The sports day in June 2024 started a little wet - just as all the classes had arrived at the stadium and the warm-up was about to begin, it started to rain. We briefly considered cancelling the day, but then decided to go ahead with the sports day as planned.

And that turned out to be the right decision - the warm-up still took place in the rain, but that couldn't stop the athletes.

The children completed their four stations in the morning with great enthusiasm and much success - and were able to relax and enjoy snacks in the playground during the breaks.

We would like to thank everyone without whom the sports day would not have been possible: the parent helpers, the school paramedics, the teachers and carers and, last but not least, our dedicated sports teachers.

As always, we would also like to thank the "FriendsofSISS" Förderverein, who donated a refreshing ice cream for the children and all the helpers at the end of the day.

We are already looking forward to Sportsday 2025!

The Y3 Fantastic Foxes students made their school radio debut in July 2023.

Limericks are short poems that are funny. They always have 5 lines and follow a specific rhyming pattern. Limericks began in England in the early 1700s and were made famous by the poet Edward Lear in the 1800s. Each student wrote their own limerick and recorded a reading of it to air on the school radio station. The visit to the on-campus recording studio was extra special because the students were studying the topic Sound in their Science lessons.
