Steven Hindlaugh, a professional teacher trainer started CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) Essentials Program at the European School on January 8, 2018, and conducted an 8-day training course engaging fifteen teachers from our school. Training course is designed for different subject teachers to help them communicate effectively and use English confidently in their respective classrooms.

The European School organized an Annual Alumni Homecoming on December 29, which turned out to be a fun and fascinating trip down memory lane. The reunion gave our alumni an opportunity to see their teachers and old friends again. They looked back on unforgettable moments, stories and places. Irakli Kikoria, the Head of Alumni Association, shared the news about establishing the Alumni Charity Foundation and made a first donation himself. Graduates shared their university experiences with our current students. Following interesting conversations, they played fun games and danced with teachers on stage which added up to excitement even more and everyone had a wonderful time.

New Year celebrations are very popular among children. The European School students are not different. Children from kindergarten to high school grades engaged with great enthusiasm in a verity of activities that was fun for the whole school.

On December 27, the New Year celebration- one more amazing “Snow Party” with beautiful scenes, music, dances, was held for the European Kinderegarten kids from English groups. We wish you a happy New Year!

On the 21st of December PYP students took part in our annual winter Christmas carnival. Each grade from year 1 to 5 prepared a small performance, and were able to watch their peers sing, dance and perform on stage. However, PYP students were not the only ones on stage – we had an older student performing a magic show, and even the teachers themselves had their own performance. The event was closed with an exchange of Secret Santa presents and a festive flash mob involving all students. It was a great way for students to complete the semester, celebrating the holiday season, participating in creative activities as well as say goodbye to friends and teachers until next semester!

On December 18-21, Transdisciplinary unites were summarized at elementary level of Georgian Program. Students from all four age groups and their teachers were engaged in this activity. In the beginning, first graders presented posters “My appearance and features”, they motivated upper grades who were involved in different projects and set later several performances.

On December 23, the New Year celebration built around the theme” Snow Party” was held for European Kinderegarten kids from Georgian groups. In the hall decorated entirely in white, kids dressed also in white sang songs, danced. European Kindergarten children prepared a video “Letter to Santa”. Eventually, Santa visited the event and brought sweets and presents to kids. He also promised to attend the coming “Snow Party” on 27th for English speaking groups.
