International School of Dublin

What a fantastic Sports Day we had at ISD!

Our students gave it their all in a day full of athletics, cheering each other on and showing great sportsmanship across every event. From sprints to relays, it was all about energy, effort, and fun!

We were also treated to a delicious bake sale, and to top it off, we were lucky with the sunshine too!

Thank you to everyone who helped make the day such a success!

Our school was buzzing with excitement last Friday thanks to the incredible Flea Market & Funfair organised by our Grade 5/6 students!

From fun games to unique items for sale, there was something for everyone to enjoy. A huge well done to our young organisers for creating such a joyful and successful event!🌟👏

As part of their inquiry into business, our Grade 5,6 students have organised a flea market and fun fair, and YOU'RE INVITED! ✨ Friday, 30th May at ISD, from 4pm! 🎡🥳

It’s been a week full of exploration and discovery beyond the classroom!

Kindergarten and Grade 1,2 visited Merrion Square for the International Literature Festival, where they were inspired by storytelling, imagination, and meeting real-life authors!
Grade 3,4 took a fascinating trip to , Dublin’s waste-to-energy plant, where they learned how rubbish can be transformed into energy—an eye-opening look into sustainability in action!

To round off the week, Grades 1–4 visited the Slovenian Embassy to celebrate World Bee Day. We learned all about the importance of bees in our ecosystem and even got to enjoy some delicious honey!

We love seeing our students connect with the world around them through meaningful, real-world learning. 💡📖🌿🐝

Our students have been loving their tennis sessions in PE! 🎾 Under Mr. Phillip’s guidance, they've been sharpening their skills, learning the rules of the game, and most importantly—having a blast! The friendly tennis league has brought out some great rallies, teamwork, and sportsmanship across the classes. Game, set, match! 🏆

Last Friday, our learners showcased weeks of hard work, creativity, and inquiry at our End of Unit Sharing!

Kindergarten proudly shared their growing knowledge about animals.
Grades 1,2 wowed us with their detailed ecosystem dioramas and insightful explanations of producers, consumers, decomposers, and more.
Grades 3,4 presented their brilliant energy inventions—packed with innovation and problem-solving.
Grades 5,6 guided families through the food system and even treated them to sustainable snacks they researched, chose, and prepared themselves!

Each class also presented a special piece in Spanish, thoughtfully connected to their current unit of inquiry—showing their language development and interdisciplinary learning in action.

A huge thank you to all the families who joined us to celebrate student learning. 💡🌍💚

Our students hit the ground running after spring break! Grade 5/6 are deepening their understanding of food sustainability, Grade 3/4 are exploring energy and how we use it, Grade 1/2 are diving into ecosystems, and Kindergarten is learning all about animals. It’s been a week full of curiosity, hands-on learning, and meaningful connections across the school 🌍📘🌿🧠
