Our male staff rocked moustaches all month long, and yesterday we capped it off with a 'Motastic' day! ✨
Everyone was invited to join the fun—whether they had grown their own ‘Mo’ or popped on a fake one. We came together, shared some laughs, and raised awareness for men’s health as supporters of the Movember movement. 💙
This morning, our Year 1 learning partners enjoyed a very special visit. As part of their GPTU lessons, where they are currently exploring their local environment with a focus on animals, they visited the veterinary practice of Dr. Perkhofer in Neustadt.
It was truly a memorable visit! Not only did the children get to witness a live animal examination, but they also explored the entire practice. They saw an X-ray of a dog's belly, learned how animals' teeth are cleaned, discovered...
Our Secondary Years Learning Partners went to the local Boulderhalle and tried their hand at bouldering—a completely new sport for some of them.
With expert coaching, they tackled new challenges, learned how to fall safely, and, most importantly, how to get back up and try again! 💪
This ties perfectly with our learner profile focus this month: resilience. 🌟 Learning to embrace failure, push through, and grow stronger is a lesson that applies far beyond the climbing wall.
Every year on November 11, children and families across Germany gather to remember Saint Martin, known for his kindness and generosity. The story goes that Martin, a Roman soldier, saw a poor man shivering in the cold and shared his warm cloak with him. Inspired by his compassion, people today celebrate with lantern processions, songs, and bonfires, lighting up the night in remembrance of sharing and caring for one another. 🕯️💛
Our Year 1 learning partners and their parents came t...
October as Pink Month has come to an end and now we’re turning our attention to November or Movember as it has become more commonly called. 📢
While October focuses on female-specific cancers, Movember shines a light on men’s health and cancer awareness.
To show our support, some of our ISN staff are growing a ‘Mo’ for the whole month! They started clean-shaven and will be growing their own distinctive pieces of facial fuzz. ✂️🧔♂️
ISN parents, if you...
Yesterday was the day we’d all been waiting for—Our Spooktacular Halloween Carnival kicked off in the afternoon! Goblins, ghouls, and little monsters gathered for a fang-tastic day filled with frights, fun, and festivities! 🧙♂️🧛♀️
Our Year 1 learning partners had been hard at work carving spooky Jack-O-Lanterns in preparation, and they had so much fun bringing these pumpkins to life! 🎃✨
A big thank you to the P&F for organizing such a fantastic even...
Did you know that October is often referred to as Pink Month? It's a time when we focus on raising awareness for female cancers.
Throughout the month, people around the world come together for activities to support cancer research and raise awareness. These activities are often exercise and fun based to highlight the fact that a healthy lifestyle and positive attitude is very helpful when battling this disease.
Today, ISN hosted a Pink Day. Learning partners, staff, and families c...
Yesterday, our Years 4-8 learning partners had an incredible opportunity to visit ESA's European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt for the Hera Mission launch event! 🌍✨
Hera is Europe's first asteroid mission, set to explore a binary asteroid system.
Our learning partners tuned in for the livestream of the launch, watching Hera take off on a SpaceX Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, USA. What a moment to witness! 🚀👏
And an extr...
Our Year 2 learning partners have been busy building shadow puppet theaters. They each chose a fairytale to re-tell using their puppets and came up with some great ideas for decorating their stages.💡🎭Today, they presented their wonderful work. Great job, everyone! 🎉✨
At ISN, we also focus on learning beyond the classroom, and this is where our Future Skills Sustainability Project comes in. 🐰🌱
Today, we welcomed two adorable bunnies to ISN! 🐇💚 This is a wonderful opportunity for our learning partners to take on responsibility, explore the animals' habitat, and understand their unique needs. With the guidance of their teachers, they'll be caring for these fluffy new friends together!
A huge thank you to Katja Vonhöne from Pferde för...
