Springing into Action: Highlights from IES Växjö
As the brighter days of spring arrive, our school is buzzing with energy and academic focus. From national exams to community events, our students are demonstrating incredible dedication and spirit as we approach the final stretch of the school year.
Academic Milestones and Future Preparations
Our students are currently immersed in their national exams. While Year 3 has already finished and Year 6 has only one mathematics exam remaining, our Year 9 students are right in the middle of theirs. We appreciate the continued support from families during this time and remind you that subject teachers are available for any questions.
Looking ahead, preparations for the graduation ceremony on 12 June are already in high gear. Year 9 students will have their Yearbook pictures taken on 28 April, a sure sign that the end of the term is nearing.
The Spring Car Boot Sale
On Saturday, 18 April, our school car park was transformed into a bustling marketplace for our spring car boot sale. It was a fantastic day of reuse and community spirit, with the car park filled with everything from clothes and toys to books and jewelry. Thanks to the great turnout, Year 9 raised several hundred kronor for their class fund. Visitors highlighted a fantastic sense of community, and we look forward to sharing more quotes from the day on our website shortly.
Classroom Spotlight: Creativity and Discovery
Our students across all year groups have been engaged in diverse and exciting projects this month:
Primary (Class 3A): Inspired by the historic launch of the Artemis II rocket, students integrated science with literacy by practicing space-related vocabulary and analyzing story structures.
Juniors (Year 4 & 5): Year 4 students mastered the art of weaving and crocheting to create modern mini-bags. Meanwhile, Year 5 scientists are investigating the physics of light, using data-driven experiments to see how shadows change based on distance from a light source.
Seniors (Modern Foreign Languages): We are emphasizing the value of learning a third language. Whether it is German (our most important trading partner), Spanish (a gateway to global business), or French (a cornerstone of diplomacy), these languages provide our students with a competitive edge and cognitive flexibility.
Important Reminders & Safety
With the nicer weather, we’ve seen a welcomed increase in students cycling to school. Please remember that Helmets are compulsory for all students cycling to school. We strongly recommend a bicycle service (checking brakes and tires) to ensure student safety on the road.
