Library article
Our library is a place where anything is possible. You can travel the world, uncover hidden mysteries, and even heal your broken emotions. Our library houses a collection of books and resources accessible to our readers from 18 months onwards. We have fiction, non-fiction, and Oxford reading level books ranging from Stage 0 to Stage 20. The collection includes books and resources across diverse genres and subjects.
The Crèche Class has also joined us in exploring the library books. It is wonderful to see them sitting and listening to the stories with great enthusiasm, which will, in time, help them develop a lifelong love of reading.
It has also been a special year for the rest of the readers across the Primary Section, as they are now free to visit the library and change their books daily, regardless of their library schedule. This has helped a large number of our readers to grow their vocabulary and develop their reading skills. A bookworm’s favourite place is the library.
The students had an opportunity to meet an author, Jerry Sesanga. During the library visit, the author shared his writing and publishing journey, read from his books, answered questions, and participated in activities related to the books and writing in general. The author also offered writing tips and advised students on how to become writers.
KISU, being an inclusive school, ensures that our library is open to the entire KISU community. It is open from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday, and from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm on Saturdays. It is also accessible during the holidays from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.

Moments of May: Learning, Swimming, and Exploring!
What a lively and rewarding month May has been in Year 2AN! It’s amazing to see how much the children have grown — not just in their skills, but in their confidence and curiosity too.
One of the big highlights was the ISAAK Swimming Gala, where our young swimmers shone brightly! Their sportsmanship and team spirit were something to be proud of. Thank you to the families who came to support. Your cheers meant the world to the swimmers!
In our maths lessons, we've been learning to read and interpret pictograms. From favourite ice cream flavours to the number of pets liked and kept by the learners in our class. We've also been working hard on telling the time, learning to read clocks to and past the hour. We even made our own.
In English, we’ve introduced explanation texts, a new and exciting genre! The children have been learning how to explain how things work and why things happen, using clear steps and specific language. We’ve seen some wonderful writing about various topics of choice.
Science has taken us into the world of habitats, where we've explored different environments, the animals and plants that live in them. We’ve also talked about how habitats can change over time, due to weather, human activity, or natural events, and what that means for the living things that call them home. The children have shown such thoughtfulness and empathy during these discussions.
Thank you for your continued support at home. It’s a joy to see each child learn and grow.
Warmest wishes,
Ms. Ann Njoki
Year 1 VG Assembly
This month, we witnessed a wonderful assembly by the Year 1VG students, where they showcased their knowledge of the seven ancient and modern wonders of the world. They also had a great time performing the poem "Where Teachers Keep Their Pets," which was part of their poetry unit, exploring rhyming words. It was a lively performance that not only captivated the audience but the students also had a blast performing on stage!

2CN Uncover the Secret of Tiny Worlds
Remember when we learned about which animals munch on plants, which gobble up other creatures, and those clever ones that eat a bit of everything? Well, 2CN took that knowledge a step further and asked a brilliant question: "Okay, but where do they actually find all that yummy food?"
This simple question sparked an incredible adventure into the world of habitats – the places animals call home. We chatted about what makes a good home for an animal, like having a cozy shelter, a refreshing drink of water, and of course, a well-stocked fridge (in animal terms!).
Then came the really exciting part: shrinking down to explore micro-habitats! Imagine tiny little worlds hidden within the bigger one. Using their magnifying glasses they became super-sleuths in our very own schoolyard.
They peeked under fallen logs, rustled through piles of leaves, and even examined the nooks and crannies of tree bark. It was like discovering secret apartments! They noticed how damp it was under the logs, how shady it was amongst the leaves, and what kind of tiny plants were growing in different spots. This helped them understand why a little woodlouse might love the damp darkness under a log, or why a spider might build its web in a sheltered corner.
Each child then chose their favourite animal and had a mission: design and imagine a perfect tiny home – a special micro-habitat – just for their chosen creature. They had to put on their thinking caps and remember everything they'd learned. What does their animal eat? Where would it feel safe and snug? What kind of environment would help it grow big and strong?

Year 1MN Reflections
You have all worked very hard, and it really showed on stage. You spoke clearly, smiled brightly, and performed with confidence. The songs and thoughts about feelings were lovely to hear and full of meaning.
You have learned so much this year not just in reading, writing, and maths, but also in being kind, brave, and good friends to each other. When you shared your thoughts about your journey in Year 1, it showed how proud and grown-up you are.
You are learning and growing every day. I am so proud of each and every one of you for standing up, speaking clearly, and doing your best.
Thank you to all the parents and families who came to watch. Your support means so much to the children and to us. We are happy you were there to share this special moment.
We hope to see you all back on stage again soon. Keep working hard, keep smiling, and always believe in yourselves.
Well done, Year 1!
Ms. Molly Nyakake
