A teacher from the school took the children on a guided tour of the school. The children visited the green houses, learnt about the different parts of a plant, had question and answer sessions about why plants are important, visited the school orchard and vine yard and had a chance to plant their own plants to take home with them. The children were incredibly enthusiastic, and asked many questions, meet some of the students who helped then pot the plants and ended in the school library where they gave a gift of a book about gardens in Britain to the school to say thank you for the visit.

The children were invited to return in the autumn to help pick some apples from the apple orchard and to see how some of the plants had grown that were housed in the green houses. This was a very successful trip and thoroughly enjoyed by children and staff alike.

The children were free to explore the exhibition; looking at each piece in their own time, drawing sketches, asking questions and reading all the information available. All the children enjoyed the visit very much and many said they would like to visit again with their parents.

In total during this week around 360,000,000 questions were answered correctly by students. BIS played its part and there were some amazing results here in Belgrade with our students answering just under 200,000 questions correctly.

Our two top classes excelled finishing up on the world leader board twice each. Year 2 students (in the 4-7 year old category) were the 15^th best class in World Science Day and 37^th in World Spelling Day. Year 9 students (competing in the 14-18 year old category) were the 38^th best class in World Spelling Day and 37^th in World Science Day.

Individually 3 school members were within the top 100 for their category. In World Science Day Louise M came 56^th, and Miss Asja came 55^th in the Teachers category. Another BIS teacher who took part, Mrs Lambert, a well-renowned scrabble expert, came 6^th in the world in the World Spelling Day teacher鈥檚 category.

We celebrated the success of the Primary students when during their normal weekly assembly time the whole assembly was given over to celebrating their achievements. It took two Year 1 volunteers to carry all the certificates that were to be presented into the hall.

There were so many certificates that having asked the students how many hours they wanted the assembly to take they decided that it was probably better just to give out the Amethyst, Sapphire and Ruby ones in assembly and for their class teachers to give out the participation certificates.

A special assembly was also held for the Secondary students where those receiving the top participation awards collected them from the Principal, including 2 for our top students, Victoria L and Marija M, who between them answered just over 7,000 questions.

Well done to all! We look forward to the event in 2013.

Entrance was free, everyone was invited and the only requirement was to wear something red. Red and white balloons were all over the place. There was a light-show, loud music, food and drinks and colourful cards that students sent to their favourite teachers and friends. Each card was unique so everyone felt special. Milica (Year 9/2) got 17 cards and won the cake.

Students also prepared a very effective program: they sang and danced and got them all involved.

Our team battled well 鈥� even after some setbacks such as injuries of some key players; they gave all they have in every game, and in the end, only one goal separated us from winning the tournament.

More importantly, this tournament was a nice manifestation, which allowed students from different international schools to compete against each other in fair and spirited environment. It allowed students from different spheres to co-work, act like a team and feel the sense of accomplishment in the end.

Everyone took part in preparations. It was a busy week for all of them.

Some students drew and cut up bats, witches, ghosts, others carved pumpkins, wrote scary warnings and messages on mirrors and entrance door, put spider webs on the ceilings. Some of them were in charge of choosing music, some of taking furniture out. One group decorated the school and installed the music equipment and projector for really scary power point presentation.

There were many ghosts, goblins, witches, super heroes, celebrities, devils, angels and more as the BIS students paraded around the school on Friday evening. Teachers and students alike enjoyed trying to guess who was who as many costumes gave no clues as to the owner. Well done, everyone!

Three best costumes were awarded by a big applause and the Principal delivered the prizes to the winners: a book of scary stories with special drawings done by Una, a big jar full of candies and a T-shirt.

After that, everyone got a piece of a fantastic chocolate cake which came in a shape of a big orange pumpkin, kindly donated by Mrs Jojic.

Then the dancing began. It was an amazing sight; all those unearthly beings swaying in a rhythm of the music, lit only by candle lights. Scary indeed.

Congratulations to the BIS Student Council for this worthwhile event that everybody enjoyed so much.

In the past there have been trips to Greece, France, Italy, Tunisia, Cyprus, Egypt, Portugal, Sicily and Northern Spain.

This autumn BIS students took a trip to Spain and visited Madrid and Andalusia. It was an eye-opening experience that enabled them to get a colourful and comprehensive view of Spain.

The group of 29 students and three teachers began their journey in Madrid, proceeded to Escorial, visited Toledo, La Mancha, Cordoba, Sevilla, Jeres, Cadis, Marbella, Malaga and finally Granada.

Included in the trips were excursions to the Prado Museum, Reina Sofia Museum where they admired Picasso’s famous painting 鈥淕uernica鈥�, Columbus’s Tomb, bull fighting arena and Santiago Bernab茅u Stadium.

They discovered one of the modern wonders of the world at El Escorial and in Cordoba 聽they saw the Great Mosque of Cordoba and the Cathedral, took a tour of the Old City, which included the Synagogue, Alcazar and the Jewish Quarter.

Students took a lot of photos in front of the windmills Don Quichote fought, in La Mancha and spent one afternoon at the beach in Marbella.

In Granada they took part in a walking tour of the vast palace complex of the Alhambra, whose name derives from the Arabic al-Hamra, the 鈥榬ed fortress鈥�.

They enjoyed watching flamenco puro which in Cal贸 language (the language of the Spanish Gypsy) means old, antique, and hence traditional.

They explored the unforgettable sights, and flavours of a traditional tapas meal, paella and churros with chocolate. It was an unforgettable trip for us all.

As one of the students said: 鈥淕reat culture, loved walking all day and I learned so much. Truly an eye-opening experience.鈥�
