Going on school trips really helps students gain real-world experience that cannot be taught in a classroom, opening their minds to different cultures and strengthening their knowledge of the world around them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following are some of the key benefits of students undertaking school trips:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bring subjects to life<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boost self-confidence<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increase motivation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Encourage good behaviour<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Broaden their horizons<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please ensure you are connected to Class Dojo and that we have your correct email address so that you don\u2019t miss out on any of these exciting opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This week, in our celebration assembly, we welcomed the New Year with a discussion of celebrations around the world. We celebrated the Stars of the Week and gave out Bronze and Silver certificates!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yesterday, the learning for this term (MTPs) and the Homework Grids were posted on Class Dojo. Please look out for these and if you have any questions speak to the class teacher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also celebrated our House Colour Day yesterday, with the children dressing up in the colours that represent their houses. This is a lovely opportunity for them to engage with secondary students in their house and develop the camaraderie the house system is designed to create. As I am in all houses, it is great to see everyone getting involved and enjoying their time at school together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a new year, we also welcome many new families to the KIS community.
