Friday 4th June was one of those days when everything was happening at the same time. From Nursery to Year 3, seven classes took part in their Junior sports day. We had great weather this year and were able to complete all the events and enjoy our packed lunches. Many thanks to the Year 4 parents who provided further refreshments and also to Mrs Kläth and the teachers for their organization.
Kindergarten took part in Sports day and still had the energy to perform a show of songs in English to a large audience of parents and relatives. The songs have been taught in half groups by Ms Adam and Ms Vikman while the other half of the group have done phonetics with Mrs Johansson and Mrs lindsjö.
At the other end of the scale and in the evening, we held our first High School Ball for the Senior classes. The event was well attended with a buffet, DJ's and photographer. The Prince and Princess of the Ball were Noah and Olivia from Year 7 and the King and the Queen were Babatunde and Lynne from Year 9 as voted by their peers. This eventwas entirerly oganized by parents and excellently done so. We now hope to make the High School Ball an annual event.

Both classes travelled on the tram to Stora Torp in Delsjön. Our day was split between the Kamrat Bana, where the children have to work together to solve problems at each station, and free games in the park. Here are some of their comments.
- "The obstacle course was fun and we didn't spill any water."
- "Our whole team was needed to get us over the electric fence" ( pretend)
- "It was great fun to have free play in the park."
- "We had fun in the climbing team."
- "It was fun to play truth or dare."
- "Denis and Leo did a "James Bond" jump through the spider's net.
- "The labyrinth at the end of the day was exciting."
It seems that everyone enjoyed their day out!

On Tuesday year 2 went to the mosque. When we arrived we went into the library. Sabahat ( an old pupil) gave us an interesting talk about Islam. We then asked lots of questions. Next we went into the prayer hall. We had to take off our shoes. We saw where to stand when prayers are said, facing Mecca. Bilal gave the call to pray and everyone clapped. The Imam took some photos of the class and then gave us all an ice cream and a pen.

As an end of term trip year 5 have been away overnight on a canoeing trip. They packed a great deal in to two days aside from canoeing. A talent show, swimming ( the water was cold), a treasue hunt, poäng promenade and a game called the Battle of Hastings! They promise me they did go to sleep for a bit and they loved the feast provided by Mr Safarloo. The class would like to thank Ms Jarnskog, Mr Smith, Mr Safarloo, Mrs Janzon, Ms Satahoo, Mr Ohlsen and Ms Abduladif.

On Monday and Tuesday 17th and 18th May the younger classes were mixed up for our two day Invention Convention. Firstly the children came up with problems they would like to solve. They thought of 132 different problems like ‘how can I brush my teeth when I am too tired, how to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, how can I tie my shoelaces automatically, how to stop my indoor shoes getting lost, how to eat an ice cream without dripping on yourself, how to keep the honey bees off my food and how to keep my fruit fresh when I come to school. I’m sure you have been worrying about some of these and now we have answers to some of them!
From the 132 problems the children decided which they would like to work on. Then they worked together to plan and draw their designs and think about the resources they would need. Thank you all for the huge amount of items that you sent in for us to use in our designs. It gave the children lots to choose from and helped them to be very creative.
Once we had decided what we needed we collected our parts and set about making our inventions. We made a big mess (now tidied up) but at the same time we had some great ideas. Next we will choose the best inventions that will be shown at the ‘Inspiring Innovative Youth’ event in June as part of the Think Britain Festival. Parents of winning entrants will be invited.

Year 5 took part in a football tournament on Wednesday, Energikicken. Over 400 classes started the tournament and after playing well our class progressed to the Gold finals on Friday. Unfortunately they finally lost to a team from IFK Göteborg 5 -2, although at that stage they were the only team to score against this opposition.

You may have recently seen Year 9 featured twice in GT as they trained for and took part in Göteborgsvarvet.( the articles are in a frame outside Mr. potter's office). Eleven students completed the 5.1 km course and by doing so they won a prize of 10 000 SEK. This will go towards their end of year trip to Prague. A good team effort resulting in something to support the whole class. Thank you to Mr Jenkins for oganising the school's participation in this event.
