Learning is in Full Bloom! 🌼✂️
🧠✨ At Surabaya European School, education extends far beyond the textbook—it is about igniting creativity, sharpening focus, and building resilience through hands-on mental challenges.
Science in Full Bloom! 🌸✨
Bringing nature to life, one snip at a time. 🌼✨
Our students have been exploring the beauty of nature by creating their own colourful flower models.
As seen in the photos, this activity required real concentration! From carefully tracing the petal shapes on the paper to assembling the final piece, students exercised their fine motor skills and attention to detail.

From the precision required to stack blocks to the delicate art of building towers, our students are strengthening their problem-solving abilities whilst having a fantastic time. Collaborative tasks foster essential soft skills like communication, coordination, and teamwork. 🤝
With every challenge, our students are developing vital life skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom walls. Because at SES, we believe that every obstacle is simply an opportunity to grow. 🌟

Students worked together to explore how plants function, observing how white roses slowly absorbed different dyes through their stems. 💧 It was not just about the biology; it was about making predictions and working as a team to track the changes.
As the colours began to appear on the petals, so did their understanding. This hands-on activity perfectly blended scientific enquiry with the joy of discovery.
Learning is always beautiful at SES. 🎨

Our students poured their creativity into crafting these handmade masterpieces. ✂️ The process required real concentration and care, helping them to practise their cutting skills and attention to detail.
We love how every finished flower was completely unique—proof that learning happens best when imagination is allowed to bloom. 🌿
