The students were asked to submit a photograph of their favorite place in Singapore that they had taken by themselves. Congratulations to Kaya in G3 for her winning entry. Her photograph of Sentosa is featured for the month of July, 2017 in the Allied Pickfords Calendar. ISS Competition A Sense of Place is a competition for authors and illustrators. Through writing, art or both, students explore what it is that makes a place special to them, whether it be a special room in a house, a garden, a city, landscape or a whole country. During the break, take some time to have a conversation with your child about what a special place means to them, and encourage them to think about the medium in which they would best like to express their ideas. Entries will be due on Monday 6th February and prizes announced on Friday the 10th of February at the end of literacy week. For the authors’ submissions, writing will be judged on the 6 Traits of writing: ideas, organisation, voice, word choice, sentence fluency and conventions. Written entries may be submitted in mother tongue. The illustrators’ artworks will be judged on a title that describes the idea, and the use of line, colour and composition.

On Thursday afternoon the auditions were held for this years Middle School production ‘Into The Woods’. A wonderful display of talent was on show from students in Grade 5 through to Grade 8. Going on the auditions alone, it’s going to be a stellar production. Stay tuned for updates. Speaking of performances, a group of ISS students (accompanied by Mr Lebon and Mr Ballinger) will perform a Christmas Concert for the Eurasian Association this Sunday. This has proven to be a wonderful event and a highlight of the festive season for all concerned. Today (Friday) all Grade 6-8 students completed a questionnaire for the Council of International Schools (CIS). This survey is a practical tool that helps teachers leverage the rich cultural diversity of ISS towards better teaching and learning. We will receive results in the new year and these will help guide ISS. On the sporting field ISS recorded their first win of the season in junior varsity football. A solid 7-2 win against Dulwich College. Well done gentlemen.
