Teacher Comment

Karmanya worked hard on understanding the various concepts taught this term in Science, he enjoyed learning about the
process of the rock cycle and demonstrated his learning by explaining how volcanoes erupt and what happens to the rocks
with some support. During the process of pollination and learning about plants Karmanya did his best with using some
scientific vocabulary to explain his understandings, similarly with forces and magnetism, as he explored magnetic poles
and how friction works. With experiments, Karmanya was an inquisitive learner when looking at different hypotheses and
coming up with reasonings. He was able to go through the process of the scientific method with little support. He tries to
understand the purpose of each experiment and its outcome.

Karmanya has explored various genres of writing this term, he enjoyed exploring narratives and persuasive writing, as he
had to gather information to be able to write different features of these texts such as introductions, body and conclusions.
He is a strong reader and enjoyed reading aloud to others with improved expression and confidence during our Guided
Reading sessions. Karmanya mostly enjoyed learning about poetry as he wrote cinquain and haiku poems and displayed
various features in his own poem by showcasing rhymes, alliteration and similes. He should continue to focus on his time
management and being able to complete his work to the best of his abilities within the allocated time given to him by
adding more grammatical concepts taught such as superlatives, adverbials, and metaphors.

Teacher Comment

Karmanya works collaboratively with his teacher in order to raise his attainment in Arabic. Karmanya can often understand some
information out of simple sentences in personal and social contexts. His conversation is limited to familiar topics related to his
personal life, direct environment, interests and needs. He can also respond to simple and direct questions or information requests
with clear sentences, but cannot keep up the same level of performance at all times. In reading, Karmanya can understand simple
and predictable words, phrases and sentences using words he learned previously. In writing, he can express simple and limited
practical needs by writing short, simple sentences on familiar descriptive topics.

Karmanya showed commitment to learning the Arabic language by persevering and working regularly and responsibly. He
participated actively during the lessons and always made sure to complete the tasks provided on Seesaw.

In Moral, Social and Cultural studies our students have been engaged in understanding the social, economic, and political

their feelings, and the importance of teamwork. In addition, a lot of time was spent on identifying our strengths and how
resilience teaches us to learn from our mistakes.

Physical Education ME 4

Teacher Comment

During Term 1 students in year 3 were able to work on developing different components of Fitness which included:
Endurance, power, speed and flexibility as well as beginning to gain an understanding of what happens to our bodies
before and during exercise. Students were also able to progress in their invasion game skills whilst focusing on Football.
They were able to improve their passing, attacking and defending skills whilst gaining an understanding of the basic rules
of Football. They were able to improve their passing, attacking and defending skills whilst gaining an understanding of the
basic rules of Football. The start of term 2 students were engaged with our Athletics unit which involved throwing, running
over a short and long distance and jumping. This then led to high preparation and success for Sports Day. Throughout the
year students in Year 3 have had the exciting opportunity to access our Swimming Pool and have been looking at the three
basic Swimming strokes. They have also engaged in a short Personal survival unit, whereby students have been learning
how to gain water confidence and how to perform fundamental survival skills with peers.

Karmanya has a willingness to push himself outside of his comfort zone and take on new challenges. He has shown that he
is making positive strides towards improving their overall performance within PE. Karmanya has demonstrated resilience
throughout the year and should be proud of all they have achieved. It has been a pleasure to teach Karmanya, keep up all
your hard work and enthusiasm.

Drama

Effort Attainment

Drama AE 4

Teacher Comment

In Year 3 Drama, students began the year by focusing on character analysis, learning to understand the different aspects
that make up a character in a play. They also studied the art of puppetry, creating their own sock puppets and using them
to write and perform their own plays. Towards the end of the year, students researched different countries and portrayed
locals who would persuade someone to visit their country. Overall, the year was filled with creativity and confidence-
building activities, allowing students to explore different forms of expression, and develop their own unique skills.

It is unfortunate that Karmanya did not accomplish much in Drama class this year, but it's important to understand that this
 Karmanya Jain Ankit Jain PYP Academic Report 2022 - 2023

is mainly due to not completing the required work (throughout the year). As a result, Karmanya may have missed out on
opportunities to learn new skills, and explore his creative side. In order to make progress and achieve success, it is
important that Karmanya dedicate time and effort towards his studies. While it may be challenging to stay motivated, it's
essential to remember that practice and hard work are the key to success. With hard work and dedication, I am sure that
Karmanya can accomplish great things, and reach his full potential in the future.

Music

Effort Attainment

Music ME 5

Teacher Comment

Throughout terms 2 and 3, Year 3 students began to develop a more sophisticated sense of rhythm and timing and were
able to maintain a steady beat while playing or singing. They showed great enthusiasm accompanying “Contradandanse
No.5” with different Percussion instruments, and playing rhythm games in the “Clap song”. They also developed some ear-
training skills by singing the welcome song “Laugh, Ha, Ha” in canon, and “It’s all about the Beat “as a choir in unison.
Students were able to sight-read simple rhythm lines and identify notes’ value, beats, and tempo. Year 3 students finally
expressed themselves through body percussion and Percussion instruments in “Carmina Burana” by Carl Orff and
demonstrated great skills in working collaboratively with others.

They are more than ready to dig into the musical world of Year 4!

Karmanya has demonstrated an excellent sense of rhythm and timing and consistently maintains a steady beat while
playing and singing. In group activities this year, he has shown great enthusiasm and has contributed significantly to the
group's progress. Karmanya is a positive role model for his peers. Well done on a very successful year!

Teacher Comment

During this academic year, year 3 students expressed their personal preferences and interests in relation to engaging in art
activities. They displayed their imaginative and creative abilities through various art projects, demonstrating their aptitude
for the subject. The students delved into different geometric shapes by studying historical monuments and structures,
further expanding their understanding of art. Additionally, they developed a proficiency in using tools, materials, and artistic
conventions in a manner that was appropriate for each project.

Karmanya has a solid understanding of proportion and is able to apply this concept effectively in his artwork. His pieces
demonstrate a keen sense of balance and proportion, with elements positioned in a way that feels visually pleasing and
aesthetically satisfying.
