Library is sparkling again!

Thanks to Clara’s and Valentine’s initiative
by Amandine Hegner (MS1)


Is that room shining? Oh, yes it is. It’s our library!
Clara and Valentine, two learning partners from PY 2/3, have been sorting books and looking after our library.

They even sorted our big encyclopaedias according to size. “It’s just fun sorting the books in our library”: both said “We are helping our community and environment.” Actually, they didn’t want to sort the library, it just happened by chance! They were searching for a book for their “15 minutes’ silent reading session” and came up with the idea to sort the library books when they saw the mess on the shelves. They still have not finished sorting the books, maybe because some people destroy their work, but it’s fun for them to sort them again. From time to time they read a book, which is very, very good, reading is important!

Thank you Clara and Valentine for being caring and principled.

A grand concert

by Tazzio Teeluck

More than a hundred people attended a concert in Hambach on Saturday. About 50 musicians, from the age of eleven to fifty played in the orchestra. One of our musicians that took part was Anna Lena, an ISN middle school student, who played the drums at the concert. She played with a lot of concentration on her instrument and during the parts that she had to play in the concert.

After the concert she gave a demonstration of her musical talents by improvising on her drums. When she demonstrated her improvisation skills, I felt that I wanted to study music as well.

I wish that there were other children from ISN who could see Anna Lena play that evening. It was really an exciting concert.

ISN first parent open day, 9 May

by Delia (MS2)

At yesterday’s open day for parents the ISN Times reporters were busy and interviewed parents. I interviewed PY 4/5 parents and one parent from PY 2/3. Parents said that if they could change something in the school they would like to see one teacher per grade level and also more resource materials. Most parents can see improvements in the way English is learnt at school. Tazzio’s mother said that she can see improvement in her son’s German. Tazzio, one of our foreign students studies German as a Foreign Language.

I used the opportunity to ask the parents what they would like to see on our ISN Times parent’s page. They said that they would like to see events, projects their children are doing at school and also advice on how they can help their children at home.
