Inference-time impact is the energy and water used when a user interacts with the AI, such as prompting a chatbot or generating an image. This is a more recent area of focus, also plagued by a lack of transparency and confusing information. Research comparing different AI tasks and model types provides valuable insight.

A key finding is that generative artificial intelligence systems, particularly multi-purpose models, are incredibly resource intensive compared to other technologies which may be better suited for the same job. For example, text generation models consume significantly more energy per inference than task-specific models like text

Looking at the broader picture, data centers currently account for 3% of global energy demand. Within this, AI is responsible for approximately 15% of data center energy demand, which translates to about 0.45% of overall global demand. This compares to crypto, which uses around 25% of data center energy, and social media/ data usage, which consumes most of the rest.

Celebrating Children’s Day in Japanese Classes – Primary and Secondary Japanese PTG and Zaia, 7M

PRIMARY SCHOOL -Japanese PTG To mark Japanese Children’s Day- Kodomo no Hi on May 5th, Primary students explored the traditions behind this national celebration—also known as Boys’ Day (with Girls’ Day held on March 3rd).

In both Beginner and Advanced Japanese classes, students made colorful koinobori (carp streamers) using origami after a fun quiz. Advanced students also shared personal stories about koinobori and kabuto (samurai helmets), and played “Newspaper Janken,” a fun game of balance using newspaper sheets.

T

here’s nothing better than finishing a busy Wednesday with a good book, cup of tea, informed conversations and a slice of cake – except, perhaps, the chance to meet the author behind the words. That’s exactly what happened in March, when Books and Cakes ECA read The Coast Road by author Alan Murrin.

Alana Mawal, Year 12, reflects:

“Being able to chat with Alan Murrin about ‘The Coast Road’ was a truly special experience. Hearing him walk us through his creative process, answer our many questions about the characters and explain how readers around the world relate to the story differently was both eye-opening and inspiring, giving us a much deeper appreciation for Set in 1990s rural Ireland, The Coast Road captivated the book.

Year10 Take a Shot and Phuket comes up on Top! Ana Bolakoso 10V, Tigers Sports Council

L

ast Friday, Year 10 students took to the court for a thrilling Inter-house Dodgeball competition, with all four houses bringing their A-game in the hopes of claiming victory.

Chang House fielded a unified team filled with fierce players. Their strategy was rooted in teamwork, encouragement, and bold plays. Standout moments included sharp communication from Sanja Rodel, impressive dodging by Maegan Si Hwei Tan, powerful throws from Frank Myers, and some game-changing catches by Martha Fricsay Myers and Praewa Chaisrisawatsuk.

Lanta House gave it their all, showing speed and determination from the first whistle. With quick thinking and fast-paced plays, they made every game a challenge.

Highlights included alert defensive work from Ella Hindle, Annika Vigoda, and Giorgia Romei; powerful throws by Lucas Gschliesser; high-energy performances from Arjan Hora; and a vital catch by Arnob Ghosh.

Samui House lived up to its strong reputation, playing with grit and determination throughout. Their teamwork and calculated moves on court helped them stay competitive in some tightly contested matches, leading to well-earned victories in several close rounds. Great throws from Leonor Hoppenbrouwers and Tanwaar Taylor, tactical plays from Eliana Maruniak, Suzie Bickford and Joshua Sansuni and stealthy yet effective plays from Jeanne Webert.

Phuket House, meanwhile, stormed the court with intensity. Their bold plays and relentless energy gave them the upper hand in many rounds. Standout performances included Mila Chakrabandhu’s powerful throws, a key catch by Aithy Leeswadtrakul, and strategic attacks from Arisyan Bagnouli and Jinwoo Kim. Their energy and coordination made them a force to be reckoned with.

Across the board, Year 10 demonstrated outstanding sportsmanship, honesty, and competitive spirit, making Miss Brown, the Y10 Tutors and the House Leaders proud. Thank you to the PE Teachers for setting up such a fun Inter-house. Congratulations to Phuket House on their well-deserved win!

Exploring Global Poetic Traditions

M

Students responded by crafting their own poetry collections, merging rich sensory details, poetic techniques and environmental awareness. Whether sketching imagery from a shaded pond, personifying forest creatures, or composing ekphrastic poems inspired by artwork from their teachers, students developed not only their writing skills but also their nature and visual literacy. The culmination was a published anthology by each student and a live, intimate poetry performance that celebrated their transformation into both authors and poets of place and planet.

22

To deepen their literary understanding, students explored nature-focused poetic forms from diverse cultures—including Japanese haiku and senryu, Chinese shi poetry, classical odes, and modern free verse. They also studied influential works like ‘The Lost Words’ by Robert Macfarlane, discovering how poetry and art can bridge cultures and express universal connections with nature.

Crafting Nature-Inspired Poems Back in the classroom, they translated their observations into poems using a broad and diverse range of poetic forms. Students experimented with Japanese poetry such

as haiku, haiku riddles and haiga, which combines image and text. They crafted rhyming poems that celebrated wildlife through rhythm and rhyme and created ekphrastic poems directly inspired by visual art pieces from the exhibition. Students also worked with kenning poems—metaphorical riddles in the style of ‘What Animal Am I?’ rooted in Old English tradition. Additionally, they wrote personification poems that gave voice to elements of nature such as trees, rivers and animals, as well as free verse, shape poetry, and odes expressing personal and collective reverence for the natural world. Throughout, they experimented with figurative language and poetic devices such as personification, alliteration, onomatopoeia and vivid imagery to convey nature’s wonder and fragility.

es. Through this exploration, students learned key performance techniques: using rhythm and rhyme to create musicality; modulating voice pitch, tone, and volume to convey emotion; employing facial expressions, gestures, and purposeful eye contact to engage listeners; and effectively using pauses and pacing to build tension and highlight meaning. They practised annotating their poems, marking where to pause for effect, vary tone or volume, emphasise key words, and add gestures or expressions—building the skills to deliver dynamic and confident performances.

Celebrating Student Voice The project culminated in a classroom poetry performance where each student presented two poems, including an acrostic kenning poem, with carefully rehearsed inBecoming Confident Performers troductions explaining their inspirations and poetic choices.
