Our International Ambassadors

Pictured are our wonderful International Ambassadors; Michael, Shreya, Sarah, Leonard and Anna. Every school assembly they welcome the children in their first language. The children in the school love hearing their language spoken by some of the school leaders.

Floating and Sinking

We have had a science focus this week, with some of the ESOL groups learning about floating and sinking. We learned how to come up with a question, make a hypothesis, test our hypothesis and record our results. We then drew conclusions from our results. We made models of boats from tin foil, then tested how much they would hold before they sunk. We learned a lot from our reading and our experimenting, and we had a lot of fun playing with water!

Our Eye On Ilam

Lots of the children who go to ESOL have been learning about our local community. We have been visiting the university to find out more about the places around us. It was fun going down to the river and crossing the bridge. Other groups have focused on improving their reading skills. Look at Yuko and Qin learning about playing football!
