Today students from IES Sundbyberg participated in the swimming competition called Bästa fyran. The competition is arranged by Svensk simidrotts simförening and Svensk simidrott and sponsored by Medley.
During the autumn term we asked which of the students in grade 4 who would like to participate in the competition. These students were divided in teams of four.

The students behaved really well both on the way to the swimming hall and back to school, but most of all during the competition. They listened and followed the instructions that were given. They cheered on all teams that participated and we had a lot of fun. 

The teachers that came along to support are very proud and impressed by the teamspirit that the students showed. 

On second place: Team 2

On third place: Team 6

We would like to congratulate all of the students that participated - We are so proud of you! 

During week 10, our students celebrated World Book Day (Thursday 5th March) in multiple ways! Lots of activities were available in the library: resolving crosswords, designing bookmarks or book covers, writing your own story, coloring book drawings or joining the book scavenger hunt! By participating in one of them, students can win beautiful world book day badges! Here enjoy some pictures celebrating the love of books and reading!

During week 7 IES Sundbyberg students and staff have celebrated Valentine's Day in multiple ways. Our grade 4 students have had Friendship week. The purpose of this week was to focus on being better friends and practicing their teamwork skills. Each student received a paper from their mentor filled with tasks that they were supposed to do before Valentine's Day. Today, just before lunch, it was time for the big final and they surprised the rest of the school with a 'flash mob dance' out on the school yard. The students and mentors had been practicing all week. We thank you all for the time and effort that was put into this event!

Our Librarian, Ms Delforge, has arranged for romance novels to be displayed during the week. She has also made bookmarks for our students that fit nicely in to the theme. Students were also encouraged to spread positive thoughts to one another by writing it down on a post-it and decorate a wall. 

During lunch, students also decorated one of our walls with even more positive messages.

In mid January we will begin our intake process for the fall term 2020. We will take in five new classes (160 students) in grade 4 and one additional class in grade 7 (32 students). For the remaining grades we will only have a filling intake.The intake process will be ongoing throughout the whole spring term until we have filled up all the seats. We will contact guardians with an official offer when we reach your child's name in our queue. For more information, please browse around on our website.
