On Wednesday 31st October, 2018, many of the children at Surabaya European School arrived at school decked out in costumes to celebrate Halloween. From ghouls to Go Jek drivers, princesses to pilots, a huge variety of elaborate costumes were seen roaming the halls.
On 30th November, the Year 9 and 10 students were invited to a workshop, led by Ms. Janti, who had previous experiences with some SES students. Firstly, we introduced ourselves and explained our perspectives towards home, which resulted in various responses. Subsequently, all 16 of us were divided into different groups in order to perform some tasks. Our first task was to create a mind map which included our opinions towards love, which- interestingly- also resulted in various responses. To conclude our session, we created posters of ourselves along with our strengths and weaknesses, which allowed us to reflect upon ourselves. Overall, many students enjoyed this session and are looking forward to another workshop.
On Friday evening, 19th October 2018, the clouds parted and an evening of gazing at the heavens awaited an eager group of Surabaya European School students and parents. They were joined by members of the Surabaya Astronomy Club who had set up an array of telescopes and viewing materials. The team began the evening by projecting images of the Moon and shared information about crater sites, their origins and even the positions of lunar landings. The excited students and parents where allowed to view our Moon, Mars and even Saturn through the telescopes, while valuable information was passed on from the experts. Much excited chatter ensued and many images were captured through lenses onto smartphones for later viewing. The evening wound up with an exciting rocket launch by Mr Phil and Miss Diya. We would like to thank the Surabaya Astronomy Club for their time and dedication to making our heavenly object appear just that little bit closer. Don’t forget to put the event in your calendar for next year.
