Since the beginning of this academic year, the primary students have participated in a variety of interesting and fun activities such as - English Week, International Day, Sports Day and Winter Show. English week was very fun and educational. The theme of this academic year was ‘Diversity in English Promotes Unity’. Each class chose a book author and did many activities concerning the author chosen. The students also had a dress-up day, a creative writing competition and attended virtual meetings to show their work.

Our annual Sports Day was on 7/10/2021. All upper primary and secondary students, of both ISF Waterloo and ISF Tervuren, went to a sports ground outside the school premises.
The students were very excited to take part in this event. The games started shortly after all the students arrived at the sports day venue. The students were divided into four house teams yellow, blue, green and red.
At the end of the day, the team with the highest points won. The students had a great time.

International Day was a day filled with laughter and excitement. First, there was a parade of the students' showing their traditional clothes and flags.
Then we were divided into groups from
different classes. The students were asked to create interesting arts and crafts from different continents.
In the end, we all
showcased our crafts and brought a favourite dish representing our cultures. All the students enjoyed this special day and are looking forward to the next one. By Mahum
ISF Waterloo does a Winter Show every year. The event is adapted from a film or book. This academic year’s show was based on the fifth book of Star Wars and was renamed as, ‘Star Warts, The Umpire Strikes Back’. There was a lot of dancing and singing. The primary students really enjoyed performing in this phenomenal show and were excited to share the recording with their parents. By Vaishnav
