Halloween fun

It’s not long to go until the year’s creepiest celebration, so we decided to share a super-spooky drawing/activity created by Karla from year 6.

In art class, she designed a ghost-train ride, and later added questions about her drawing.

Take a good look at Karla’s detailed artwork, and see if YOU can find the answers!

Which costume should I wear for Halloween?

Juno, Nina and me wanted to dress up as these ones ☝🏽

Juno will be Gru, Nina will be Bob (the minion) and I will be Victor or Gru’s friend (tell me which one I should be: Victor or Gru’s friend????.)

Or we could be the power-puff girls, please also tell us what idea you like more, the power-puff girls or the characters of the minions?.

These are some ideas from other people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you find a good costume for Halloween, eat a lot of candy and have fun at Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The creation of the universe – in a week!

Our project week for 2022 has just ended, and what a HUGE success it was.

This year, we learnt all about the universe – an enormous topic to cover, so the teachers organised dozens of activities in which the kids took turns to colour, craft, watch short videos or take part in experiments.

We learnt about how the universe was formed, and looked at our awe-inspiring solar system.

We also discovered incredible facts about planet earth itself: its various layers and molten core; tectonic plates and volcanoes; seas, water, and the atmosphere that surrounds us.

Students of all ages worked together, and it was wonderful to see how well the older children looked after the younger ones.

This year, too, we had extra help from parents – a big ‘thank you’ to those involved.

Not only did the kids have a great time, they learnt so much about the planet we live on and what lies beyond it. And at the end of the week, they took home a bag full of their own hand-crafted learning materials.

All in all, a universally acclaimed success!

My favorite restaurant

My favorite place is California Pizza Kitchen. This picture is the exact same place I ate at. This picture was taken years ago when it was Christmas. The picture was taken that long ago because the restaurant got replaced.

This place is right next to the Connecticut mall that I went to all the time. This place has always had the best food. My favorites are pizza, spaghetti carbonara and best of all the Mac and cheese.

This is the Mac and cheese. This Mac and cheese is the best in the world. I cannot describe how yummy it was.

This picture here shows the best part of Connecticut. But it got taken down and turned into some other restaurant. California Pizza kitchen can still be located in other places you can find it around the world but not in Germany. Every California Pizza Kitchen has the same Mac and cheese and it’s so good. I recommend this restaurant very much it’s the best place in the world.

Is this the world’s weirdest cat?

Thalia and her cat Shophie (pronounced Sophie).

Hi, I’m Thalia, and this is my cat Shophie. She is weird. She does not drink water normally. She puts her paw into the bowl then scoops up the water then licks her paw.

She sleeps in my closet and makes my clothes hairy. She also likes to sleep in her litter box because she thinks it’s comfy I guess. Her meows are not normal. She sounds like a motorcycle when she meows. Her meow isn’t like meow instead it’s like mrrrowwww. She purrs as loud as a motor.

She really likes to be petted and she does not always land on her feet. We were petting her, she got excited and started rolling around. Then she fell off the chair onto her back.

Autumn activities and the harvest festival

Leaves are falling, and so are temperatures. Which can only mean one thing: Autumn is here.

At IMS, we celebrated the change in season with a day of exciting craft activities, each designed to make use of the abundant natural materials on our doorstep, as well as to commemorate harvest festival itself.

The kids in 1-3 visited each others’ classrooms to print using leaves, sculpt with chestnuts, create Autumn-themed goodie bags, and plenty more besides.

The older 4-6 students had the chance to make some lovely seasonal wreaths or – in a tribute to upcoming Halloween – carve spooky pumpkin heads and write creepy stories to go with them.

Throughout the school, the students were not only engrossed in their work, but had lots of fun besides.

Thanks, then, to everyone for making our 2022 harvest festival event such a colourful, bountiful success!
