          • Project Based Learning (PBL) Pack for Gr 1-3:

          • How Animals Spread Seeds:

            Grades 1 through 3 will begin their PBL Pack next week and work together on the Driving Question: How can you design a model to show how animals move seeds? Ms. Astri met with them yesterday to share some of the details of activity. Parents will be recieiving their own info pack with timetable details tomorrow.



            ​​​​​​​

            The Problem

            Did you ever wonder how animals help move seeds? They might not even know they are doing it! Imagine a place with no plants. The area is too far away to plant seeds yourself. You need some help from nature to move seeds. The seeds must travel to a safe, new place to grow into plants. How can you design a seed so that an animal can bring it to this new place? You may not move the seeds with your hands.

            Project Objectives

            When we finish our project, we will be able to:

            - Understand the different ways that seeds move to new places

            - Describe how animals help seeds move

            - Build a model to show how animals help seeds move

            - Create a presentation

          • S1 Exams during Covid -19 Pandemic

          • Dari meja Kepala Sekolah:

            Sehubungan dengan pemahaman saat ini bahwa banyak siswa kami mengalami tekanan sebagai akibat dari Pandemik Global Covid 19 dan gangguan ini telah mempengaruhi belajar mereka.

            Ms Kerry menganggap "tidak adil" untuk menguji pembelajaran siswa untuk waktu ini.

            Banyak siswa Permata Bangsa yang kesulitan untuk sepenuhnya terlibat di pembelajaran melalui ruang kelas Zoom. Banyak siswa yang malu dan mengalami "kegelisahan yang tinggi" ketika melihat dan mendengar mereka di ruang kelas zoom. Kegelisahan mempengaruhi konsentrasi dan sehingga pembelajaran menjadi terganggu untuk para siswa ini.

            Kepala sekolah, bekerjasama dengan panitia ujian, telah memutuskan bahwa tidak adil untuk menguji atau membuat rapor sumatif untuk tujuan pemberian nilai pembelajaran siswa pada saat ini; namun demikian, panitia ujian sangat percaya bahwa sangatlah penting untuk mengidentifikasi pencapaian pembelajaran setiap siswa dan celah demikian juga kemajuan pengajaran  PBI untuk semester 1. Hal ini akan memungkinkan kami mengevaluasi dan mengatur rencana pembelajaran ke depan dengan tujuan untuk menutupi celah di pembelajaran siswa yang disebabkan oleh Pandemi Global Covid 19.

            Wali kelas telah diminta untuk menghubungi orang tua siswa untuk menjelaskan situasi tersebut secara lebih rinci.

            Instruksi kepala sekolah kepada staff pengajar PBS:

            1. Berikan kesempatan/kegiatan yang bebas stres bagi siswa untuk menantang diri mereka sendiri selama minggu ujian biasa. Sekolah Dasar & Sekolah Menengah Pertama harus dengan persetujuan Orang Tua.
            2. Tidak ada siswa yang memperoleh nilai Semester 1 di bawah nilai tahun akademik 2018-19 (pra-covid). Hasil akhir akan dimusyawarahkan dengan orang tua /siswa saat pertemuan guru dan orang tua.
            3. Perencanaan masa depan:
              1. Bandingkan Progres Laporan pengajaran /pembelajaran untuk S1 2020/21 dengan S1 2018/19.
              2. Identifikasi area yang tidak tercakup tahun ini sebagai akibat dari pengurangan waktu mengajar.
              3. Siapkan perencanaan “menutup celah” untuk S2-2020 / 21 hingga S1-2021 / 21.
              4. Bertemu dengan kelompok guru di sektor masing-masing selama masa pertemuan kolaborasi S2 untuk merencanakan ILP bagi siswa.

             

          • PBS Exams during Covid-19 Pandemic

          • From the Principal's Desk:

             

            Due to the current understanding that many of our students are experiencing stress as a result of the Covid-19 global pandemic and the disruption this has caused to their studies, Ms Kerry deems it “Unfair” to examine student learning during this time.

            Many of the PBI students are finding it extremely difficult to fully engage in learning via a Zoom classroom environment. Many are quite shy and experience “high anxiety” at seeing or hearing themselves in the zoom classroom. Anxiety impacts concentration and thus learning is impaired for these students. 

            The Principal, in collaboration with the examination committee, have decided that it is “unfair” to  examine/summative report on for the purpose of grading student learning at this time; however, the committee does believes it vital to identify student’s individual learning accomplishments and gaps as well as PBI teaching progressions for Semester 1.  This will allow us to evaluate and organise future learning plans for the purpose of bridging gaps in student learning due the Covid-19 Global Pandemic.

            Class teachers have been instructed to contact the parents of their students to explain the situation in more detail.

            Principal’s instruction to PBS teaching team:

            1. Provide stress free opportunities/activities for students to challenge themselves during the usual examination week. Primary & Lower Secondary must be with Parent consent.
            2. No student is to have their Sem 1 result fall below their 2018-19 grade report (pre-covid).  Final results are to be negotiated with parent/student during your end of semester Parent/Teacher consultations.
            3. Future planning:
              1. Compare your teaching/learning Report Progressions for S1 2020/21 with S1 2018/19. 
              2. Identify areas that were not covered this year as a result of a reduction in delivery. 
              3. Prepare “gap” planning for S2-2020/21 through S1-2021/21.
              4. Meet in your sector’s planning group during S2 collaboration meetings to plan ILP for your students.

          • A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

          • Beberapa minggu ke depan, anda akan melihat peningkatan masalah perilaku dengan putra-putri anda. Entah itu protes, kemarahan atau kegelisahan karena mereka tidak bisa melakukan sesuatu dengan normal- hal itu akan terjadi. Anda akan melihat perilaku yang bersifat memberontak, kehilangan kontrol diri atau menjadi gampang marah di beberapa minggu ke depan nanti. Hal ini lumrah dan memang bisa terjadi di dalam kondisi semacam ini.Saya sedang mengatur jadwal untuk dapat mengadakan rapat dengan para ibu-ibu: “pengasuhan selama covidv 19: bagaimana membuat anak saya tetap sibuk”.

            Apa yang diperlukan putra-putri anda sekarang adalah perasaan nyaman dan disayang. Merasakan bahwa semuanya akan nenjadi OK. Jangan khawatir kalau mereka mundur dari pelajaran sekolah. Semua anak dalam kondisi yang sama dan semuanya tidak masalah. Ketika kita kembali ke kelas, kita semua akan mengarahkan kembali pelajaran mereka. Semua guru kita sudah trampil meghadapi masalah ini. Jangan berargumentasi dengan anak anda kenapa mereka tidak mau belajar matematika. Jangan memarahi mereka karena tidak mengikuti jadwal. Jangan meminta mereka belajar 2 jam kalau mereka menolaknya.Kami berharap dengan ikut Zoom Meeting anak-anak akan mendapatkan kegiatan yang menyenangkan yang akan mengalihkan pikiran mereka tentang kebosanan yang akan dihadapi beberapa minggu ke depan.

            Jika saya bisa mengatakan satu hal adalah hal ini: di akhir dari semua ini kesehatan mental putra-putri anda lebih penting dari pada ketrampilan akademik. Bagaimana perasaan mereka yang mereka rasakan saat ini akan tetap mereka rasakan sampai lama setelah ingatan tentang apa yang mereka lakukan selama minggu tersebut telah lama hilang. Jadi tolong camkan hal tersebut setiap harinya.

            Warmest Regards

            Ms Kerry

          • PBS Comes Together In Tough Times

          • Ms Kerry memberikan penghargaan yang sangat tinggi kepada semua orang tua yang baik, semua murid yang tekun dan para guru yang berdedikasi. Dukungan yang telah diterima selama 2 minggu terakhir sangat membantu sekali.

            50% dari staff pengajar sudah siap mengajar secara daring lewat Zoom. Setengah dari staf pengajar lainnya sedang dalam pelatihan dan akan siap di akhir minggu ini.

            Hari Senin dan Selasa kami sudah dapat memberikan program pembelajaran yang efektif kepada murid- murid kita dan saya sedang membuat jadwal hari Rabu saat ini.

            Ketika para staf pengajar yang tersisa siap memakai Zoom, kita akan dapat membuat dan mengunggah jadwal baru di Edupage dengan lebih baik. Diharapkan bisa di rilis akhir pekan ini jadi anda semua bisa mendapatkannya untuk program minggu depan.

            Murid yang ketinggalan pelajaran karena orang tua membutuhkan komputer untuk pekerjaan, akan  diberikan salinan video dari pelajaran tersebut.

            Terimkasih, sekali lagi,  untuk semua kerja keras dan dukungan yang sangat besar. Saya sangat bangga terhadap sekolah kita - kita benar-benar bersatu ketika situasi sedang sulit.

             

            Ms Kerry would like to send out a round of applause to all our wonderful Parents, tenacious Students and dedicated Teachers. The support our school has received during the past two weeks has been absolutely heart-warming.

            Fifty percent (50%) of the teaching staff are up and on line with you via Zoom. The second half are in training and should be ready by the end of the week. 

            Monday and Tuesday we were able to provide effective learning programmes to our students and I am building Wednesday's timetable at this very moment.

            As the rest of the teaching staff come on board Zoom, we will be better able to create and upload a new timetable to Edupage. It should be published this weekend so you will have it for next week’s programme.

            Students who miss their class because mom or dad need the computer for work, will be provided with a video copy of the lesson.

            Thank you, once again, for all the hard work and uplifting support. I am very proud of our school - we really come together when times get tough!
