Flipper International School

⚽ Flipper International School 4 – 1 British International School ⚽

Congratulations to our students and coaches for their outstanding performance, strong teamwork, and excellent sportsmanship throughout the match. We are proud of their achievement and the positive spirit they displayed on the field.

71 provisional international university placements across 42 FIS students. 🌍🎓

From the USA and Canada to Europe, the UK, Turkey, Australia, Dubai, Asia, and South Africa, our students are preparing to take their next steps onto the global stage.

This proud milestone reflects the hard work, ambition, and determination of our students, together with the support of their families and teachers throughout their academic journey.

We also extend our sincere appreciation to Mr. Seid Habtamu, our School and College Counselor, for his guidance, encouragement, and commitment in supporting students through the university application and placement process.

Congratulations to our students on this exciting achievement. Your future is bright.

Our Early Years Campus came alive this Workers’ Day as students arrived dressed in professional attire, from doctors, lawyers, firefighters, astronauts, and teachers to chefs and engineers!

It was more than just a celebration; it was a day of fun and learning. Our students explored different professions through play and conversation, sparking curiosity about the world of work and the important roles people play in our community.

The laughter, excitement, and pride on their faces reminded us that learning happens everywhere, especially when it’s joyful and meaningful.

A heartfelt thank you to our families and teachers who made this day so special. Together, we are nurturing confident, curious students who dream big about their future.

Last week, we opened our Early Years classrooms for a special “Come and Play” session with our parents.

It was a joyful time filled with laughter, curiosity and shared moments, as parents joined their children in play and experienced first-hand how learning comes to life in our EY environment.

Thank you to all our parents who joined us and made it such a warm and memorable occasion. We look forward to many more moments like this together.

Our students joyfully marked Autism Awareness Day last week with poems, songs, stories, and creative activities. It was a beautiful reminder that we are all different, and every one of us is special.

Wishing all of our families a blessed easter.

🌱 Growing Together | Stage 1 Learning

Our Stage 1 students explored a powerful idea this week; how plants and children grow in very similar ways.

Just as plants need sunlight, water and good soil to thrive, children need love, care and support to reach their full potential. Through this lesson, our learners reflected on the importance of kindness, encouragement and a positive environment.

They discovered that when we speak kindly, listen carefully and show respect, we help others grow, just like sunlight helps a plant.

At Flipper International School, we believe every child deserves the right environment to flourish. Together, we continue to nurture confident, happy learners who are ready to blossom. 🌼

🌟 FIS Shines at the African Union French Contest! 🌟

We are thrilled to share that Flipper International School students made an incredible impression at the French contest organized by the International Organisation of the Francophonie in partnership with the Embassy of France in Ethiopia.

A total of 31 students represented our school with outstanding enthusiasm and performance, showcasing their amazing progress in French. Our High School Vice Principal, Mr. Zelalem, was there to ensure Flipper was proudly represented.

A heartfelt thank you goes to the 11 parents who supported us throughout the event. Your care, encouragement, and dedication made a world of difference, and we truly value your contribution.

We eagerly await the results later this week, including the school trophy and rewards – but for now, we celebrate the hard work, talent, and team spirit of our FIS family! 🏆

Over the past week, students have been actively engaged in a variety of hands-on learning experiences across different areas of the curriculum. These activities are designed to support their holistic development—cognitively, physically, socially, and emotionally.
1. Exploration Activities
• Students practiced different animal movements while learning about where animals live and what they eat.
• They explored scientific concepts by observing objects that float and sink in water.
• Students participated in a practical activity by making and tasting lemonade.
2. Montessori Activities
• Students worked on picking and transferring materials using tools such as spoons and pegs.
3. Mathematics Activities
• Students created patterns using macaroni to understand how patterns can be formed using everyday materials.
These experiences ensure that learning is meaningful, engaging, and supports the overall development of each child.
