Parent Information Evening

All students are returning on 14th August and in preparation for the year ahead, we will have a parent information evening for all parents on Thursday 17th August at 17:00. Anticipated run-time: 2 hours. 

The evening will be: 

1. An initial welcome from the principal, an introduction to staff - auditorium.
2. A brief overview of the IB
3. A brief overview of the school's development plan
4. Classroom meetings

The objectives of the classroom meetings are: 

1. To meet the teachers
2. To familiarise yourself with the school building
3. To appoint class representatives in each group
4. To discuss classroom routines with the teachers of each grade level. 
5. To meet the other parents

We will start the meeting in the auditorium. When parents arrive at the front door we will usher them in the direction of the auditorium. 

Parking: Please park at the end of the parking area as the front section is reserved. Please do not drive towards the building entrance as parking in this area is prohibited (fire evacuation area). 

This meeting is not for children. SFO will finish at the normal time of 17:00. This is event is also not intended for addressing specific issues/concerns. A separate meeting should be scheduled for this purpose.

Thank you in advance for your attention. We look forward to seeing you at school!

It was great fun to have Line visit us. She not only gave us an insight into the (long) process of making and publishing a book, she also read aloud from her books, shared stories and described the background of each of her book.

What is unique with Line is that she not only writes her books, she illustrates them as well. Because of this, the students were also given a drawing course where they learned to use geometrical figures to draw a bird, a spider, and a fly.

The students were very engaged throughout the two lessons, they asked lots of questions, shared ideas and ended the session with asking for Line's autograph. :-)

World book day

World Book Day Poster - character competition

Asker International School will be celebrating World Book Day on Monday, April 24th, 2017. The theme of this year's celebration is "A love of books is infectious - pass it on".
 
There are few better recommendations for what to read than word of mouth, and the enthusiasm of someone who really loved a book and wants to share it. It is this that we're going to try to harness. 
 
Teachers will be bringing in books that they love and want to share with others, and we will be "selling" them to the children to persuade them to come and hear us read them out loud. As well as this, we want also children to recommend books that they love, especially ones that we don't have in the school library. The aim is to build a shopping list for possible additions to our library.
 
As well as this, there will be the usual "Come as a character from a book" competition. There will be first prizes of 300 NOK giftcards at www.ark.no for the winners, as well as two second prizes of 200 NOK giftcards. We will have two separate competitions and prizes for PYP and MYP students. 
 
The winning entries will: 
  1. bring a copy of the book their character appears in with them
  2. be able to talk about the book and the character
  3. show creativity in their costume
We hope that World Book Day will fun for everyone, as well as being a celebration of reading. If you have any questions, please get in contact with This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
