Discovering marvellous new worlds inside the library! 📚✨
To celebrate World Book Day, the Surabaya European School library was wonderfully transformed into a bustling hub of pure imagination and creativity. Our students engaged in a fantastic array of literary activities throughout the entire day.

The children also had a brilliant time channelling their inner authors and illustrators. They thoughtfully crafted, wrote, and decorated their very own DIY mini-books, showcasing their favourite non-fiction topics and creative tales.

Our Year 3 students enthusiastically began their brand new Maths unit on Measurement. Rather than just reading about lengths and distances, they turned the entire classroom into an active learning space!
The students learned the vital mathematical skill of estimating first, making thoughtful guesses about the sizes of various objects around them. Working brilliantly in teams, they then used their metre sticks to record the precise lengths in centimetres (cm) and metres (m).
Practical investigations like this are a fantastic way to help young learners fully grasp mathematical concepts, proving that Maths is not just about numbers on a page—it is a tool we use to understand the world around us. Outstanding effort, Year 3! 👏💡

Our brilliant Year 3 students had an incredibly fun and engaging day as they dived into their brand new International Primary Curriculum (IPC) unit: Footprints from the Past.
To spark their curiosity, we hosted a fantastic entry point activity. The excitement continued straight into our Science lessons, where the students became young palaeontologists for the day! They got their hands dirty by carefully digging for fossils, actively uncovering clues about the fascinating creatures that roamed the Earth millions of years ago.
This is exactly how our thematic IPC framework makes learning unforgettable—by turning historical and scientific concepts into thrilling, hands-on discoveries.

✨ Bringing the wonders of the solar system right into the classroom! 🌕🌖🌗
Our Year 6 scientists have been exploring the fascinating world of astronomy, focusing specifically on the phases of the moon. To truly grasp how these lunar changes occur, the students engaged in a brilliant hands-on practical investigation.
By actively modelling the positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun, they were able to clearly visualise and understand the mechanics behind each distinct lunar phase. It was fantastic to see them working so collaboratively, asking insightful questions, and turning abstract scientific concepts into a highly interactive learning experience.
