers, Malay martial arts dancers, a jazz ballerina, pianists and so many more mersmerising acts that wowed all who braved the thunderstorms to show their support.

Also in this last week of term, there have been so many wonderful activities across all the year groups. The children have been sharing with their teachers about their holiday plans and everyone is excited to have their own class celebrations dressed in party outfits. We had our ‘Pyjama Day’ where the children came to school dressed in their favourite pyjamas, accompanied with their sleeping companions like cuddly teddies and bedtime story books. It is always such a delight to have days like these where the children have so much fun sharing something brought from home.
For IPC, we have had Exit Points in Early Years where the children were learning about different toys from the past and how they have evolved to become present day innovative games. They invited Year 1 and Year 2 to the EY area which was filled with fun activities like skittles, fishing for rubber ducks and trying their hand on the spinning tops. It was most exciting and the little ones also helped in the donation drive to Toy Libraries Malaysia.

In KS2, children investigated the different living conditions in the ‘Island Life’ unit, learning about the dangers that inhabitants face on volcanic, barrier and coral islands. Students have now become brilliant young explorers with map skills to locate different regions on the atlas and they brainstormed ways of maintaining sustainability for people living in areas with scarce resources. There was also a charity drive to collect and donate clothes in an effort to reduce, reuse and recycle.

Other year groups were equally busy with their own activities. There was the ‘Land, Sea and Sky’ unit where students learned how living things adapt to different surroundings. There were also guest speakers from World Vision who spoke to our young global citizens about the importance of clean water for all, and following that, students went on a trip to the River Resource Centre at Sungai Klang to study the quality of our river waters.

Lastly, I would like to say thank you to Ms Cally who will be leaving TIS Puchong as she relocates with her family, Ms Zara who is pursuing different opportunities and Ms. Wee who will be focusing on other goals. We wish them both the best of luck in their future endeavours.

Till our next newsletter, have a wonderful term break and I look forward to hearing about holiday adventures from the children when they return.
