2009—2010 Volume 3 (January-February)
ISB is expanding. A villa has been rented in Pipera and staff are
working hard to convert it to ISB's Early Learning Centre, a school
for under seven years olds. The building is on four floors and has
ample space for classrooms, a cafeteria and a PE room. The villa is
set in a mature garden, providing plenty of shaded areas for outdoor
fun. The Early Learning Centre will follow the same National
Curriculum for England and Wales as ISB does, making it a great
place for young children to start their education and then transfer
to ISB when they are older. If you are interested in viewing or
enrolling your child at ISB's Early Learning Centre please contact
Cristina Sirbu on 021 306 9530. ISB's Early Learning Centre will be
fully operational by September 2010, but will except children for
daycare from mid-April. Come and take a look it will be a very
special place for children to learn.
To celebrate World

Students in our primary school enjoy attending our wide
range of club activities. The clubs allow students to work and
play together. Many of the activities are offered in a range of ages,
which allow the enhancement and development of social
skills. Clubs run both after-
school and at lunch
break. Clubs are all great fun!
With the opening of several new
clubs; violin, climbing, recorder,
detectives and culture of character, this
term promises to be the most exciting yet! We now
offer 21 different clubs to our students on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursdays.
The new program of summer clubs will be announced
after the half term break. Hurry up to register as soon as
they are announced because some popular clubs fill up
very quickly.
Friday 5th February was
party day at ISB. The day
started with the Nursery
party organised by Brigitte
Vondenhoff. The children
played games, painted
their noses red, sang
songs and ate a delicious
lunch. In the afternoon it
was the turn of Reception
and Key Stage One. The
children changed into their
party clothes, played
games, ate a delicious
snack, enjoyed a clown
show and tried to get the
sweets from inside a
pinata. After school it was
the turn of the KS2
students, who enjoyed a
Salsa dancing competition.
A huge thank you to
Ismene Reeves, and all of
the parents and teachers
who made this event such
a lot of fun for the childen.

As part of ISB’s Winter Sports Activities, children
from Key Stage 2 went to Predeal for a day’s
skiing on Saturday 30th of January 2010. You
can see all the fabulous photos by checking out
our gallery section (www.isb.ro).
This was a fantastic opportunity for children to
learn to ski or simply to enjoy a day skiing with
their friends. The programme included a ski lesson with professional ski
instructors, food, fun games and other PE activities related to winter sports.
The children were very excited
but were a real credit to their
school showing off their best
behavior.
Like all these events they don’t
happen by magic and I would like
to thank all the parents and
teachers that helped during the day. The ski trip was another great
success and again we all just can’t wait for the next one!
Ice-skating Week has become a tradition at
ISB as this is now the second year when
children and teachers from Key Stage 2
have gone to Cismigiu Park.
Each day of the week, a different year group,
have been improving their skills on the ice.
The children had so much fun and it was
great seeing so many smiles on their faces.
The teachers enjoyed seeing the children’s confidence grow as they sped
round the ice. I think everyone agreed that they now can’t wait for next
year’s ice skating week. However, if you don’t do already why not take your children yourself. It’s a great way to
have a family day out! And if you can’t skate yourself you don’t have to worry as they will teach you themselves!

PTA
Traditional Dance Evening
Dear Parents,
The PTA is organizing a
Dancing Evening for
parents and teachers, on
Friday 26th February
2010, 8pm, at the
exclusive Floreasca Club.
We will be learning
Greek and Romanian Traditional Dances.
The tickets will be 120 Ron/person, and will be
available from the Primary School Secretary from
Monday 22 February.
The ticket will include a buffet and drinks.
We hope you can come as we look forward to spending
the evening with you.
On Monday 25th January as the
students were leaving ISB,
teachers from all around the city
were arriving to attend the
Bucharest Early Years Group
meeting. Teachers from five
other international schools
came to ISB to look at resources
and share ideas concerning
interesting places to take
students on trips. Our visitors were very impressed and
complimentary about our school, and enjoyed looking
at the attractive displays created by our teachers. This
was also a great opportunity for teachers to network
with people doing similar jobs elsewhere in the city.
Thank you very much to Kati Rhodes for organising this
highly successful event.
‘Non uniform’ day for Haiti Our students are truly International and they are interested
in their world. Everyone saw the terrible news from Haiti
and ISB students thought:
" What can we do?" So, the student Council, led by Ms.
Denise and Ms. Daiana came up with the idea of "Fashion
Without Borders".
On Friday 12th February students are coming to school in
their fashionable clothes. They are all paying a "Fashion
Fine" of at least 10 RON
to help the people of Haiti. Ms Sorana, Ms Daiana and Ms
Blessy have also been busy with groups of creative students,
making badges and friendship bracelets.
Fashion Accessories for a good cause!
Ms Sorana will also be painting faces at breaktimes - so
Secondary students will be even more beautiful than
normal. We hope to raise a record amount for Haiti!
The students and staff in Key Stage One have been
working really hard this term to create the production
'Mr. Skellybones'. A musical all about the human body.
The children have learnt songs about healthy food and
exercise, and the function of different parts of their
bodies. They have learnt dances and helped to make
scenery for the show. This has all linked closely with
the Science units they have been learning about this
term. Thank you to all of the KS1 staff for making this
event happen, despite the snow, and to Ms. Adina for
accompanying the children so beautifully on the piano.
