Headteacher’s Message Dear Parents & Students, It has been an exciting month of showcasing, celebrations and competitions as well as a time for reflection and awareness, thank you for your support throughout our events.

The Open Day was a huge success with many parents learning a great deal about our teaching and learning methods. It was wonderful to see so many parents getting involved in the lessons and, of course, the children loved having their Mummies and Daddies in school.

The Inter-house Sports competitions were fantastic. The children’s skills really are developing extremely well - so much so that the winning house team (the Saxons) beat the teacher team - and they certainly did not make it easy for them. In other sports news, we now have two teams in the local Marbella Football league - you can read how their season has started later on. We also have a basketball squad in the making, watch this space.

Next on the events calendar was ‘International Day for the Eradication of World Poverty’. Leading up to the event, the children spent their lessons focusing on the inequalities in the world and the changes that need to happen now if we want change. The children genuinely seemed outraged when we discussed the millions of people across the world that are living in extreme poverty and could not make sense of how the human race can

be so unjust. Some of them have already decided to change some of their own habits in an effort to make positive changes to the world. We will be continuing this theme throughout next month as we focus on our Charter Value of ‘Awareness’.

Last but by no means least, October would not be complete without the celebration of Halloween. There really were some ghastly ghouls and spooky characters roaming the corridors of BISM. The children and staff looked fantastic! Thank you to the parents for providing amazing costumes and tasty treats.

It’s been a great month but none of this would have been possible if it were not for the hard work and creativity of our staff so I would like to take this opportunity to thank them all for a fantastic month of events.

With very best wishes, Ms Sian Kirkham

Our Budding Chefs

Shape Witches

The Pre-Nursery children had lots of fun making jam sandwiches. They used their 2d shape knowledge to choose from an image of a square or triangle. To determine whether they wanted a square sandwich or a triangle sandwich.

They used children’s knives to spread the jam, they needed a little help to cut them into shapes.

The children have begun to look at 2D shapes this week, we have been spotting 2D shapes in the environment and learning some special 2D shape songs. We managed to bring together our work on shape with our celebration of Halloween and created some super shape witches.

The children were very patient waiting their turn for the jam, and watching each other to see how to make the sandwiches.

The end result was a jammy masterpiece!

The children enjoyed tasting it for their morning snack.

The children were very proud of themselves and showed great independence throughout the activity.

Watch out Gordon Ramsey, I think you have competition!

Mrs Pottinger Pre-Nursery Teacher

The children were given different 2D shapes to find and organise to create their very own witch. The children were able to talk about the properties of the shapes they wanted to use and we were so impressed with how they described the shapes they wanted to use.

“I need the big long rectangle for my hair” said Luca.

“Please can I have a big black triangle for her hat” said Nika.

The children then independently stuck their witch together and were very proud of their work.

Well done, Nursery!

Reception Puzzled!

The children in Reception were left puzzled when they were handed a coloured piece of card and told to ‘do it’. With no instructions at all, first they had to find the friends with the matching colour piece and then they had to put together the pieces to make the puzzle.

It was interesting to sit back and watch to see who could work out what to do, who took the lead and who sat back to observe what was going on before doing anything. We were very surprised!

It didn’t take the children long to work out what the task was and the cheers that erupted when the final team worked out their puzzle was so loud it could be heard upstairs!

Well done, Reception!

Fantastic Phonics

Science Investigation

The children’s reading and writing has gone from strength to strength during this first half term of the year. The importance of recognising sounds cannot be underestimated for their reading and writing skills. Each week the class learns two new sounds and consolidate by playing fun interactive games with their peers.

This month for example, the children have been playing phonics snakes and ladders, card matching games and a spin to win game! The class really enjoys playing with sounds and consolidating their skills through play. As a result I am sure that you have noticed an improvement in their reading and writing skills.

Keep on working hard at home with your children with their homework and I am sure we will see even further improvement.

Mr Thomas Year One Teacher

Year Two have been learning about animals and humans in science. They have explored the different stages of growth in humans and how these stages affect the body. This got the Year Two’s interested in just how else age affects the body. They decided to investigate!!

The question they wanted answered was ‘Does getting older mean you get faster?’

There were lots of different predictions and the class were divided in their ideas.

So armed with stopwatches, they decided to find out the answer. The class each had a go at running a race whilst the others timed them.

Once recorded, they invited some of the older children in the school to perform the same movements whilst being timed.This provided the class with their results from which they were able to answer the initial question.

The class showed great investigative skills throughout and they should be very proud.

Well done, Year Two!!

Year 3 Powderpaint with the Headteacher The children of Year 3 got a lovely surprise when Ms Kirkham came to our classroom to teach us how to use powder paint.

Ms Kirkham demonstrated how you could use different quantities of powder and water to get the exact thickness of paint you desired. We also learnt the importance of cleaning your paintbrush before putting it in another colour of powder.

The children were were very excited when given a free reign to paint whatever they liked and produced paintings of real quality and diversity, from flowers to tanks, from doughnuts to dinosaurs!

Have a look at the pictures and see for yourself.

Thanks, Ms Kirkham!

Rainforest Dreams Assembly Trip to the Bio Park The children of Year 3 dazzled the audience as they performed a fantastic assembly whilst delivering an important message about the threat to rainforests all around the world.

Supported by Mr Everist they performed two wonderful songs about the rainforest and taught us that we need to start thinking about how to protect the rainforests and the plant and animal life found there.

Year 3 sent out a message about being more sustainable in terms of what we use.

Using less, reusing what we do use and then recycling it when we are finally finished with it.

In Year 3 we are all trying to bring reusable water bottles to school and turn off the lights whenever we leave the classroom. We will also be helping at some beach cleans planned in the local community because rubbish that is found on the beach is not necessarily local to us. It could be washed up on our beaches from the other side of the world. Similarly our rubbish could end up on the beaches of the Amazon and other rainforests. We should all try to reduce, reuse and recycle.

Mr Holden Year Three Teacher

The children of Year 3 had a fantastic day at Bio Parc Zoo in Fuengirola learning about animals from many different parts of the world, including many that live in rainforests!

The children have been learning about rainforests in class and it was lovely to see how excited they got when our guide mentioned anything to do with them on our tour.

There was an array of wonderful creatures and I think the guide was pleasantly surprised by how much the children knew about different animals.

Towards the end of our tour we got to see a show where the animals (inspired by food!) put on quite a display. After all the walking around the zoo, the children all had a well deserved lunch before returning happily on the bus to school.

Year 4 Melting, Evaporating and Condensing!

This term, Year 4 have been learning all about states of matter and how the atoms behave differently in solids, liquids and gases. They have learnt about the Water Cycle and the processes that make this possible.

To understand how particles have an impact on the process of melting, the class undertook an experiment with ice in cups.

They decided on 4 locations that might help the ice to melt quickly: on the balcony in the sun, on the top floor in the sun, covered in lots of warm clothes and in a bowl of warm water. Then they predicted which one would melt the quickest and measured the amount of melted water after 20 minutes to see if their predictions were correct.

Can you guess which location helped the ice to melt the fastest?! If you’d like to know, ask your children for the answer and if they can explain why the particles helped with this melting process (it is not an easy explanation!).

We have now finished our unit on States of Matter and we will be moving onto our second Science unit all about Living Things.

Bewitching Big Writes!

Hubble, bubble, toil and TROUBLE! The (not so troublesome!) Year 5s have been brewing up some terrifying tales during their Halloween Themed Big Write.

As part of Halloween week, the children created their own spooky stories, filled with gruesome characters and terrifying twists.

Year 5 have been working very hard in Literacy and have tried their best to include powerful vocabulary, a variation of punctuation and writing devices in order to make their writing exciting.

In Art, Year 5 looked at the festival of Day of the Dead, the Mexican tradition of remembrance for lost loved ones. The children learned about the importance of the festival and the Calavera, the sugar skulls used as decorations upon alters, gravestones and homes. The children also learned about the colours used and their significant meanings.

In class, Year 5 designed their own sugar skull, incorporating these colours into their own designs. They also looked at symmetry and added this to the final outcome. The results were spook-tacular!!!!

Year 6

Calculating the Areas of 2D Shapes Year 6 have been looking at how to calculate the area of 2D shapes. We started with how to calculate the area of rectilinear shapes and they came up with the formula of A = L x W. All you need to do is multiply the length by the width. We further explored this and discovered that I could have two or more rectilinear shapes put together which then make one compound shape. The children very quickly realised that all I need to do is split my compound shape into two or more smaller rectangles, calculate each area separate and then add all the areas together. Easy!

We then moved on to finding the area of a triangle, which is actually just half of any quadrilateral (4 sided shape). We worked on the formula for calculating the area of a triangle and the children were surprised to see how easy it actually is. You take the base length, multiply it by the height and then divide it by 2.

So ½ (b x h) or b x h 2 The children are now experts in calculating areas of different rectilinear and triangular shapes. Now to test if the parents can keep up with their mastermind mathematician children.

See if you can solve this problem.

The Bayeux Tapestry The Bayeux Tapestry is a remarkable artefact which takes us back nearly a thousand years. The tapestry, which is actually an embroidery, needlework of wool sewn onto linen, was commissioned to celebrate William’s conquest of England in 1066.

Through study of the tapestry the children learned of the succession of Harold Godwineson after the death of Edward the Confessor. They also added to their understanding of the Anglo Saxons’ defeat at the Battle of Hastings to William of Normandy (later known as William the Conqueror).

After analysing the artefact, the children worked in groups to recreate scenes depicting significant events, including perhaps the most famous, that of Harold with an arrow in his eye.

Rock Detectives

Year 8 pupils spent a lesson learning about different rocks after previously taking a trip to the centre of the earth! They were amazed by the different rock types and spent time learning about how rocks are formed. They used magnifying glasses to look closely at 10 different rocks, they had to notice layers, crystals and grains.

They linked the characteristics of the rock to where it had formed and discussed which rocks they thought should be grouped together, they were able to justify their ideas using their knowledge of rock types. Rocks may be igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic.

Sedimentary rocks have distinct layers and are formed under pressure at the bottom of our oceans. Igneous rocks are formed both inside and outside of a volcano when the magma and lava cool. They contain crystals, the size depends on the rate at which they cooled. Finally the metamorphic rocks form deep inside the earth under extreme heat and pressure, they used to be sedimentary or igneous rocks that have been ‘changed’.

Marble is a metamorphic rock that used to be limestone!

They will go and learn about the rock cycle and how all of these processes link together, coupled with their previous topic on weathering and erosion!

Halloween 2018

Devilishly Despicable Discos and Dastardly Dares

It was a hair-raising Halloween at BISM. The costumes were fangtastic! First to celebrate were the Foundation Stage with their party. They had a great disco and really enjoyed making each other into mummies in the toilet roll challenge!

Lower School came next with ghoulish games and monster moves on the dance floor! It was great to see the children enjoying the old favourites, such as the time warp!

Middle school finished the day in frightful style with malevolent moves on the dance floor. A group of students in Middle school also were treated (or tricked!) to a fun football and basketball tournament, which saw screaming goals and batty baskets!

As ever the Halloween parties would not be the same without the fantastic decorations by the EFC. A huge thank you to the EFC and to all the parents who brought in treats and snack for the buffet.

I can`t wait for next year!

PSHE

Eradication of World Poverty Day ‘In a world characterized by an unprecedented level of economic development, technological means and financial resources, that millions of persons are living in extreme poverty is a moral outrage. Poverty is not solely an economic issue, but rather a multidimensional phenomenon that encompasses a lack of both income and the basic capabilities to live in dignity.’ (United Nations, 2018).

This year, BISM have chosen to join the fight against world poverty. This was demonstrated during the Eradication of World Poverty Festival here in school.

The preparations for the event started in the classroom, with the children focusing on poverty within their PSHE lessons.

The Music department also included the emotional songs as part of their music teaching.

On the day of the festival, the Foundation Stage children starred in a sponsored Sing-a-Thon in order to raise money for ‘the people who don’t have as much as we do’ (Sienna, Reception Class). They raised a huge 209€. It was a fun morning focusing on celebrating the happy songs that the children enjoy singing while raising money for such a worthy cause.

The Lower School performance included some beautiful singing across the Key Stage.

Year 1 made posters that really capture the key elements of the fight against poverty.

Year 2 made some insightful acrostic poems showing the children’s learning throughout the week. Year 3 shared their own thoughts on poverty, with lovely readings from Sofia K and Ebba. Year 4 shared their acrostic poems that really encouraged people to act now.

The Middle School started their festival with thoughtful speeches from Wael,

Anastasia, Max and Adriana in Year 5 after watching a ‘hard hitting’ (Esme, Year 5) video about war.

This was followed by a powerful video message from Year 6. Year 7 considered ways that we can work together to help eradicate poverty both locally and globally and Year 8 explained about our chosen charity for the year Hogar Betania. Again their musical input was a credit to the school and the music department.

Thank you all for your help and support at all of our charitable events, let’s continue to work together to help others and demonstrate to our children the power of giving.

Musical Opposites

Middle School Music

Carnival of the Animals

Year 5 have been studying a famous piece of music called ‘The Carnival of the Animals’ which was written by the French composer Camille Saint-Saens. This piece of music, made up of 14 short ‘musical sketches’ shows how composers explore the inter-related dimensions of music and how music can be used to paint an aural picture.

The children have been able to use technical terms alongside their knowledge of the inter-related dimensions of music to describe what they hear.

Foundation Stage has been exploring how the Interrelated Dimensions Of Music (IDoM) make music sound like…music.

With a particular focus on Pulse, Rhythm and Pitch, the children of Foundation Stage have been using their voices, their bodies, scarves, their thinking voices and the rainbow bells to see how musical concepts work and fit together to create interesting music.

The children, through various forms of exploration, can tell the difference between short and long notes (rhythm), high and low notes (pitch) and a steady beat (pulse). The children demonstrate their understanding of these IDoM using objects such as scarves.

They can move them in time to the pulse; use them to show high and low pitch and also to show whether the music is smooth (legato) or spiky (staccato).

The use of the body and different objects to express music helps the children to translate these, often difficult, concepts with greater success on to the tuned and unturned percussion instruments we use in class.

Using the rainbow bells and matching colourful ´magic`notes, the children are now able to play a popular children´s melody as an ensemble.

We´re keeping it a secret though as we´re going to perform it in a concert soon!

Ms Conlan Lower School Music Teacher

Although talk should never dominate music lessons, there have been opportunities to explore vocabulary describing the musical characteristics of Saint-Saens’ animals – for example, the ‘brittle’ timbre of the xylophone in ‘Fossils’ and the ‘silvery’ quality of the glockenspiel in ‘Aquarium’. Studying Saint-Saens’ music has also allowed the children to explore and find out more about the instruments of the orchestra – the Strings, the Woodwind, the Brass and the Percussion, and we were able to watch online some of our favourite pieces of music, including the James Bond theme, being played by professional orchestras.

The children have worked extremely hard and amazed themselves with how much information they knew about music without realising. It was also interesting to note how many of the different short pieces that make up the ‘Carnival’ are really famous and how they have been used – ‘Aquarium’ was used in the film ‘Babe’, ‘The Swan’ was used in a video game called ‘Burnout Paradise’ and ‘The Elephant’ has even been used in an episode of ‘The Simpsons’.

We have all really enjoyed investigating this piece and the children’s interest in classical music has certainly been (re)invigorated!

Calaveras Literarias Another month has come and gone and we have said goodbye to October with our scariest costumes… after all, “this is Halloween, this is Halloween”, or so the song goes. In the Spanish Team, though, we have tried to go beyond and build a bridge between cultures, making our students aware of the Spanish-speaking counterpart to All Hallows’ Eve, the Mexican Day of The Dead.

We wanted our students to contrast and compare both holidays, and even to make connections with stories they are surely familiar with, especially after the blockbuster animated films Coco and The Book of Life.

Far from being a spooky holiday, the Day of the Dead is a colourful, lively celebration of death. These days teem with skeletons and skulls (calaveras), make them sugar skulls for friends. Death is not to be dreaded, and the Mexicans even dare to make fun of it.

In the Spanish-as-a-first-language group in Year 8 we have wanted to study El Día de los Muertos from a literary point of view.

Students were introduced to Calaveritas literarias, a traditionally Mexican short poem of a witty, humorous or mocking nature. A calaverita is not only a literary vehicle for social and political satire, but also a playful poetic composition to dedicate to friends on these days. In these poems, Death, sometimes referred to as La Huesuda, Calaca, or Catrina, is personified and laughed at after an unsuccessful attempt at taking somebody’s life. Students in Year 8 have had fun working on their own Calaveritas literarias and some of them already seem to aim high.

Charity Sports Event The Charity House Competition was a huge success and a great fun event for the children. Middle School were up first and the showed off their fantastic football skills and ball handling skills in a range of ball-themed activities and five aside interhouse games.

The football matches were so close, with all the children playing well. The results reflected this, with the Saxons beating the Romans by a goal difference of only 2 points! The Saxons then continued their winning streak by beating the teachers in a close run game, with Mr Holden playing on valiantly with an injured knee!

The Saxons also won the ball-a-thon activities, with a total of 61 points, making them the overall Middle school winners. The children had a fantastic time and behaved extremely well, both by participating and supporting their team members.

The Lower school then showed off their football skills, with the Vikings playing exceptionally well and winning overall. The Vikings also won the ball-a-thon activities, with a grand total of 106! This landslide victory placed them ahead of the Saxons and nudged them into lead position making them the winners overall!

The House Captains proved to be an asset to the PE Department by supporting throughout. They coached, encouraged and organised their teams. A huge thank you to Alex BaraĂąano, Michael Mamaladze, Max Holden and Max Death Martell who coached the Lower school teams. Also, I want to extend my gratitude to Sophia Gibson, Sergio Perez de Mendoza Solod and Agatha Watkins, who stepped in at the last moment to cover for absent House Captains.

Finally, the event could not have gone ahead without the support of the teachers, especially Mr Kuhn, Mr Herron and Mr Holden who played alongside myself and Mr Marland against the formidable Saxons. Mr Holden supported the event throughout and continued to referee for the Lower School, even when injured! A true sportsman!

What an exciting event, I can´t wait for the next one!

Talking Point

Do We Focus Enough On Our Destination?

As teachers, parents and carers we all have a common vision - to provide our children with the best education that we can both at home and at school. But what is a good education and what is a good education provider? Is it a school with the best academic results? The best sports programme and facilities? The best creative opportunities? Or is it a school that instills values that enable children to grow into selfless, respectable, altruistic citizens?

If we truly want to make a difference and positively affect the future then we have to be clear about our destination. We only have to turn on the news or pick up a newspaper to witness man’s inhumanity to man. I am sure we would all prefer to send our children into a very different world when the time comes for them to venture off on their own. If we want change then we have to instill in our children a core set of values to go into the future with. Of course, being well read and literate are important as is being able to use maths effectively, but these should be seen as secondary to something far more important instilling values. Aristotle said ‘Education is a moral pursuit in which everybody should flourish’. If we are clear of our aim and our destination, then we start to see everything else as either stepping stones to help us on our journey or boulders to navigate around.

Academic studies help us to make sense of the world around us, the arts enable us to value and enjoy our world, sports teach us to be resilient and courageous - all stepping stones in reaching our destination. If we are clear of our destination then when obstacles are placed in our way we find creative, innovative ways to move around them before getting back on track.

As teachers, parents and carers we sometimes need to remind ourselves what it is we really want for our children and their future rather than getting preoccupied with the journey..

If you would like to discuss these issues with other parents and myself, please join us at our next ‘Coffee with Ms Kirkham’ on Tuesday 27th November at 09:00.

Picture News Earlier this month, a 2006 spray painting, by the famous graffiti artist Banksy, ended up being shredded as soon as it was sold. The print was in a large frame that had a shredder hidden inside it, as soon as the sale was confirmed the image headed down towards the shredder. The picture was a print of one of Banksy’s most famous works “Girl With Balloon.”

Lots of people believe it to be a planned stunt though, as Banksy went on social media saying “Going, going gone” as the shredding happened. “Going, going, gone” is what an auctioneer says before selling to the highest bidder. The art work sold for £1 million before it’s shredding, It’s now thought to be worth double!

Useful links: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-45770028 https://youtu.be/vxkwRNIZgdY So the question for discussion this month could be ‘Who decides what is art?’.

Look at the poster image and talk about what we see. What do we already know about this week’s news story? Explain that Banksy is a very famous artist, but no one knows who he really is.

Read through the information below taken from Banksy’s Wikipedia profile. Does any of the information surprise you?

Banksy is an anonymous England-based street artist, vandal, political activist, and film director. His street art and epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stencilling technique. His works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world. Banksy’s work grew out of the Bristol underground scene, which involved collaborations between artists and musicians. Banksy’s name and identity remain unconfirmed and the subject of speculation. In a 2003 interview with Simon Hattenstone of The Guardian, Banksy is described as ‘white, 28, scruffy casual – jeans, T-shirt, a silver tooth, silver chain and silver earring.’ He began as an artist at the age of 14, was expelled from school, and served time in prison for petty crime.

According to Hattenstone, “anonymity is vital to him because graffiti is illegal”.

Why do you think he may have chosen to stay anonymous? How do you think he has managed to keep his identity a secret?

Do you think that graffiti is a form of art? Why? Do you think Banksy’s work and other graffiti artists work can spread important messages that may not be able to reach people in other ways? Discuss Banksy’s 2017 piece ‘Dover, Brexit’ and the meaning behind it.

SCHOOL NEWSLETTER

Picture News Do you think something can be art to one person and not to another?

Do you think graffiti should be classed as vandalism? Do you think it is as serious as other crimes?

As always, encourage your children to share their thoughts with their class teachers.
