Well that’s what we call a very productive school
term with a great finale week!
BISB Winter Olympics
This week started with the annual BISB
Winter Olympics. See below for a link to the photographs of children during the
games. The four house colours battled it out in the gym over floorball with
Endeavour (Yellow) winning the cup. Well done to everybody! It was wonderful to
see how keen the children were to participate. Everybody was awarded with either
a certificate or medal. A big ‘THANKS’ to the PE department and the Year 8
pupils for organising the event.
End-of-Term Party
On Wednesday all Year 3 classes came
together for the end-of-term party. And
what a party it was. The classrooms were transformed into a disco, an arts and
crafts studio and a buffet room. We have
never seen them so quiet when eating before - fifty or so children munching
away on the delicious food provided by the parents. In fact, the parents were so generous with
the food that we managed to have enough for a second helping the following day J !
Staying on the topic of food, all pupils
were treated to a traditional British Christmas lunch on Wednesday, followed by
a traditional Hungarian one the next day.
We are indeed very lucky here at BISB!
In Literacy, we
looked at Christmas poems and managed to create a rhyming one. They also had a chance to perform a second
poem with a partner to the class. We can
see some definite improvements in their performances!
In Numeracy, we
continued with daily mental maths test, multiplication and word problems. We
were able to revise various aspects including symmetry and directions.
An exciting new “kid blog” page was created
this week for Year 3 Sahara. The children were excited to be using the blog
page on the school set of laptops.
Our very own page has links to MyMaths, Bug
Club and other sites. The children have their own log in and password and they
can leave a comment. Photographs of the BISB Winter Olympic games and other
class photographs are on the page too.
Please remember that during the holiday the children can still access
some reading through the Bug Club site and can practice their Maths on the My
Maths site.
GoodBye
and Good Luck – we will miss you……
We say a sad but fond farewell to Nuno and
to J.J. We wish them both ‘good luck’ in their new homes and in their new
schools.
In January we will be saying hello and welcome
Zoe Stern, coming from the UK to Year 3 Sahara.
‘HAPPY HOLIDAYS’!
Now to wish everybody ‘HAPPY
HOLIDAYS’! ………
Thank to you all for your support this term.
Thank you for your feed-back and response to the Mid-Year Report sent out last
week. Teacher/Parent meeting will be in January
[ 14th and 16th ] to discuss the contents of the
report.
Sincere and grateful thanks to you for the wonderful
presents we received – all we can say is ‘WOW’!
We hope you all have a
wonderful and enjoyable time with your families over this festive time of the
year.
Have a great break and we hope to see you
back in school on Tuesday, January 7th 2014.
