[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Another week and another successful residential. On Tuesday Year 5 jetted off to Kuching for their much anticipated four day trip which included museum visits, an ancient China trail, a tribes trail, a visit to a local temple and lots of yummy feasting. The children and staff returned on Friday afternoon having had a great but exhausting and action packed time. Many thanks to the Year 5 team who put so much time and energy into planning and leading the trip.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Professor Benoit Goossens came to a lunchtime Eco Warrior\u00a0meeting to share his expertise on what makes a great presentation. Benoit shared a wonderful presentation on how his son Naollin\u00a0became an Eco Warrior and he shared tips with our Eco Warriors on how to plan for a presentation. He advised the children to pick a subject or topic which is of interest to them, to keep the amount of text on each slide to a minimum\u00a0and to roughly talk for one minute per slide. Many of our Eco Warriors have volunteered to compose a presentation of their own which they will present to one another at our next lunch time meeting.<\/p>\n

On Friday we held Primary Maths Day with the children working in mixed year groups to solve a number of mathematical problems and puzzles. The day began with a mathemagical assembly led by Mr Fletcher who introduced our mathematicians. During the week, children were invited to rehearse their maths trick and on Thursday the finalists were chosen to perform in Friday\u2019s assembly and what an impressive job they did. Amid gasps and ghasts from the audience the children wowed the audience with their mathemagics.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Book Week 2020 will be taking place next weekend and our theme this year is \u2018Robots and Aliens \u2013 The Future!\u2019<\/p>\n

The Primary Book Swap will be from 8.00 to 9.00 on Monday 16th<\/sup> March followed by The Big Read from 9.00- 10.00; <\/strong>students will get a chance to get stuck into their \u2018new\u2019 pre-loved books. For a successful Book Swap event, we are relying on every student to bring in ONE book each, in good condition, to donate.<\/p>\n

Friday 20th March – Primary character parade and assembly<\/strong>
\nPerhaps the highlight of Book Week this is the day where staff, students \u2013 [and maybe even parents!] \u2013 come to school dressed up as their favourite book characters! After registration, all the students will gather in the Hall with their teachers and then take to the stage for photographs, judging, and general gasps of admiration from the audience! This will begin at 8.10am. We would like to encourage you to stay and watch the parade so you can see all of the fabulous costumes and there will be plenty of opportunities for you to take photos of your children!
\n
\nExtreme Reading Photo Competition<\/strong>
\nAll students are invited to enter anytime over the next 5 weeks. All they need to do is submit a photo (by emailing it to francescolbeck@kis.edu.my of them reading a book in an unusual or unexpected place- The more unusual, the better! Entries will be judged by SLT and prizes will be distributed on Friday 20th March.<\/p>\n

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.<\/p>\n
