A Farm-tastic Time!

On Tuesday the 25th of February, Reception and Year 1 went on a full-day excursion to our classmate Tonia Houssou-Lecluze’s family farm.  It was a great way to deepen our understanding of our Term 2 Topic: Food and Nutrition.

Dig up yummy roots (carrots and beets) and pluck tasty leaves (lettuce and mint)

In class, we love talking about which part of the plant our fruits and vegetables come from.  Well, at the farm, we actually got to dig up yummy roots (carrots and beets) and pluck tasty leaves (lettuce and mint)! 

Classmates even collected over two-dozen eggs

We also identified which foods come from plants and which ones come from animals.  We saw cows and their milk, chicken and their eggs.  Some of our classmates even collected over two-dozen eggs, which Tonia’s mom prepared and served with a fresh lettuce and beet salad!  Combined with the delicious vegetable fritters and samosas brought by Layal’s mom, we had a farm feast!

Animals on the farm

The children drew and coloured images of plants and animals they saw that day.  Ostriches and rabbits were favourites, by far!

On the 4th of March 2022, students from Years 10-13, under the leadership of the student council and the school administration, successfully carried out the second edition of the EIS Model United Nations.

Artistic talent was evident in the E.I.S. Middle School as students worked on drawings, paintings and pottery under the theme of Heroes and Leaders.

During our art class, the Year 5 and 6 discovered the world of Abstract Art through the eyes of Wassily Kandinsky. It inspired them to create their very own wonderful works of art that I am now sharing with you. Enjoy! Class teacher Year 5 and 6 Mrs E. Afolabi.

Year 4 pupils highly endorse the adage, "Mens sana in corpore sano."

Selina Vitho, Year 4 sums up the lesson learnt through the visits by saying the following: “I have learned that nothing good comes easy. I must work hard to achieve my dreams. I must be patient in everything I do.”
