Can you count to
10? Year 1 can!
Year 1 had an
exciting day on
Thursday
celebrating our
school's 10th
anniversary.
We decided to do
lots of activities
based around the
number 10.
We made 'pop up'
cards, wonderful
hats, wrote 10
things that we liked
about our school
and we even
discussed what we
would look like in
10 years time.
Mr. Holden thought
about this and
began to cry!
We then ended
the day with a
fabulous party and
lots of dancing.
The teachers even
had a go too!

MIS is 10 years old
–WOW!
That’s older than
any of the children
in year one. To
mark this special
event, the children
had a variety of
activities. They
were challenged
to construct out of
10 blocks only.
They also thought
about what they
would look like
and where they
would be when
they are 10 years
older, they
created great
drawings and
writing pieces for
this. They got
creative and
made anniversary
cards and party
hats. The children
also enjoyed
writing and
drawing 10 things
they liked about
MIS!
We ended our day
with a joyful party.

Year 6

Bi-Weekly Newsletter
Year 6 enjoyed an
action packed
exciting day to
mark the school’s
tenth birthday.
The children took
part in a carousel
of activities. They
tested their powers
of perception in a
quiz where they
had to identify
various areas of
the school from
photographs taken
at unusual angles.
The children also
wrote sonnets
about our
wonderful school;
a sonnet is a 14 line
poem with each
line consisting of
ten syllables.
They also explored
Zentangle patterns
by splitting their
work into ten
sections, creating
wonderful pieces
of original art using
a variety of
designs.
They also made healthy kebabs from
apples, bananas, melons, oranges
and grapes. To finish off the activity
they tasted a, not so healthy,
marshmallow dripping in chocolate.
To round off the day, in Numeracy
they converted the numbers in bases
2, 3 and 4 into base ten.
The highlight for the children was
tasting the truly wonderful food on
offer. So, the Year 6 team would like
to take this opportunity to thank our
valued parents from the bottom of
our hearts for the wonderful dishes all
the families prepared to make this
occasion.

Example Sonnet
(By William
Shakespeare)
A Shakespearean
sonnet is generally
written in iambic
pentameter, in
which there are 10
syllables in each
line. The rhythm of
the lines must be as
below:
“When forty winters
shall besiege thy
brow,
And dig deep
trenches in thy
beauty’s field,
Thy youth’s proud
livery so gazed on
now,
Will be a totter’d
weed of small
worth held:
Then being asked,
where all thy
beauty lies,
Where all the
treasure of thy lusty
days;
To say, within thine
own deep sunken
eyes,
Were an all-eating
shame, and
thriftless praise.

Shall I Compare Thee To A Super Sonnet?
Loads of children are from different countries
One of our favourite class lessons is Maths
We play games that make us learn a lot more
Teachers rule school trips and yes that’s a fact
Lessons are so much fun when teachers joke
We like our school because it’s really fun
Our favourite teacher is Mrs. Salisbury
Use your imagination all the time
We came far away to come here today
Remember to listen to your teacher
This school lets you have trips to fun places
PE is always fun for everyone
Non-uniform days are so amazing
We also enjoy learning ICT

How much more
praise deserv’d thy
beauty’s use,
If thou couldst
answer ‘This fair
child of mine
Shall sum my
count, and make
my old excuse,’
Proving his beauty
by succession
thine!
This were to be
new made when
thou art old,
And see thy blood
warm when thou
feel’st it cold.”
The rhyme scheme
of the
Shakespearian
sonnet is abab–
cdcd–efef–gg,
which is difficult to
follow. Hence, only
Shakespeare is
known to have
done it.

Activity 3:
Did you know
there are 10 parts
of the body that
only have 3 letters?
In Year 2 we
celebrated the
school’s 10th
Anniversary by
trying to find these
10 body parts.
It’s much harder
than you think!
First we drew
around a body
and then we
labeled the body
parts we could
think of. It turned
out to be a bit of a
phonics lesson too
as we discussed
the differences
between a word
having 3 letters
(e.g. leg – L-E-G)
and a word having
3 sounds e.g. neck
– N- E- CK.
The best score we
got was 9.

Mountain of
Hope
Mesaieed International School
Bi-Weekly Newsletter
HOPINGTwo weeks ago we
decided we wanted
to build a Mountain
of Hope.
Nobody was quite
sure what the
response would be.
Nobody was quite
sure how big our
mountain would be.
Nobody was entirely
sure how our
community would
respond.
But we had hope…
Two weeks have
passed.
The response has
been far bigger
than we had
hoped.
The mountain is now
much bigger than
we had hoped.
The community
response has been
so much bigger
than we had
hoped.
Together we have
built a Mountain of
Hope.
Thank you all for
giving Hope to our
Indonesian friends in
their time of need.

Hope

HOPINGThe situation in
Palu, Indonesia is
still dire but to
know that we
have so many
around us that
have contributed
clothes, food,
prayers, time and
effort has certainly
made our hearts
swell with pride!
And we are sure it
will all be received
with joy.
Community spirit
doesn't stop in
Mesaieed.
We are all part of
a larger
community, a
larger family.
So if our family is
sad, in need of
assistance, it is
wonderful to see
that we respond,
selflessly and
willingly.
