Whale sharks sight seeing.

On the 27th of March my family and I went on a whale shark sight seeing. We had fun snorkelling in the ocean. On our first day we went, we woke up at 5:30am to get ready, and at 6:00am we went down to room 121 to have breakfast. When we were done, we went back to our rooms to get our snorkelling gear and our other stuff. We walked all the way down to the end of the drive way to the boat it was a triple decker. It had a prayer room and a sleeping room which had beds, and on the top it was a lounge area. We started sailing to find whale sharks. It took a long time to find them so we stopped and snorkelled around the reefs. We were allowed to jump off the boat into the water. I was maybe the first kid to jump offend boat. We snorkelled and saw wonderful fish. When we got back on the boat we dried off and relaxed. Soon Dr.Jesse gave us a decision to snorkel here or go to an island close by so people chose to go to the island close by, and we did. We could snorkel there or go by boat I chose to snorkel and I do not know what my other family members chose. When we got to the island we wondered around finding things. When we were done we went back to the boat and dried off. We sailed back to the hotel went to our rooms, had a shower had dinner and went back to our rooms and went to bed

The next day we did the something, in the morning I found a eels body, but the head was missing and the body was just floating around.when we were sailing  we did not find any whale sharks on the first so we stopped for a snorkel and we got to jump off the boat again and this time I jump off the roof top into the water, it was so cool, and guess what I was the first child to jump off the roof top. Then we did the snorkel again but the tide was too strong so we got pulled by a boat. Them a few kids started jumping off the second floor and it was awesome. Then we had lunch and sailed back to our hotel. People on the boat couldn't spot any whale sharks, so on the way back people got to swim with manta rays. When people where done we sailed back to the hotel had a shower and had dinner got our laugh age and went back to the bus and the bus took us back to KAUST

On this snorkelling trip was fun and it enjoyed it, a big thanks to the people who organised the trip.

The Begging of The PYP 2015 Exhibition.


Emailing Mentors.


Last week, the fifth grade students have started the PYP 2015 Exhibition. The first thing that we had to do we had to email our mentors ( mentors are teachers who help student understand their topic that their doing). The whole fifth grade students had to write a formal letter to their mentors. Soon we had finish writing our letter to our mentor we had to wait for them to reply. Once they have replayed they also added when they could meet.

Topics  

In fifth grade they usually do single topics and if you have the same topics as some on else you can partner up or go solo. In 2015 the fifth grade classes have to the same topic. In 5CM ( grade 5 Caitlin McQuaid) we got to do votes for a topic. Most people chose Environmental and Marine Life. The topic that I am doing is marine life and it is about Sharks or maybe something else.
