We have already enjoyed some events earned through the charity, and there are more to come!
by Rebekah O'Brien
After the charity organized for Pomocne Ruce raised over 6.000 Kc, the students earned a lot of bonus rewards beyond what we had planned for when we began. This is such a great accomplishment and adds a lot of fun to our third term. We were able to come to school in our PJs on April 16th, but thankfully nobody fell asleep in their lessons.
The students enjoyed a Pizza Day on April 23rd with every kind of pizza you can imagine being shared during the morning snack. We had so much pizza we needed to bring it to lunch and have an extra long afternoon snack as well. That was great participation! Pizza Day also kicked off an entire week without homework. What a treat! This is another treat that both students and teachers can enjoy! We are anticipating “Stripes Day” on May 2nd after the long weekend.
There are more events to come according to the student council’s calendar of rewards…
May 15th: Sit Where You Want Day
June 1st: Surprise Reward (student council will choose in cooperation with teachers)
We are working with some very compassionate and active students who are able to work together toward this common goal. The volunteers at Pomocne Ruce were so thankful and impressed by the large gift we were able to give them, and I’m sure the cats will benefit greatly from this project. Great job, ISO spellers!

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.
