At AIS we have concluded our first Unit, “Who we are” and this week the students have their Autumn break.

During the past few weeks, Grade 3 to 6 took part in some different outdoor games during the house sessions, see image above. The students were working in teams or individually to compete. House points were awarded to students for things such as cooperation, sportsmanship, participation and enthusiasm. It was great to get outside and enjoy the last of the warmer weather.

We also hosted the annual running event. Well done to all students who actively participated in the Cross Country championships at AIS! We had perfect running conditions in the forest and it was great to see all the students enjoying themselves. Special thank you to all the parent volunteers, without you we could never have had such a successful day. 

We hope everyone has a healthy and relaxing break and we are looking forward to continuing our learning next week. 

This week we completed a series of overnight cabin trips with some of our students. The younger grades were driven to Blåfjellhytta in Heggedal, while the older students endured the three hour hike there. The point of the trip was to get the students out and active in a natural surrounding. They also were taught about vegan and environmentally friendly food and prepared their own meals. Finally, it was an opportunity for them to become better acquainted with their peers and to have fun!

At school, Grade 1 has been busy colouring flags from the countries they and their families come from. The flags are hung up in our classrooms to celebrate the diversity of our students.

This week we will carry out the Nasjonale prøver for our students in Grades 5, 8 and 9. We wish our students the best of luck!
