Purim party!

Purim is here again. We started the day off with a primary Purim assembly with the telling of the story of Purim. Each primary class was called upon to parade their costumes which ranged from princesses to monsters!

The secondary pupils are currently busy with a disco, with many of them wearing costumes of all kinds. Support is good despite the rain!

Professors and Purim.

Today the grade 6 science class had the pleasure of being addressed by three distinguished "professors". The class was taught about the classification of plant and animals according to their cellular structure. The lesson was completed by the handing out of a quiz by the "professors" who told the young scientists that the highest grdae for the quiz will win a chocolate bar!

 

We are also coming up to the Purim holiday. This will be happening next weekend, but we will have our dress-up day and disco on Thursday 25th February. Our graduates have been busy getting things ready for that, which includes making posters advertising the event. Below is an example of their abstract art advert.

St. Valentine's Day and 100 days celebrations!

We decided to celebrate St. Valentine's Day a little late this year, as most of the Student Council were away on Monday and Tuesday at the MUN conference. It also coincided with an earthquake drill and the 100 days celebration in the Reception and Grade 1 classes.

 

The St. Valentine's Day celebrations saw the usual handing out of chocolates, balloons and flowers, while songs of love played over the PA system.

 

We also had our Reception and Grade 1 class celebrating 100 days of school. The children had to bring in 100 items and counted up to 100 beautifully! The 100 items ranged from sea shells to origami swans. We even had cake!

 

TimeMUN

It is time for Tabeetha to participate in the annual TimeMUN conference at the American International School in Even Yehuda near Natanya, a town north of Tel Aviv. We have 24 pupils participating, the most we have ever had since we started being a part of this amazing event 7 years ago.

We had pupils who took part as delegates and members of the press. We had delegates representing Niger, Tunisia, Israel, Lebanon, South Korea, Mexico and Libya. We will soon be hearing all the details when our pupils return to school on Wednesday.
