🌲 Grade 7 Outdoor Adventure Day! 🚣‍♀️

Our 7th graders recently took learning beyond the classroom with a cross-curricular extravaganza at Granite Adventures at Loch Park in Deeside!

Focusing on Science and PE, students spent a full day out in nature putting theory into practice, building crucial leadership skills, and strengthening team bonds. It was an incredible opportunity for everyone to connect, collaborate, and try new things in a social, outdoor setting.

Highlights from our day:
🌊 Paddlesports: Tackling the water with canoeing, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding.
🧩 Land Activities: Navigating course maps in orienteering and solving hands-on team-building challenges.

A massive congratulations to Clara on her fantastic achievement at the prestigious Cowal Highland Gathering! 🩰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✨

Clara’s journey in Highland Dancing began at just three years old, and she has been competing at championship level since age nine. Her path hasn’t been without challenges—after two years on the sidelines with injury, her determination and passion brought her right back to doing what she loves.

Returning to top-level competition at Cowal against 45 talented dancers, Clara delivered a brilliant performance to place in the medals once again! 🏆👏

Our Grade 5 musicians reached a huge milestone—First Note Day! 🎷🎺🥁

For the very first time, the ISA Elementary Band came together to make music as an ensemble. There’s nothing quite like hearing those initial notes transform into a shared rhythm.

We couldn’t be prouder of their enthusiasm and hard work, and we can’t wait to watch their skills grow and tune up throughout the school year! 👏✨

Our Primary 1 children (known as ‘Kindergarten’ at ISA) are already working hard on building early phonics skills and number security, establishing strong foundations for reading and maths. Alongside their core learning, P1 have been diving into their current unit of inquiry, ‘helpers in our community’

A major highlight of the topic so far was a special visit from the local fire service! The students loved meeting real-life heroes, exploring the engine, sitting in the cab, and even getting to hold the hoses! 🚒💦

It’s wonderful to see them so engaged, curious, and having so much fun as they settle into school life. 👏🌟

📚 A Day of Books, Big Smiles, and History in Edinburgh! 🏰

Our Grade 4 students had an unforgettable learning adventure in Edinburgh!

The highlight of the day was visiting the Edinburgh International Book Festival, where the children enjoyed a presentation by the beloved children’s author Jacqueline Wilson. To top off the event, students had the incredible opportunity to meet Jacqueline in person for a special book signing! 🖊️📖

Before making their way back home, the trip ended with an inspiring stop at the National Museum of Scotland to explore some history and culture. 🏛️✨
