Reflections: School During Lockdown

/in , /by

Now that we are emerging, blinking in the sunlight, we look back on what we have experienced these past few months.

It’s been a school year like no other. Far apart, but learning together. Doing all we can to feel close and connected.

In 2nd Grade, the children wrote down their thoughts and drew pictures to reflect how they got through this trying time.

This project was dreamed up by their teacher, Giulia Bottura, who is so proud of how much they’ve grown. Despite the challenges they’ve faced, they show maturity and wisdom far beyond their years.

Read the inspiring and humbling examples below.

 

 

Business Studies: Brand Placement

/in , /by

To tell a story is to market a product or a service.

In these videos, Smiling’s business students show their marketing skills through chef demonstrations.

Teacher Ian Browne cooked up the idea, as he wanted to go beyond the books. So, with this project, he prepares them for the workplace they’ll enter in their future.

Take a look at some tasty examples below. Their presentation skills and confidence in front of the camera are impressive; that’s not easy to master!

PRIMARY SCHOOL: SHORT STORIES

/in , /by

Children of the primary school have been flexing their writing muscles. Here, we share some of their marvellous storytelling.

Our bright students let their imaginations run free and produced some gripping tales. What’s more, thanks to the guidance of their teacher, Elena Berveglieri, we have created a virtual library!

Browse through the short stories here to transport you to another world. Maybe they’ll inspire you to get writing too!
