The third semester passed very fast as we entered in the magic world of fairies and of book characters as we named the topic:

“Let’s pretend”. Th ey had the opportunity to fi nd out about pup-pets and make some of their own. Th ey listened to and learned some key words in the world of fairytales. With the kids help we created story scenes through art work.

In Numeracy, Nursery A children learned to associate numbers with their meaning, to understand spatial positions as: in, on,

under, behind, in front of, e.g., to count up until 10 and back-wards and to develop their critical thinking through matching games.

As they are still learning to make the fi rst steps in the school atmosphere, our fi rst goal as teachers was to help the chil-

dren learn who they are, what they like, what they are good at, how they can get along with each other, how they can put feelings into words and how they can manage themselves in the world of school by giving them diff erent responsibilities. For this rea-son, each child had the honour to be for a day, every week, the teacher’s helper.

We are looking forward for the next term to come!

Nursery BNursery B

As winter hit hard, Nursery B worked hard! Children in Nursery B have emphasised learning through playing and

fun - creative activities and their creativity increased as they dis-covered the traditional stories, prepositions and opposites. We discovered and explored interesting things around us. We’ve had a ‘Fire Drill’ to know what to do in case of fi re. Th is made us very excited to fi nd out more about the people who help us.

The last month of winter came with lots of new things for all of us. Since the cold weather came we thought it would be

better to have some lovely activities in school insted of going out. We enjoyed the puppet show, pancake day and our fantastic as-sembly we put on for our parents. We would like to thank all the parents that supported us.

We are looking forward to enjoy the spring and experience lots of new adventures as we wish you “Happy Martisor”!

As winter is almost over and Spring will soon knock at our doors, we look behind and we real-

ize how fast time has fl own so far. A few moths ago we were all 4 years old and now we are 5! We have learned so many new things, and achieved so much informa-tion that most of the times we can handle some situa-tions without being helped.

We became smarter in reading, we have learned more sounds and we are able to blend them in

order to form words. We now know that 3 add 4 more equals 7 and all kind of number stories which help us in our everyday life.

As our school life is very busy, we can say that we had a lot of fun on Pancake Day! We ate so many

yummy pancakes that we had a tummy ache on that day.

We have also had a lot of fun in our Creative De-velopment classes. Sofi a is our leader regarding

talent so she helps us all the time to create wonderful things.

We are looking forward to see what new surprises Spring will bring us!

Year 1 have had a great term Winter term, the chil-dren have developed their reading skills and are

now able to read out loud confi dently to their class-mates. Below are pictures of Year 1 during reading time.

In our Topic lessons, we have been learning about Houses and Homes. More recently, the children

have been talking about the diff erent types of materi-als we have around us and they have been investigat-ing the diff erent properties of various materials.

Below are pictures of Year 1 children investigating if various materials keep their shape.

Both Nursery classes have welcomed new children and their families since the holidays and the

children have settled in well and participating fully in class activities. Classes are pretty much full in Nurs-ery, which is great to see.

Since coming back from the holidays in Dec/Jan, we have been exploring ‘Let’s Pretend’ unit. We

have learnt new Nursery rhymes, acted out tradi-tional fairytales, becomes kings, queens, princes and princesses and we have learnt traditional tales and acted them out. I think the biggest highlight from all of this was when we made Gingerbread Men Cookies at school and ate them. No pesky foxes at ISB!!

Now that the snow has stopped falling (at least for now) we have started going back outside and

the children really do enjoy being out there and play-ing games with their friends and swinging or spin-ning on the swings.

Reception students were fortunate enough to have a visit to the Fire Station last week! Although our

fi rst excursion had to be postponed, due to the weath-er, we were able to go last Friday. Th e fi remen were able to speak to us about what you can fi nd on a fi re engine and what type of equipment they use in emer-gencies. Students were very happy to be able to climb

into the cabin of the truck and press a few buttons as well as to walk inside the paramedic van. Th e best part though, was when the fi remen performed a fi re drill; unravelling hoses, spraying water, climbing ladders, getting dressed into chemical suits. It was such a fun excursion!

Year 2 have been busy recently with preparing for, and performing, our Show. It was a real team ef-

fort with the children, staff and parents working hard on the singing, dancing, acting and costume and prop making. Of course, there was the sword fi ghting, ka-rate chops, ballet dancing and acrobatics (among oth-er things) to practice too! It was a challenging script and the children had to be really independent with knowing where they should be, what they should have and what they should do at each scene.

Throughout the whole process, the children were enthusiastic and they had a fantastic time with

this. Th ey loved performing in the theatre and put on 3 main shows in front of various audiences.

Well done Year 2

On Wednesday 13th February Year 1 celebrated their 100th Day of School. We have counted each day since the fi rst day in September and put a coin in a jar each day – plink, plink, plink! Finally the 100th day had

arrived and it was time to celebrate! We made a necklace with 100 Cheerios on it. We had to count very care-fully to 100. Th en we got to eat it – Yum! We also make a 100 day crown with 100 stickers on it and tried to read 100 words. Th at was easy for us! We have done a lot of learning in 100 days and our teachers are very proud of us. We all brought 100 good things to eat from home and we shared them while we watched ‘101 Dalmations’ in the theatre. What a super day!

Year 3 thoroughly enjoyed their trips to the National Museum of Art. Th e fi rst thing we did was an interactive workshop. In the workshop we were

allowed to break all of the museum rules! We could talk, shout, touch things and play. We all got to experiment with various materials and learned about how Constantin Brâncuși used these materials used them. We were able to explore various sharp fi les and tools to make marks on blocks of marble, wood and brass. We piled giant wooden blocks of various shapes and sizes to create our own artwork. We even played in a gigantic 3d wooden puzzle which was very diffi cult to put back together. Th e most fun was putting one hand inside the ‘feely table’ to touch an object while trying to draw the object with the other hand! Once the workshop was fi nished we were taken into the museum again (where we had to remember the museum rules!) to look at some of the more famous works of Brâncuși.

Year 4 have been learning all about Invaders and Settlers this term. We started looking at the Vi-

kings; discovering where they came from, how they travelled the seas and what they did when they ar-rived in other countries. We created our own Viking armour, investigated how they built their ships and then built and tested our own models.

We have also been investigating local history and looking at the Dacians’ wars with the Romans.

A highlight from this term was our trip to the national history museum where we saw a life-size model of Tra-jan’s column which depicted the key moments from the confl icts. We also saw many pieces of gold and sil-ver from the Dacian era including helmets, bracelets and daggers. We are looking forward to fi nding out even more about the Romans aft er the holidays!

Year 4B have been working hard in art this half term. We have been looking at the topic, ‘Invad-

ers and Settlers’, and as part of the topic one of the objectives was to design and make their own mosaics. Th e children have worked well in pairs to do this, and they will be outside Class 4B classroom should par-ents and friends wish to have a look!

Year 6 NewsYear 6 News

In Year 5 we have been studying a topic called ‘Astronomy and Space’. It is a really interesting topic and we have been doing lots of fun activities. In Design and Technology lessons we have been designing and mak-

ing a moving toy. Year 5 learned about controlling movement with a cam mechanism as part of a simple space themed toy. Th ey developed their designing skills by thinking carefully about how they wanted their toy to move and what decorations they would use. Th ey also had to think about who they were making the toy for. Once the designing stage was complete they were shown how to use important tools and equipment to develop techniques in cutting, sticking, shaping and joining. Th rough these activities they gained an understanding of the working characteristics of the materials and components and how they can be combined to create exciting designs. Here are some photos of the children at work!

Year 6 dressed up as Famous People as part of their Biography and Autobiography project.

Year 6 had a fantastic day dressing up as someone famous. Th ere was a huge range of fi lm stars, sci-

entists, singers and musicians, politicians, historical fi gures, sports stars, adventurers and explorers.

Students introduced themselves with a presentation and then posed in front of the cameras.

Fourth Sir Winston Churchill International School Debating Competition 4th February 2013

Six schools, the American International School of Bucharest, the British School of Bucharest, the Cambridge School of Bucharest, the International British School of Bucharest, the Mark Twain International School

and the International School of Bucharest, contested this year’s event, which was again hosted by the ISB. In the opinion of coaches and judges, the standard of debating in the qualifying rounds was even higher than in previous years.

At the end of a very exciting qualifi cation stage all six teams had scored an equal number of points. Th e fi nalists were therefore decided on a count-back of individual judge’s votes. Sadly the team from the inter-

national School of Bucharest, which had won the competition in 2012, failed to reach the fi nal by one judge’s vote. Th e fi nal was judged by Sir Stan Platt, OBE, of Light into Europe, Duncan Mothersill, of the British Coun-cil and Martin Lahm, from the embassy of the United States of America in Bucharest, and this year’s fi nalists were the British School of Bucharest and the International British School of Bucharest, with the victory going to the International British School of Bucharest.

The ISB team of Rama Bikbachi, Tugce Goktas and Esther Hallal (all of who played in last year’s winning team) Joanna Clark and Ece Ergin, which was the youngest team in the competition, performed extremely

well on the day and the school is currently organising a number of follow-up contests so that the debating ex-pertise that has been built-up is not allowed to dissipate.

Tea House at ISBTea House at ISB

Year 13 Applied Business students this year fo-cused on organising events that will smooth their

way to the most important event in their lives: their Prom.

During the fi rst term they organized a bake sale and managed to raise 500 lei. Was that enough?

It was enough for SALIH ABDULLAH GOKCEL to come up with a business idea that can become

sustainable and profi table at the same time. Every-thing was there and SALIH together with his friend TURGUT DUNDAR and his colleagues UMRAN AKDAG, DILARA BATGI, PETRU MURESAN, GAO XING SHUE, YITING DONG and FRANC-ESCA LUCARELLI started planning and organising the new business: a tea house in the school Cafeteria, selling tea during the fi rst break. Every single detail was taken into account and the Tea House opened on February .

The Tea House could not have been opened with-out the kind support of the school management.

Many thanks for all their help and support and very special thanks to the Secondary School Principal, Mr. ERVIN HUSSEIN.

This business is meant to be sustainable, so it will be continued by the year 12 Applied Business class

students. In this respect, they have been involved in this activity from the very beginning and by the end of the year they will be ready to take over and coordinate the Tea House business next and hand it over to their younger colleagues.

Students are happy, because for 1 RON only they can have a nice cup of tea. And they can choose

from no less than 10 types of tea.

Yesterday, February 21, SALIH and Turgut sold no less than 76 cups of tea.

Congratulations!

Here at the Social Studies Faculty we have been “fl at-out” (Australian term for very, very busy)

for the last few weeks. We just fi nished marking tons of papers from students doing Key Stage 4 and 5 Cam-bridge examination MOCK exams for: IGCSE, AS and A levels. Hundreds of papers to read and re-read, check and double check, it honestly felt like reading Harry Potters “Prisoner from Azkaban” twice, that’s how much we had to read in a couple of weeks. Th en aft er hearing ALL the students complaints about their marks we fi nally loaded all our marks on the school database: EDUCARE.

Please don’t think that Key Stage 3 have been scratching their bellies, they’ve also been fl at out

…. as a lizard drinking (I didn’t tell you before the full idiosyncrasy)… marking exams, presentations and displays (as these ones outside Mr. Craven’s Global Perspective class).

From the Fruitland.

Dimes Fruit Juices

What is the characteristic of Dimes Juice?Th e characteristic of Dimes is, above all, the objec-tively better taste, (“Dimes tastes like the consumer imagines the optimum fruit to be as a juice”) the premium quality and the natural composition of the product. Why are Dimes products so intensive in taste?All our eff orts in the composition and processing of the products are directed at achieving this “1:1 taste”. Th is taste is achieved with the help of natural ingre-dients only.Where do Dimes fruits come from?More than 90 % of our fruits are grown in our own orchards. Except for Mango and Pineapple. Th is gives us unique quality. According to Europe Fruit Juice Producers Association report 70 % of the Apple Juice concentrate is imported from China. Similar case for oranges and tomatoes. We are using our own fruits which are produced in Turkey.Are the fruits cultivated organically?As we are growing our own fruits we can guarantee that the fruits are not treated with any kind of chemi-cal or medicine. Th eoretically, each individual fruit can be traced back to the tree or bush. Are the same fruits not used by other fruit juice brands, too?As we are the only big brand which can produce its own produce this is not possible.What are the diff erences between 100 % Juice and Nectars?Fruit juice means that there is no sugar added and no additives. Th e juice is only made out of fruits. Nectar means that sugar is added and also chemical addi-tives. Also if aromas are added the declaration has to be fruit juice drink. Does Dimes Nectars contain chemicals?Dimes is the only brand in the world which can pro-duce nectars without additives.Dimes Premium 100 % Fruit JuicesBesides traditional tastes, such as oranges, and ap-ples, Dimes is the only brand in Romania, which can produce 100 % Sour Cherry, 100 % Peaches, 100 % Mango and 100 % Pomegranate. In other words you can drink these juices in other brands as nectars, which contains additives and sugar added. In Dimes they are 100 % natural.What is the best package for fruit juice?Th e best packaging for fruit juice is glasses, tetrapak, and cans. Fruit juices should never be packed in PET bottles as it is impossible for any juice to stay in PET

bottles longer than 15 days, unless they are chemi-cally treated.How does the fruit get into the bottle?Th e transition from fruit to concentrate takes place in the following steps: 1. Harvesting 2. Washing – sorting the fruits 3. Pressing the fruits 4. Concen-trating (water is extracted) 5. Transporting 6. Juice processing (water is added) 7. Pasteurisation (max. 85°C) and bottling Th e transition from fruit to direct (freshly squeezed’) juice takes place in the following steps: 1. Harvesting 2. Washing – sorting the fruits 3. Pressing the fruits 4. Transporting 5. Pasteurisation (max 85°C) and BottlingDoes Dimes use artifi cial colouring agents and pre-servatives?Dimes fruit juices are high quality and natural prod-ucts and, for this reason, artifi cial agents and pre-servatives are not used at all.Where we can fi nd Dimes Products?In Mega Image Supermarkets, Penny and Penny XXL Stores, Lukoil Gas Stations and in many other supermarkets in Bucharest and in 95 countries of the world.
