Grade 8 and 9 Trip



Our grade 8 and 9 classes went to Weizmann Science Institute near the town of Rehovot, south-east of Tel Aviv.

 

The pupils learned about emulsions and made their own hand cream, which they packaged and brought home.

 

  
The trip was  great, they learned, had fun and were well behaved without exception. 






Peace League Soccer

Our middle school boys and girls soccer teams played a match yesterday at the American International School as part of the Peace League. These teams were also joined by the high school boy's basketball team. 

Despite the adverse weather conditions the soccer teams took to the field. The boys drew one match, lost the second match and won the third. The girls won two of their first matches, drew the third match and lost the fourth. They are placed second in their division and the boys are placed fourth. 

 

  

The high school boys basketball had two very good games. The first game, against AIS saw our team make a great come-back in the final quarter, and from a score of AIS 21 - TAB 14, they managed to catch up to end with a final score of AIS 35 - TAB 31.

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!
