11.. IInnttrroodduuccttiioonn Dear Parents,

We are nearing the end of our first ECA semester and we hope your children have enjoyed their activities so far. There will be some adjustment on ECA programme in Semester 2, please check the announcement of CEO Weekly Update 15/11/2019 and ECA/Bus Registration Changes from CAO. Having run through the TESmile enrolment process this semester we trust all parents are familiar with the system. However, for new parents to TES and parents that like to remind themselves of how it works, there are a couple of ways to understand the process:

The Enrolment Process: For new parents to TES and parents that need a quick reminder of how the enrolment process works, there are a couple of ways to understand the process:

1. TESmile - easy to use enrolment interface 2. Demonstration Video - Choose your ECAs on TESmile - walk through enrolment steps 3. Annual ECA Schedule - ECA day / time schedule + activity descriptions (this document) 4. ECA Charter - full procedures and rules of the programme

All of No.2-No.4 documents are located on TES website: https://taipeieuropeanschool.com/index.php?id=30

Thumbnail overview of the important items related to enrolment: The ECA enrolment is via a “preference ranking system” whereby parents will have an 6-day window to input their child’s ECA preferences. The preference ranking system is designed so that parents have time to discuss with their children what ECAs they like best and then rank them in their preferred order, with the goal that children will be able to participate in a number of ECAs they will enjoy.

The AOS payment system has been integrated into the TESmile system, allowing payment to be made automatically from your family AOS accounts. Please make sure you have put sufficient monies in your AOS account before you choose the ECAs on TESmile.

EPC ECA Enrolment schedule:

If you have any questions about ECAs, please contact the ECA department, located next to the uniform shop, behind reception at EPC. Thank you!

In this course, students will design more complex 3D environments, gain a deeper understanding of modeling and how it can be achieved using primitive shapes, and experience how their spaces can come alive through an introduction to programming three dimensional objects. With this, they will be able to create functional games and interactive projects. Students can truly explore, play and experience the 3D virtual realities they have designed.

World Scholar’s Cup Team Sem 2: Yr 5 - 6 / CM1 - CM2 / KL4

The World Scholar’s Cup is a Celebration of Learning!

It brings together many subjects, around an exciting theme. The World Scholar’s Cup ECA will focus on preparing teams of 3 (with a maximum of 5 teams) to participate in the regional (Taiwan) and then, hopefully later on in the Global Round. This year the Global Round is in Beijing. Last year it was in Kuala Lumpur. We’ll research, discuss and debate issues related to next year’s theme. This year’s theme is A World on the Margins.

How it works: The World Scholar’s Cup (WSC) is an international initiative. Every year, WSC releases its theme. Each theme is explored through various learning areas. In 2019, for example, the theme explored the following subject areas: • Special Area – Unsolved Mysteries • Science – Enabling Technologies • History – Neglected Histories • Literature - Voices from the Margins • Art & Music – Louder than Words • Social Studies – On The Edge if society

Thursday (3.10-4.10pm) NT$900 /sem

All those wanting to participate in the ECA are drawn from Year 5 and 6 children. They must have an acceptable level of English and be confident and articulate enough to publically persuade. They will be selected in consultation with their class teacher. The cost of travelling to and participating in the Regional and Global Rounds will be borne by participating children. (TBC in Semester 2) There is a SENIOR and a JUNIOR division. The junior division includes students up to 14 years old; though there is no bottom cut-off; most participants are at least 10.

(The students will be pre-selected by Mr. Norris in November 2019.) For more information, please visit:http://www.scholarscup.org/

WSC provides guideline material for exploring these learning areas in order to bring the theme alive. Teams of 3 explore these materials and then prepare to participate in a Regional (Taiwan) round against other schools in Taiwan. This is usually held in Kaohsiung in March every year. Most international schools in Taiwan participate in this. Participation centres around four team events: Team Debate; Scholar’s Bowl; Collaborative Writing and

Scholar’s Challenge.

Depending on our success, we may then be invited to a Global Round in the South East Asia area, usually taking place from around mid June to 1st July, for 5 days.
