In the last week, the “Lucky Lions” and “Beautiful Butterflies”classes at SISS Primary enjoyed a wonderful Diwali festival organised by a group of parents from the classes. After learning about the actual story of Diwali the children made colourful lanterns and watched a dance performance, performed by three children of the class, we had a magnificent Indian feast. We would like to thank all the parents for their hard work preparing this enjoyable morning for us. If you want to find out more about Diwali watch here. 

This is the second year that SISS Primary has attempted the “Deutsche Laufabzeichen”. Despite being a challenge that would scare many adults, the children were fantastic.

45 children ran continuously for 15 minutes while an amazing 107 girls and boys ran for 30 minutes without stopping or walking in between. The teachers are incredibly proud of the children’s achievements. You might enjoy some of their comments:

“When I finished, I thought my legs would fall off.”
“I had a stitch at 15 minutes, but kept going and did 30.”
“I thought it would be really hard but I feel really good to have done it.!
“I was so happy when I did 30 minutes.”
“The 30 was pretty long but I was happy when they did the countdown at the end.”
