Keep up the great work everyone! We will continue to track progress next year.

EIS Computer Club has finished, and what a brilliant journey it’s been! Students actively developed their digital confidence and technical skills.
Throughout the weeks, they explored a range of exciting activities that combined creativity, problem-solving, and fun. We experimented with digital art, creating both pixel pieces and simple 3D models. Students enjoyed designing their own cartoons and bringing their ideas to life on screen.

This year, EIS Scrabble Club thrived, bringing together players of all ages and skill levels—from seasoned experts to enthusiastic newcomers. Weekly meetings were filled with lively competition, clever strategy, and plenty of laughter as players crafted impressive words and chased high scores. Highlights included surprising plays, record-breaking turns, and the joy of discovering obscure vocabulary. Beyond the board, members bonded over word puzzles, shared tips, and welcomed beginners with patience and encouragement. By year’s end, the club had grown into more than just a lunch past time —it was a close-knit community united by a love of language, friendly rivalry, and shared growth. Here’s to another year of triple-word scores and terrific company!

This term's Play-Doh club has been a success with students producing some fabulous Play-Doh models. Using Play-Doh helps children, especially younger ones to develop the fine-motor skills and coordination they need to use tools for cutting, mark making, drawing and writing, as it promotes tendon and muscle strength and growth.

This year in Lego Club, we had a blast building, creating, and imagining together! From towering buildings to speedy vehicles and everything in between, we explored the endless possibilities of Lego. Along the way, we learned how to cooperate, share ideas, and bring our visions to life through teamwork and creativity. Friendly building competitions added extra excitement, pushing us to think outside the box while cheering each other on. It’s been an incredible journey of imagination, innovation, and fun—and I look forward to seeing what new ideas and designs we can come up with next year!

EIS Year 11, 12 and 13 students participated in the work experience project. They chose various options and worked in Primary and Secondary departments. They planned lessons and practised teaching these lessons to small groups of students. Other students analysed the lessons in terms of strengths and areas of development. The students enjoyed their activities and it was a pleasure to see their enthusiasm and engagement. Well done!

EIS Year 7 and Year 8 went on a field trip to Bunker 42, 65 meters below Taganskaya Square. This bunker housed the main command center for the strategic nuclear forces of the USSR, bombers and missiles, for 30 years - up until 1986. The students saw models of the first Soviet nuclear bomb and the nuclear "suitcase," and learned about the history and role of the bunker - including about the Cuban Missile Crisis, when fortunately the bunker did not have issue the commands to launch the weapons. However, several students got to participate in a simulation of a missile launch and press "the button" and then underwent a simulated missile strike on them!

The Pétanque club, this year was a success because we were able to open this club for Primary in order to give the pupils the chance to get to know this typically French game and to have fun.

The club emphasized the vital role of pollinators in ecosystems and highlighted how flowering plants supported biodiversity.
