A Review of Fieldstone's First Year Implementation of the Cambridge Programme (CIE)

By Duncan Jones, Cambridge Programme Facilitator

Our first experiences with the Cambridge Programme at

Fieldstone were very positive. The teachers learned a lot about integrating the two curricula (Cambridge and Ontario), teaching an enriched programme, and having the students write external Cambridge examinations. The Cambridge Programme is definitely a worthwhile addition to Fieldstone’s academic excellence. This year’s experience puts us in a good position as we move forward with the broader implementation of the Programme.

This year, eight courses integrated the Cambridge curriculum with the corresponding Ontario curriculum: the full six courses of the Checkpoint programme in Grades Seven and Eight (Mathematics, English and Science), IGCSE Mathematics in Grade Ten, and AS Level Chemistry in Grade Eleven. In general, the two curricula can be matched up quite well, with Cambridge tending to go into more detail, and adding additional topics relative to the corresponding Ontario curriculum. Focusing

primarily on the Cambridge curriculum, and then reviewing and amending the teaching plans to incorporate the additional, Ontario-specific outcomes, proved to be an effective and successful strategy.

The consensus of the five teachers that taught Cambridge

courses this year (some taught more than one) was that the courses were indeed more challenging and were slanted more towards a higher-order thinking. This resulted in interesting, engaging and enjoyable lessons (although it’s tough to get many of the students

to admit it.) Given the additional detail and topics covered by the Cambridge curricula, the overall pace of the teaching needed to be stepped up as well. Fortunately, all of the textbooks were well-written and supported the curricula. As always, it was important that the teachers slowed down on tougher concepts, and resume

their pace during the material that the students grasped more quickly. Formative assessments,

checking on the students’ understanding; through questions in class, homework, and problem sets were also very beneficial.

In May and June, fifteen Cambridge papers (parts of a complete examination) were written. The Grade Eight Students wrote two Mathematics and two English papers and found them to be just about right - not too hard, nor too easy. About half of the Grade Ten Students wrote three Mathematics papers, which were quite tough, especially “Paper Six” which involved an investigation and a modeling question. I prepared the answer sheet for this paper and it did demand significant, higher-order thinking. The Grade Eleven Chemistry Students wrote a 45’ multiple choice paper, a 135’ short-answer paper and undertook a 120‘ laboratory/practical exam, in which they had to perform three experiments, record their observations, and do some calculations. Again, the written papers were proven to be quite difficult. The students enjoyed and performed well on the laboratory exam. The many labs that they carried out during the year, as well as the full-day, mock practical, were key to their success. Two Grade Twelve Students also volunteered to write the two AS Level English papers, involving four essay questions - we’ll see what the external reviews thought when the official results come back in early August. What we learned from these first, formal examinations included: • all the very formal and strict examination procedures (we even had a very positive, external audit during the second Grade Ten Math paper). • the Cambridge-style of testing, which is hard to describe, but tends toward more application, and thinking based on a strong base of knowledge and understanding. • how to better prepare our students for these examinations,

through ongoing assessments and review during the year in the “Cambridge style.”

All in all, it was a great year for Cambridge at Fieldstone. I want to thank those teachers and students who took on the challenge. The Cambridge Programme has shown itself to be well worth the effort. It certainly prepares our students well for University and beyond. To kick off the start of school next year, we have plans to bring in a trainer from Cambridge (from the UK) for additional, onsite training. This training, and our experience so far, will assist the rest of the Upper School staff as we move into the second phase of our Cambridge implementation, involving not only Grades Seven and Eight, but also the majority of courses taught at the Grades Nine and Eleven levels.

The University of Cambridge’s Secondary School Programme (enriched curricula and external examinations), more formally known as the University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), offers a broad range of internationally recognized qualifications, patterned on the British A and GCSE, formally O, levels.This Programme includes:• The Checkpoint Math, Science and English curricula.• The Grade 9 &10 ICE diploma requiring 7 IGCSE (“Ig-see”) credits.• The Grade 11 & 12 AICE diploma requiring a total of six credits from the Advanced Subsidiary (AS) and double-credit Advanced (A) Level courses.

I’d like to speak to you today about CHANGE. People tend to dislike change, but nothing

is permanent; life will always continue to change. As much as we hate to admit it, sometimes change is a very necessary part of life.

If life did not change, it would be pretty bleak. Imagine living the same day, each day, over and over, learning the same things over and over, having the same conversations over and over, eating the same foods over and over. Even our favourite things would soon become insufferable after awhile.

We experience tiny and monumental changes throughout our lives. At this time of the year, change can mean a new classroom, a new teacher, a new friend, or even a new school. I’d like you all to think for a moment about

where you were last year at this time…maybe a grade younger, sitting a few rows closer to the stage. Maybe you were at a different school. Maybe you were even at day care, or not at school at all, if you’re one of our kindergarten students, or maybe you were even living in an entirely different country.

Think of all the changes you have made since last June, even since this September!• Changes to what you know – for example, how everything is made out of atoms, or how to balance a chemical equation• Changes to what you can do – for example, how to tie your shoes by yourself, or staying away from home for a few nights in Montreal, but without mom and dad.• Changes to friendships – for example, the importance of saying kind things as much as possible, or how to stand up for someone in need• Changes to the responsibility you have – for example, doing your homework without being asked, or studying for your first set of exams all on your own. See…change is not so bad. BUT…change sure can be difficult. What we don’t like about change is the unknown. It can be scary when you don’t know what to expect. Sometimes things don’t go the way we thought they would, or we have to adjust how we’ve

always done things. Or, we are upset that things can’t just stay the same.

We may feel out of sorts until we accept the change that has happened, and the fact that it is inevitable, and part of life…and that nothing is permanent. Keep in mind that something positive will come from change…even when it’s difficult. Change always creates or brings forth something positive, even from difficult or challenging situations. Inevitably, you will learn something new or valuable, you will receive a new opportunity, someone new will come into your life…something good will come from the change.

So, while nothing is permanent, and life is always changing, there ARE some things that are, and will always remain constant in life…• Your parents’ love• The importance of laughter and friendship• Taxes(!)With regards to Fieldstone, no matter what grade you are in now, or where you will be next year, the following things will remain constant and unchanged…• The teachers and administration will always remember you and hold you in a special place in their hearts. (Dear graduates, you will forever be my fabulous Grade Fours.)• Fieldstone will always consider you family• Fieldstone will always welcome you with open arms

Grade Six Graduates - you are poised for change, and I have no doubt that you will meet each challenge life brings you with success.• You possess a truly amazing knowledge base, and I am confident you could rival any Jeopardy contestant with all the cool information you have acquired during your time at Fieldstone.• You know what it means to be a good person. Not only ARE you characters, you have character.• You are scholars, artists, musicians, philanthropists, and all-around outstanding young people, and THAT, I know, will never change!

Head of Lower School's Address to the Grade Six Graduates at the Lower School Awards Ceremony

CURRICULUM


The graduation ceremony for the Class of 2011 was held in the Regency Ballroom

at the Granite Club. One hundred family members and friends celebrated this final chapter at Fieldstone, and a new beginning for each graduate. We would like to thank all of the special guests who travelled from abroad to attend this momentous occasion. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed this unforgettable evening.

Fieldstone congratulates David P. for being elected by his teachers and peers as the valedictorian. Below is his valedictorian address:

The past week has been very busy. This can be attributed to exams but in my case I also had to prepare a speech that would be meaningful. It had to reflect my experiences at Fieldstone, but most importantly reflect all of you.

I am so honoured to have been chosen to be the Valedictorian of this year’s graduating class.

I came to Fieldstone in Grade 4 and have been here ever since. I’ll never forget my first day at Fieldstone. At the time, I wasn’t very happy to have changed schools. My mother asked me to give it one month to see if I liked it. It only took one week for me to tell her that she had made the right decision.

Now, had I known at the time that I would have been subjected to Mrs. Mao constantly taunting me by telling me I failed (before she even marked my tests), and Mr. Swetnam imitating and mocking me, I probably would have given it a little more thought before making my decision.

All joking aside, Fieldstone has prepared us with knowledge, communication skills, and belief in ourselves. The greatest gift of all is the feeling of self-confidence.

As I reflect on this past year, I can’t help but think of the great friendships, the candid conversations with the teachers, a great trip to Boston, and a lot of homework.

The best memory, however, is the time spent with my friends, helping each other reach this moment, a moment where we feel pride in what we’ve accomplished, gratitude for those who helped us get here, and relief for actually doing it.

I can’t say enough about the group of guys and girls graduating alongside me. Three words come to mind: intelligence, drive, and integrity.

They are obviously an intelligent set of individuals, or we wouldn’t be sitting here today; their drive to succeed is best illustrated in how they handled all that was expected of them, without ever losing sight of their goal; and integrity is a quality expressed quite frequently in this group as:

you could always count on any one of us to do the right thing. Over the course of this school year, this group has become very closely knit, to the point where we can call ourselves a family. Everyone looks out for each other, and good times are always in abundance.

I’ve seen a lot of people come and go throughout my years at Fieldstone, but I’m truly pleased to be able to say that we all graduated together, a bond that we will always share.

Next, I’d like to extend a very big thank-you to Ms. Parody for helping us through the nightmare that is the university application process, and, most importantly, for putting up with our parents. We feel your pain.

Thank you to our parents, grandparents, and family members for giving us their love and support, and for ensuring that we stayed on-track. The senior year of high school is one that is tough to get through on your own, so it’s always nice to have people around you who always have your back.

Lastly, I’m sure I speak for all of us when I say that I am excited about the next phase of our lives, albeit a bit nervous as well. I know, however, that each of us will continue to work towards our goals and dreams with a belief that anything is

Class of 2011 Graduation

CURRICULUM


For a principal, graduation is the best event of the year (and it’s not because

the Grade Twelves are leaving!) It is so great to see the students reap the rewards of their hard work and head off to university.

Although you may feel tired of high school, and are looking forward to the next 4 years, I know, like the rest of us, you will want to re-live and return to your high school years again and again. (To the audience) We all want to be back in high school. I’ve heard many colleagues and friends say; "if I could only go back, knowing what I know now. It would be so easy!" "High school was so much fun, do you remember when………...or, that was so embarrassing when so and so………." You can all fill in the blanks here. We all remember those special memories fondly.

But why do we remember these events so well? High school is difficult. (To the graduates) You may think it was easy, or strange, or not worth while. Please know that high school is no small challenge. You have been faced with making new friends, getting through tough times with teachers, multitasking thousands of assignments, learning completely new material, facing

tremendous social pressure, or living with a principal that always gives you a hassle for a hat worn or ladder carried. That’s extremely difficult for anyone to live with. So, why was it so good? Well, for a couple of reasons, but mostly because you survived.

Please remember that important point as you move forward with your education and your career. It is those “survival” environments and situations, the ones that are the most difficult, that enable you to bond with people, understand your potential, and allow you to feel success. Be thankful for those challenges, as awful and as horrible they may have seemed, for it is when we get through challenges that we really know who we are, what we like, and what we value.

Our 2011 graduates have done much more than survive. Not only have you performed at an outstanding level, and gained entrance into top programmes and universities, but you have also accomplished some of life’s greatest challenges. These include starting Fieldstone in Grade Twelve while learning English, or just being here since Grade Three, playing every sport offered, and excelling at those sports,

to trying brand-new sports for the very first time. Some have survived serious bouts of "senioritis", and have discovered tremendous talents for talking themselves through any situation! Some may discover in the future that they actually should have been on the payroll for all the AV work they did. Some realized new career paths, such as photography and art. And all have discovered interesting areas of study for the future.

Those challenges, the ones that are the most difficult, will create those special memories, just like high school did. Therefore, I am asking you today to keep living like you are in still high school, but with one, small modification: Take every challenge as a blessing, a silver lining. A good memory. Be not only thankful for the challenges, but create a motto to go out and find challenges, because once you have survived high school you can survive anything.

You have been an outstanding group of graduates and Fieldstone will miss you greatly. You are always welcome back to your high school.

French writer Hilaire Belloc once said:

“From quiet homes

and first beginnings,

to the undiscovered

ends, there’s nothing

worth the wear of

winning, but laughter

and the love of

friends.”

Lower School Students Gain Confidence in French Through the AIM Method

At Fieldstone Day School, French is taught using the Accelerative Integrated Method (AIM).

AIM is a systematic approach to the teaching of a second language. Its goal is to help teachers effectively lead students to much higher levels of confidence and fluency in a second language than might otherwise be possible through other communicative approaches.

Drama is, in fact, an extremely significant part of AIM. Through the use of simple stories, which

are dramatized in the form of live-action theatre, the second language is taught in a contextualized form. The children that follow this programme are learning one play per year, repeating and dramatizing it in a variety of ways, and eventually are performing it for parents, teachers and other students as part of the curriculum.

All classes perform the learned play on French Day. Parents and teachers work together to make French Day a true celebration of learning.

This year’s performances included:Grade One – “La poule Maboule”Grades Two and Three – “Les trois petits cochons”Grade Four – “Louis la grenouille” Grade Five – “Chat Angora”Grade Six – “Veux-tu aller au Carnaval?”French Day ended with a French feast; that included croissants,

French cheese, etc. French Day this year was a lot of fun. The students worked very

hard and they did an extraordinary job.Again, a big MERCI BEAUCOUP! to all the parents for all the

contributions, help and support.

October 1st, 2011, I can still see the moment of good-bye with

just 15 years old girl at the Incheon International Airport in Korea. Steve Jobs, CEO of the Apple company was anxious about the fact that he had to tell his kids everything he had thought he would have the next ten years to tell them in just a few months when

he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I did not say anything to my daughter who was supposed to live apart

at the place where language and culture are totally different. Rather, I can't..... I really didn't know what is important and what is helpful to her.

In her life of studying abroad started like that, the most difficult point to both my daughter and I was derived from the unexpected. Of course, I and my husband could not neglect financial difficulties, but sharing those agony with family in order to provide her with better opportunities is rather endurable than we had expected. However, the most painful thing is the problem of communication with my daughter. Cultural differences between the Eastern and the Western made both the parents and my daughter embarrass. We all needed lots of trial and errors for her to accept Canadian good culture remaining her Korean cultural identity. The patience on so many uncertainties sourced from living in Canada was also required to her parents looking the whole process beside her and it was an absolutely uneasy progress.

Under this circumstance, what we needed most was to enter into a candid conversation with her, open minded. Whenever I made an

diagnosed with a variety of learning and attention disorders. She helped them understand their diagnoses, develop useful strategies, organize their time, and prepare for tests. Her passion for helping students of different abilities motivated her to return to school and become a teacher. She completed her Bachelor of Education at York University, and has been teaching languages ever since.

She currently teaches French to elementary students using AIM (Accelerative Integrated Method), a systematic approach to the teaching of a second language. She believes that the AIM method, paired with the integration of technology, improves student retention, attention to class lessons, and participation in class activities and discussions. Alejandra also teaches Spanish to students from Grade Nine to Grade Eleven. Her goal is to gain the knowledge and experience required to work with students of all ages, and at all levels of learning.

Robert FosterRobert Foster is a graduate of the

Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) where he specialized in History

and Politics for the Intermediate/Senior level. In addition to these subject areas, Mr.

Foster teaches English Literature, Geography, Guitar, and English as a Second Language. In

September, he will be teaching Grades Seven, Eight and Ten English, Grade Ten Computer Programming, and Grades Eight and Ten Guitar.

Having grown up in Angola, Africa, Mr. Foster frequently infuses his international background into his lessons, integrating a passion for the world with an equal enthusiasm for Canada.

Among other teaching experiences, Mr. Foster has had the privilege of running an international school (a small schoolhouse in

Angola, with thirteen students of diverse nationalities, languages and ages), teaching Grades Eleven and Twelve English Literature, establishing a music school and program at an Angolan church, tutoring guitar, camp counseling, providing job skills training under Ontario’s Worker Safety Inspection Board, and teaching at University of Toronto Schools (UTS) and Ursula Franklin Academy (UFA) for his Teacher’s College practicums.

Above all, Mr. Foster is passionate about teaching and passionate about his students. Success for him is not measured by any salary or by how many students get A’s in his classes. It is measured in larger, perhaps less quantitative terms: by the positive, affirming, and empowering impact that Mr. Foster hopes he instills in his students on a daily basis.

On the afternoon of June 1st, the students of the Upper School participated in the 2nd annual Fieldstone Olympics. The

House teams of Fox, Richler, Peterson, and Carr took part in events to see which House would claim supremacy for the 2010-2011 school year. The teams participated in the Platform Challenge, Frisbee Toss, Basketball Shooting Relay, Neck-to-Neck Relay, Soccer Relay, and Name that Tune. All of the events encouraged the students to work together to accomplish a particular goal.

The spirit, sportsmanship, teamwork, and competitive drive of the teams were evident throughout the afternoon. The winner of the competition was Peterson with 425 points. Second place went to Carr. Fox finished in third place, and fourth place went to Richler.

A big thank you goes out to all of the staff who helped to organize the teams and events during the event.

Until next year……….

international telephone call with my daughter, I really felt I needed a communication skills and it would be same to her. There was a situation we had to flatly say "no" based on Korean culture and sometimes we had to admit the fact that "the no" was wrong and improper in view of Canadian culture. In that process, we all had to experience so many trial and errors. Moreover, 8 months since her study abroad started was short considering our long life, but 8 months to the teen ages was a period of tremendous growth. As we didn't stand next to her during the 8months, we made a mistake judging her compared to her past life while spending in Korea and it hurt to each other during this process. Under this circumstance we got a great help around us. HELP as it used to be was provided to us from the place we never expected. Fieldstone was our final shelter keeping a dream of the whole family. We would like to say the deepest appreciation to the Fieldstone teachers and staffs who offered warm-hearted mind, individual consideration and new opportunities for her. Specially we also would like to express our utmost thanks to the new homestay family providing her with a psychological stability. They probably may don't know how much we were in confusion and how much we were tired of it.... Now, 8 months have passed we are also experiencing difficulties from the problems of communication with her. But, having the belief that those difficulties are the process of becoming global citizen, we have a different kind of perseverance. And we will put forth our efforts to understand my daughter and the great helpers connecting the ideals with the realties. Thanks a bunch!!!

The Upper School Party of Year: Prom 2011

Fashion, food, dancing, the candy station, the limousines and the after-party; there was so much to talk about after the Upper

School party of the year: Prom 2011. All the students and staff chaperones looked exquisite in their suits and dresses! For years, short dresses were the trend; however, many of the young ladies wore evening gowns this year. Even the male attendees were conscious of matching their dates by wearing complementing colour shirts or ties. If Joan Rivers and her fashion police had attended Fieldstone’s Prom, she would be giving “two-thumbs up” for everyone who attended.

After dinner, Jonah, Graham, Luca, Mohammed, and David kick-started the party with their “swag” performance, and shortly after, everyone joined them. Everything about the evening was perfect, which made Prom 2011 an unforgettable night. Thank you to Arkady S, Nazli S and the Upper School Prefects for organizing Prom 2011.
