OUR LATEST STORIES
Very exciting opportunity for our KG2 Early Years students this morning. A 'real' fire was spotted on the sports field, and fortunately we had Fireman Dominik on the scene to put it out! The children enjoyed learning all about the equipment that firemen use, and the specialist clothing and helmets that are essential for their job.

Yesterday, at SISD we celebrated the German tradition, Laternelaufen. LaternFest is usually celebrated on St. Martin's Day (11 November), and children walk along the streets holding colourful, often self-made lanterns. This year, our students designed their own lanterns and had the chance to walk the "streets" of SISD with their parents.

Our Grade 3 to 12 students held a House Bake Sale this morning to raise funds for the UNICEF Pakistan Flood Appeal. The students baked and brought in lots of delicious foods (cakes, cookies, muffins, pancakes and so much more). Well done to all the students who participated; a total amount of AED 12200 was raised. Special congratulations to Lugano who raised the amazing total of AED 5440!

The new “Good Enough” Parent series kicked off at SISD today! The panel of specialists introduced the concept of being a good enough parent whilst discussing different parenting styles and children’s needs in the new millennia. Do look out for the survey coming tomorrow and share your feedback on specific topics of focus for up-and-coming seminars. Thank you to everyone who participated in the event and we look forward to continuing this collaboration as we work together to provide the very BEST care and support for our children.

Our Secondary students had the privilege today to meet with guest speaker, Francois Farjallah, who spoke about a volunteering programme called "My Ocean Challenge". The challenge, created by two sailors (Team Malizia), is about sharing the effects of climate change in the ocean, and the research and knowledge surrounding these issues. The sailors combine education, science and sailing, and have developed school programs to bring ocean-related topics to students worldwide, to raise awareness of the detrimental effect of climate change on our seas. The students all received an information and activity booklet after the event.
Today, we were delighted to welcome our KG1 parents into the class for our Appreciation Morning. The parents enjoyed the opportunity to make 3D gingerbread cards with their children, play together at the interactive and role play stations, and find out more about the new unit of inquiry, "Habitats - Sharing the planet". Thank you to all the parents who joined us for the morning.
