What an amazing week we've had this week at ISS with Literacy Week Activities happening everyday. The Literacy Blog has many photos of the week showing the enthusiasm with which both children and adults engaged with stories and texts. It is special weeks like this that students will look back upon fondly in the years to come and serve to engender the love of learning that is so apparent at ISS.
Talented Teachers
A key component in ensuring great learning in any school is the talents of the teachers.
This month Ms Sharyn Skrtic has had her article 'My Journey into the World of Minecraft' chosen by the IB to be published in the prestigious Sharing PYP Blog.
