Exciting school year ahead!

Upper Primary at ISG more than doubled in size during the summer holidays! Miss Jenny welcomed both old and new pupils to our lovely new classroom on the 1^st of September.

13 Upper Primary pupils now start off an exciting new school year together in a brand new school building. Pupils are very happy with the new classroom and playground. The lunch room is bigger and there is more space for different activities.

These first few weeks have been filled with different ‘get to know each other’ activities. Pupils have had art lessons, played games, gone to a playground for a fun afternoon, explored the surroundings around our new school and also participated in lots of team work challenges. Now we start to know each other!

During our first week back we also had a reason to celebrate! Romeo turned 9 years old and we had a little party here in the classroom.

We have a year full of learning – both Knowledge, Skills and Understanding – ahead of us!

This week Upper Primary started off their first weekly assignment in Numeracy and they have already been working hard to take responsibility for their own tasks. They also learn how to take responsibility for grammar practise, writing tasks, spelling rules and different follow-up activities. They have had their first Guided reading session. On Wednesday the Home learning folder was sent home for the first time.

This week Upper Primary pupils have also had Dutch class with Miss Marjoleen, Music class with Miss Sterre and PE and swimming class with Miss Naomi.

The school year has started off in a fantastic way – and the weather has been lovely, warm and sunny, so we have nothing to complain about! We are looking forward to many exciting days together here at ISG!
