2019-2020 14TH ISSUE (2 DECEMBER 2019)
Last Friday, we celebrated together the Lighting of our Christmas Tree. A beautiful celebration with our whole SSIS Community singing Christmas Carols and afterwards gathering around the Christmas tree drinking hot chocolate, coffee and tea
Our ‘Looking for Learning’ event is a powerful moment for our Nursery students to share how confidently they engage in school life. Every day, they have been working to develop relationships with their teachers, friends, and environment. They have been supported to make their own choices and identify and communicate their needs.
Last Wednesday we celebrated Thanksgiving Day with a community gathering and dinner. Opportunities such as this, give us time to pause and reflect upon life's gifts. For me, I took some time consider what I am thankful for at SSIS.

As a part of our ‘How the world Works’ Unit of Inquiry, the pre-kindergarten students have been scientists who use their senses and tools to investigate how things change. We have explored all different materials including food that changes due to heating or cooling. We have found evidence of some very important things happening. We have also recorded our findings in our science journals.
Grade 4 students got on the bus to Humble Administrator's Garden at 8:33am to explore some of Suzhou's amazing history.

The football community at SSIS seems to keep growing, both in the size and skill. We are very fortunate to have such great facilities in our school to play football and to chase our dreams on the pitch.

As the busy holiday season approaches, the SSIS community paused to celebrate a season of thankfulness. On Wednesday November 27th, the Parent Student Partnership, with the help of Sodexo held the annual Thanksgiving Dinner for students, staff, and their families.
Owing to increasing popularity in the Early Years section of the school, SSIS will be opening a new Pre-Nursery class for Semester 2 of the 2019-2020 school year. This class will begin on Wednesday, February 5, 2020.
