Nursery

This term Nursery visited the farm at

Pantelimon. We loved seeing all the different

animals and we were allowed to stoke them

and feed the goats and sheep grass and give

carrots to the rabbits. Our best bit was

feeding the baby cows with their milk bottles,

they were very thirsty!

This month we have been learning all

about shapes and we now know circle, square,

triangle, rectangle and sometimes hexagon!

We did lots of shape printing and collaging

and went on shape hunts in the classroom

looking for certain shapes.

We are looking forward to

International Week and are excited about

visiting the other EYFS classes that are

decorated as China, Romania, France and

America. We hope to be trying lots of different

food from around the world and dressing up

in our international costumes for the parade

on Thursday.

Birthdays this month: None!!

Recept

This term Reception classes have been

learning all about animals: Farm, Wild and Birds.

We know now the difference between wild and

domestic animals and we know where they

leave and what they eat . Also ,we know some

very interesting facts about animals! For

example, did you know that the ostrich is the

fastest bird and can run up to 70km/h ? Or that

the small car on the road is probably the size of

the heart of a blue whale? We had lots of fun

learning about animals

Outdoor time In the Foundation Stage

Curriculum the outdoor classroom is considered

to be vital to enhance the children

We therefore will be using the outdoor area

daily. It is essential that the children have a coat,

hat, gloves, sensible outdoor shoes, and some

wellies, if possible for the bad weather. We will

be going out in all weathers...even snow!

Because of weather conditions our trip

to the ‘Zoo’ was canceled but we will be taking

the children to the ‘Puppet Theater’. More

about this later!

October was a special month for Year 1

students who celebrated diversity during the

International Week. This event brought huge

smiles to all our faces: we learnt, laughed,

danced, explored new cultures and customs and

wore traditional costumes

The main foyer was decorated with the

flags of different nations, 1M became

Switzerland and 1A Canada due to Mrs Brigitte

and Mrs Annie who made a special effort to

decorate the two classrooms.

Year 1

Year 1 learnt about some of the

traditions and stories linked to India. The

children enjoyed an IW activity where they

were required to make traditional Indian

lanterns and to decorate the house with

lights. Indian people celebrate many festivals

and one of the most well known is Diwali, the

Festival of Light. At this time people decorate

their homes and temples with different kinds

of light- a simply spectacular sight!

Finally, it just remains to be said that

we all enjoyed our International Week, learnt

much and look forward to next October when

we hope to discover more about our world

and our fellow inhabitants!

Both Year 1 classes will be performing

their first class assembly after half term. The

dates are as follows - 1A Thursday 4

Year 3

In year 3 our recent History Topic has been

the Romans. We decided to bring the topic to

life by having a 'Roman Theme Day'

dressed up in Roman costume and discovered

how weird it was wearing a toga. During our

lessons we learnt much more about Roman

Life, in PE we had javelin lessons and a solider

training camp, as we were imagined we were

Roman Soldiers. In Romanian Language we

learnt some Latin. In Numeracy we looked at

the Roman Numerals and did our calculations

with them instead. We still had ICT, but used

this time to play interactive games to find out

more about life in Roman Times! We made

clay pots and mosaics, but the most enjoyable

part of all for most of us was our Roman

Banquet, as we fed each other with Roman

foods.

A great learning experience, bring history to li

Many Thanks to all teachers involved, especially

our specialist teachers.

Year 4 enjoyed all the activities for the

international days. Miss Liane’s

presented us with a spectacular ‘dances

from around the world’ assembly. Great

costumes, fancy moves and a wonderful

array of hats. If you missed it, be sure to

visit the school website!

The international parade allowed the

children to show off t

costumes. On display were outfits from

many different countries including Romania,

Turkey, USA, India and Brazil.

Just when we thought things could not

possibly get any better, the children were

whisked off to visit several countries for

‘Around the world day’. They participated in

traditional dances, tasted local dishes,

played games, sang songs and filled their

passports with stamps!

YEAR 5

Year 5 have had a very busy couple of weeks recently, the highlight being the residential trip to Sinaia. Although the weather was very wet and cold for much of the time, it did not dampen our spirits.

We spent our time climbing up through muddy forests (while trying not to attract any bears!), enjoying a guided tour around Peles Castle (and then getting extremely wet while buying lots of gifts) and using the cable cars to ride high up into the clouds.

Luckily we were able to use a covered football pitch for some recreation time when the rain was just too heavy for us to be working in Sinaia Park.

All of the students took part in a talent show on one evening. There was a very wide range of talent on show, from dancing, to acting, to magic tricks and everybody had a great time.

All of the students were on their best behaviour and were a credit to our school and to their parents.

If you wish to see all of the photos that were taken, they are to found in the Gallery on the school web site.

Happy viewing.

In October Year 6 enjoyed a busy but sunny trip to Tulcea and the Danube Delta. We were able to visit the Delta on a beautiful boat trip and saw much of the area’s wildlife, including egrets, cranes, moorhens, and it was rumoured, even a snake! We also learned a lot from our trip to the Ecological Museum aas the Folk Museum. Here we saw traditional Romanian costumes and customs and investigated not only the native species of the Delta, but also those which have become extinct.However it wasn’t all work! We also had a quiz, talent show party, with some special prizes being awarded. The students showed the best of themselves and made ISB and their parents very proud of their independence and responsibility.

Well done Year 6!
