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!
