South East Coast International School Zanzibar

Our Year 4 learners have been exploring the importance of sustainability as part of their learning. 🌍🌱
To bring this to life, they visited CHAKO Zanzibar, where they discovered practical ways to care for the environment and reduce waste.

Through hands-on experiences and meaningful discussions, the trip helped deepen their understanding of how small actions can make a big difference for our planet. ♻️✨

📚✨World Book Day at SEC!✨📚

WE had a wonderful time celebrating World Book Day at SEC! Our students came dressed as their favourite book characters, bringing so many stories to life around the school. From brave heroes to magical characters, it was amazing to see so much creativity and imagination.

The celebration began with a fun morning parade, where everyone proudly showed off their costumes. Afterwards, students enjoyed sharing stories, reading together, and taking part in activities that celebrate the joy of books.

World Book Day reminds us how powerful stories can be, helping children build imagination, develop language, and discover new worlds through reading. We are so proud of our young readers! 🌍📖

Year 1 hosted a Royal Banquet! 🏰 They shared their learning on castles and knights, followed by a grand feast with their families! 🍗🫖🥖

Year 2 had a wonderful trip to visit Blue Oyster Farm. We had an insightful tour of all the crops that they grow and animals that they take care of. It was amazing to see how all parts of the farm give back to each other and we were able to understand the hard work and dedication of a farmer. We were also super lucky and got to try some yummy homegrown fruits, hold the baby goats and bring a goody bag of veggies to plant/cook with our families! Thank you 🌶️🥕🫑🍅👨‍🌾
