Head of Primary Message Week 32



High Energy ⚡️

It’s been another energetic week across Primary and there’s lots to celebrate.


First of all, a huge congratulations to our U11 FOBISIA squad who returned from Thailand with a fist full of medals. Every single athlete came back with at least one medal to their name, which is an incredible achievement. They represented ISB across a range of different sports and showed great determination, teamwork and school spirit. We are all very proud of them. 👏 👏


Back on campus, our Pre Kindy students have been making waves, literally. For some, it was their very first swimming lesson and they did an amazing job splashing around in the pool. They’ve also been using magnifying glasses to explore bugs and working hard on both their fine and gross motor skills. In Kindy, there’s been a very special visitor, a lizard. As if that wasn’t exciting enough, they’ve also been sliding around campus luge-style on their bellies.


Reception have been busy building and constructing with all sorts of materials, creating bracelets using repeating patterns and showing their independent writing skills. In Year 1, students have been chopping fruit and vegetables, writing postcards, and even describing a cat with a love of Biscoff-flavoured ice cream.


Year 2 have been developing their skills in letter writing while also recording temperatures around school as part of their measurement work. Year 3 have been exploring their identity and creating TV news reports using a green screen. Year 4 have been writing newspaper articles and taking a close look at their teeth as part of their science work.


In Year 5, students have been printing and stamping, as well as dissecting leaves and examining them under a microscope. Year 6 have been handling data, creating graphs and producing some impressive pieces of natural art.



Music Showcases 🎶

We’ve had to make a few adjustments to some of our music performance dates in June, as we do our best to accommodate a very busy calendar of events. The Middle Years Showcase will now take place on Wednesday 18th June, followed by the Reception Music Showcase on Friday 20th June. Then, on Wednesday 25th June, we look forward to a special Year 10 Showcase featuring the Big Band alongside our Primary Choir. We understand that our very busy schedules sometimes mean that not all students can participate in every event, but we do have to make full use of every one of our calendared school days in order to provide the very best possible education and opportunities for all students. Thank you for your continued support and flexibility.



Last Few Tickets 🎟️

The school production is almost sold out. Tickets are still available, but only for a limited time. Rehearsals have been going well and it is shaping up to be a performance worth waiting for. 🪄
