1. 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!

2. 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 a
as 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!
