Ice Skating – Year 4 and 5

Fun, fun, fun! These are the three words that perfectly describe this activity - and ice skating is simply a must during the winter season. How nice that there is an ice rink in Neustadt every year at Christmas time. Years 4 and 5 had a blast!

Christmas Spirit Across Generations

Today, our Year 2 learning partners brought joy to the residents of the Caritas-Altenzentrum St. Ulrich Neustadt with a lovely little Christmas concert.
Not only did they sing English carols, but they also shared traditional German Christmas songs, creating a beautiful moment when young and old joined together to sing O Tannenbaum. 🎄
Our Year 11 learning partners, who regularly visit the Altenzentrum as part of their Creativa lessons, accompanied the Year 2s. They had some Chris...

A Wonderful Christmas Morning

Our wonderful P&F organized a lovely Christmas event with homemade cookies, cakes, hot cocoa, and Christmas tea. Everyone was invited to wear their Ugly Christmas Jumpers, which made it even more fun!
The children enjoyed the delicious treats and then proudly hung the ornaments they had made or brought from home on our beautiful Christmas tree. This year we got the tree from Frank John- Das Hirschhorner Weinkontor and it’s perfect! 🌟
Thank you to all the parents for your s...

A ‘Motastic’ Day

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. 💙

A Pawsome Adventure at the Vet!

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...

Resilience Challenge: Bouldering!

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.

Saint Martin’s Day

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...

Movember

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...
