🧪🌱 Lynxes Visit a Biodiesel Factory

The Lynxes recently went on an exciting field trip to a biodiesel factory! One of the IMSOL parents — a scientist working in the biodiesel industry — kindly invited our students to visit the factory and learn more about how biodiesel is produced. 🚛⚗️

During the visit, the children explored the fascinating science behind alternative fuel and discovered some of the chemistry processes involved in creating biodiesel. Through hands-on experiences and demonstrations, complex ideas became much easier to understand — and much more exciting! 🔬✨

The students shared that the trip was both educational and a lot of fun. And to make the day even more special, everyone enjoyed pizza together at the end of the visit. 🍕😊

Today we celebrated Children’s Day — and it was full of joy, laughter, and happy little moments ✨

We had a picnic, ice cream, creative activities, games, and of course crowns for everyone 👑

There was so much excitement, imagination, and pure childhood happiness all around us. Days like this remind us how important it is to create space for fun, connection, and feeling special.

Thank you to everyone who made this beautiful day possible 💛

🐝 World Bee Day Adventure 🐝

Last week our students visited a local apiary to celebrate World Bee Day! 🍯

During the visit, children learned how bees live and work together, how honey is made, and why bees are so important for nature and our environment. They explored the fascinating world of beekeeping and even had a chance to hold real honeycombs in their hands! ✨

Learning about trash segregation ♻️🌍

Our Daisies class recently went on a field trip around the local community to learn more about trash segregation and caring for the environment 🌱

During the excursion, children explored the streets near the school and the Rimi supermarket area, where they observed different kinds of trash containers and discussed how people use them in everyday life 🗑🚮

The students practiced observation skills, talked about recycling and sustainability ♻️, and reflected on how each of us can help keep our community clean and environmentally friendly 🌿

The children also enjoyed a small picnic at Vēsturdārzs Park 🧺🌳 before returning to school, making it a wonderful combination of learning, exploration, and time together outdoors ☀️

🌿 Green Day at IMSOL 🌱

This May, our students, teachers, and parents came together for a wonderful Green Day full of planting, teamwork, and joy 💚

From the youngest children to the oldest students, everyone took part — planting flowers, herbs, and other greenery together 🌼🌳🌿

We would also like to sincerely thank all of our parents for your amazing support, participation, and warm energy throughout the day.
Thank you for helping create such a caring, joyful, and inspiring atmosphere for our children ✨

It was a beautiful reminder that growing something together — whether it’s plants, friendships, or a school community — truly matters 🌍

By now, it has already become a wonderful IMSOL tradition 💙

This Saturday, students, teachers, and parents from our school and kindergarten took part in the Kids’ Run as part of the Riga Marathon.

It was such a fun and joyful day full of energy, support, smiles, and team spirit. We are so proud of all our young runners — everyone did an amazing job and received their medals! 🏅

Thank you to all the families and teachers who joined us and made this day so special. We are already looking forward to next year!

Last week, students from all our classes got creative making special gifts for their moms 💐✨

From handmade crafts to heartfelt surprises, the classrooms were full of excitement, imagination, and love. And on Friday, the children proudly celebrated their moms for Mother’s Day with smiles, hugs, and beautiful presents made with their own hands ❤️

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful moms in our IMSOL community 🌷

🎨✨ Learning beyond the classroom

This week, we visited the National Latvian Museum of Art — and turned it into an adventure.

Instead of simply walking through the galleries, the children took part in a fun quest 🔍
They explored the museum with curiosity, searching for specific artworks, observing details, and connecting what they saw with what they already know.

It wasn’t just about looking at paintings — it was about discovery, attention, and thinking.

Learning like this stays longer 💡

Learning Together 📚✨

Last week, our senior students from the Lynxes class (ages 9–12) visited the Otter Class (ages 6–9) to share their knowledge and confidence through student-led presentations.

They spoke about influential people in history, including Sacagawea, Marie Curie, and Galileo Galilei. 🌍🔬

It was a wonderful moment of collaboration, where older students practiced research, public speaking, and leadership, while younger students listened, asked questions, and got inspired.

These shared learning experiences help build confidence, curiosity, and a strong sense of community across our school 💙
