Caring is Sharing

Hello everyone,

Just before the break an update on Middle Primary.

In literacy Year 2 have been discussing beautiful images and writing about those images, whilst trying to include all that has been taught the last months, e.g punctuation, adverbs, adjectives, present and past tense and the present continuous. They have thoroughly enjoyed this type of excerise.

Our key focus in numeracy has been doubling and halving, recognising, finding, naming and writing fractions, and understanding mixed and placing halves on a number lines. Fractions tend to be tricky for children, so we will revise what we have done just after the break.

Our IPC sessions have been focused on the children making a significant difference, so we came up with the idea to help the refugees in and around Ghent. All of Middle Primary became totally involved in helping so many people in need. They prepared posters to hang around the school, they spoke to all the classes and explained what they were doing and why. From there the whole school became involved and concerned for the refugees. The children became aware of all that they have and were often happy to donate some of their belongings. We collected over 40 large bags of clothing, toys and blankets.
Middle Primary would like to thank you for all your support. The ONG, 'VZW Humain' are extremely grateful for all our efforts.

Now we are looking forward to our next project, which will brings us outdoors!

We continue to enjoy our regular quizzes. It is a favourite of Middle Primary at the moment. Long may it last!

Alice and Lele have been students of the week, they have both shown, in their individual ways, how strong they are in and outside of class. We are very proud of you!

Lele, Geffen, Luka, Viktor, Nanda and Valentin all had their moment with Mr. Hans at the lego challenge.

On a sad note we had to say good bye to Lele, he brought the sound of the piano to our school every morning, it was just lovely to hear. And thanks to Lele, Sebastian and Ediz are now practising at school on a regular basis.
Three years ago Nanda started at ISG, she has grown into a beautiful, caring, attentive and keen learner. Her contributions in class have been outstanding, and she will be deeply missed. I take this opportunity to wish Nanda and her family the very best in the future and can only hope that we will meet again.

Wishing you all a relaxing break.

Miss. Rebecca, Miss Ana and Miss. Anelda
