This year’s Halloween party provided many opportunities for all of the ghosts, goblins, and other costumed guests to experience something spooky and fun. This year we decided to allow the kids to work and enjoy the day however they chose, rather than putting the houses together for the whole party. Thankfully, our creative workshop leaders and game planners have worked hard to provide everyone with we hope will be a truly memorable experience...no matter where they chose to spend their morning!
The CS1 students were part of an Alice in Wonderland themed murder-mystery party for the morning, while the rest of the school signed up for different workshops they liked. They chose between baking with Ms. Katerina, drama with Ms. Olga, art with Ms. Aga, and an escape room with Ms. Janita. While the older students were busy solving a murder, the younger students also competed in some Halloween games to earn points for their houses. The Wonkas were 1st, Matildas 2nd, Foxes 3rd, and Twits 4th. In CS1, the Cheshire Cat and Red Queen won best costume, the White Rabbit won best acting, the Red Queen won the trivia game, and the King of Hearts was the murderer (but nobody solved it correctly)!
After a break for lunch and free-time, we all came together for a photo competition in the tent. Twits won Best Teamwork, Most Creative, and Scariest while Matildas won Most Funny for the photo. At the end of a very full day of sleuthing, crafting, and many other Halloween experiences, we couldn’t leave without a disco of course!
These events are such a great opportunity for the students to develop their teamwork, non-academic skills, and for them to enjoy time with friends. It was a very Happy Halloween for ISO! You can see the house point totals below for any I didn’t mention above.

Jolly Phonics is an engaging way to teach children pre -reading and pre -writing skills using phonics. Phonics is the teaching of the sounds that letters make, rather than the names of letters that are taught in the alphabet, because it is the sounds that are useful for reading and writing, not the names. These sounds are taught in a systematic way, alongside all of the skills needed for being a fluent reader and writer in future. Jolly Phonics also teaches all of this in a fun and engaging way, through characters, stories, actions, songs and games! To read more about Jolly Phonics, clickhere.
ORT is a reading scheme which has been developed to help children learn to read from the age of 4.

It is an excellent way to practise the skills learned through the Jolly Phonics Programme..
Cambridge Primary ENGLISH promotes an enquiry-based approach, developing learners’ confidence, creativity and intellectual engagement. Learners develop English skills that they can apply to a range of different purposes and audiences in everyday situations and in study.
We teach English as a first language. Pupils that are only starting to learn English or need some additional support are allocated to our intensive English as a Second Language (ESL) programme.
More about Cambridge Primary EnglishCambridge Primary MATHEMATICS focuses on principles, patterns, systems, functions and relationships so that learners can apply their mathematical knowledge and develop a holistic understanding of the subject. Knowing your times tables facts without practical application and without developing alongside some good problem solving skills is not that helpful - in our school, we make sure our pupils know why they are learning it and how they can use the specific knowledge and skill.
