Children’s Day
Bestarians celebrated Children’s Day on 20th November 2019 to honour all the little CEOs, junior
doctors, young entrepreneurs etc. The theme for this year was Superhero. The event started off with
the School assembly where the students showcased their performances, dressed up as superheroes.
Then they presented their academic booth to teachers and peers from other levels. As part of the art
activity, each student was given a gift where they were able to flaunt their artistic talent. All were
excited for the cake cutting ceremony where they enjoyed the delicious ‘Superhero’ themed cake. A
tele-match was organised to mark the end of the remarkable event. Overall, it was an entertaining day
not only for students but also teachers.

Little Author
From “Author- Who, me?” to “Yes, I can be one too!” This was the outcome of “The Little Author
programme” at SBIS. It was a platform where students got to showcase their writing skills. Students
learnt directly from Ms. Lim Lay Koon, a renowned author who was invited to teach the students the
ways and procedures of writing books of their own. As they were transported into the wonderous
world of books, they also discovered the joy in writing their own story and not only and rejoiced being
little illustrators.

As part of ‘Going Places!’ In IEYC, the little Bestarians had so much fun finding out what
happens in an airport and on board. The entrance to the classrooms were converted into a
‘Departure Hall’ with a ‘luggage scanner’ and an ‘immigration officer’ on duty. With the help of
pictures and pretend play, the learners were able to recall and recognize significant parts of the
airport.

Students learnt about the harsh realities of the Apartheid in South Africa. To bring the events to life, students
created a model depicting the various challenges the affected demographics went through.

Red Crescent Society
Red Crescent Society at SBIS prepares the Bestarians to be first raiders through rigorous yet fun-filled
training sessions. From getting to know the first aid box, fixing up of the stretcher, treating small wounds,
nosebleeds and also cramps, the members are well equipped in handling them all.

During the MCO, the primary kids got hands-on and built various toys while learning the basic science concepts
behind them. As curious and as participative they can get during virtual lessons, the Bestarians used the
everyday items that were found in the kitchen and managed to build a Balancing Bob, a pinhole camera, a
hologram projector, and a parachute that successfully protects Mr. Humpty-Dumpty from a 6ft fall!

During the 2019 Deepavali celebration at SBIS, the Junior Science
Society was involved in making and selling Mango lassi ice cream.
Dry ice was first placed in a plastic container, and a metal
container with the mango lassi drink in it was placed on top of the
dry ice. Metal container, being a conductor, transferred the freezing
cold effect to the mango lassi drink turning it into solid yummilicious
ice cream. We create hands on experience at its best, where the
students are able to apply what they learned in class in real life
situations.

and A acti ities
A lot of enjoyable activities had been organized for
SBIS Young Scientist (Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3).
It was time for them to have more time on hands on
activities and the same time applying the knowledge
they had. Experiments such as lava lamp, solubility
testing, making a rock crayon, invisible ink,
investigating shadows and many more keep our
Young Scientist’ mind blown away by the magical of
science.
Despite that we are having MCO, the teachers also
provide science activities that the students can do at
home. Through Science Explorer slot, the students
had a blast experimenting a lot of activities that
reflect to their learning during MCO period.Society
Eco - School
The Eco-school society at SBIS aims to raise
awareness of protecting our environment
and the importance of planting among young
children. This academic year they focused on
building a greenhouse in the school. It was
heartwarming to see the teamwork displayed
by these green-thumbed Bestarians as they
grouped up and planted together. Year 5 students Posing after planting

Young Master Chef (Year 1) Looking for a family-friendly pizza recipe? Children will love these toppings and genius shortcut recipes. Even the Little ones can help with making their own delicious pizza. A sure-fire way to get a fussy child to eat dinner/breakfast. Our Young Master Chefs used gardenia bread, sausages, cheddar cheese, capsicum and mixed vegetables for their pizza.

Chinese New Year celebrations are incomplete without this delicious dessert. Tang Yuan or
glutinous rice ball is the typical food eaten on the 15th day of the new year. It is eaten during the
Lantern Festival because they represent family reunion and unity, and their shape is the same
as the full moon.

In January 2020 SBIS hosted a huge event on Malaysian St John Competition. This competition is to test the skills of
the first raiders on short and long cases. It was a great exposure to all the Red Crescent members at SBIS as they
experienced what a real life emergency situation will look like.

SBIS came together to organise a day of celebration to raise funds for M.A.D., by running fun art &
craft activities like Diya painting and Kolam making. Students made use of their enterprising skills to
sell products like lassi ice-cream, henna, accessories and food. SBIS also successfully organised a
hair donation drive, raising funds of RM2500 for Locks Of Hope, an NGO that produces hair wigs for
cancer patients. What a way to celebrate the Festival of Light!

Definitely an experience the members can find useful in the future!

Christmas is the time for sharing, forgiving, and blessing. This time around, the in house Christmas
celebration at SBIS was even more special as we invited ULC students to come to our school to
partake in our celebration. We shared quite a few beautiful moments with those less fortunate
refugee children and hope that we impacted them with love.
