Lunar New Year Celebrations - January 2023

Students in Primary and Elementary Schools celebrated Lunar New Year on Saturday, 21 January, which happened to be the Lunar New Year date this year. A Dragon Dance was performed and students enjoyed many traditional games, calligraphy and crafts. It was a wonderful experience and we thank all of those from our community who helped make this such a special event for our families.

Visiting author Andrea Wang - January 2023

In January 2023, FIS was excited to host visiting author Andrea Wang, an award-winning author of children's fiction and nonfiction picture books and middle grade novels. During her visit, elementary and primary school students had time to ask questions and learned interesting facts and stories about her life as a writer. 

Learning through Literature

The FIS PS librarian, Mrs Fields, has been intentionally diversifying the library through exploring authors from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, including more languages, and sharing books which reflect the diversity of our community and address EJB topics explicitly and implicitly. We thank Mrs Fields for making the library such a joyful and welcoming place for students to learn and grow together!

Faculty meetings

Conversations about EJB have become a regular feature of faculty meetings in the PS, during which teachers explore and engage with resources to support EJB learning in the classroom.
