PRIMARY NEWSLETTER Spring 2009
Marţisor isor and Women’s Day Here in Romania we celebrate not only women’s day but we also celebrate mother’s day. These days are of great importance to all Romanians, both young and old; they are both celebrated on the same date, the 8th of March. This year in celebration of these two important days, pupils at ISB made special cards and wrote personal messages for their mothers, these included short poems and texts and all were written by the children themselves during their Romanian lessons. All att ISB would like to wish all the mothers of ISB, a happy mother’s day for 2009.
Mothers’ Day Show Foundation stage children performed for Mothers Day. They sang some songs and recite small poems about their mothers. Children learn to respect each other, different nationalities, to gain self confidence, to be aware that we are different. Nursery and Reception ception children recited some poems and sang songs in English and their mother tongue language to express their love for mothers all over the world. Children have been working hard for this show in order to offer a handmade card and a flower lower to all the women wom present.
A First for ISB On March 9th, ISB celebrated Maths Day for the first time. The theme was the number SEVEN.. Students from Nursery to Year 6 spent the day exploring and learning about this number. They learnt about the seven colours of the rainbow, the seven days of the week and much, much more. Students wrote poems with seven lines about the number seven. At the end of the day a fantastic assembly was held. Students showed the rest of the school what hat they had been doing during the day. All in all an interesting and fun-packed packed day was had by students and teachers alike!
Martial Arts 24 students in our Martial Arts club went through a tough examination to get their orange belts. European champion Nicolae Stoian was the examiner of our students. Parents watching the examination were proud to see how much their children achieved in such a short time.
