Preparation for our Sports Day

By Tanwa Taiwo | Marketing Manager

Thank you for your continued support of IBSF. Your money goes to great use- giving the students of the Light School a safe, stable environment in which to learn.

During our recent visit to the school,we found that the children were happy and engaged in their work. As well, our students were preparing for the upcoming Sports Competition at the school.The Sports day is a great way for students to celebrate and let loose with their friends. The day traditionally consists of variety of events, games and competitions that everyone can enjoy.

Many games and activities are being planned for the day including; Volleyball, Sprint, 3-legged race, Relay races, Egg race, Sack Race, Water Ballon Toss, Making Bubbles, Tug of War, March past and many other fun games. The goal is to have our students participate in various sports and games with the cooperation of their teachers and parents. As a result, students will come to realize the value of cooperation and team spirit.

Students & Schools from neighboring villages have also been invited with the hope of engaging them in friendly competitions.

It is also an opportunity to have parents of the students visit the school and we get the opportunity to spend some time with their parents. In addition, it provides an opportunity for community engagement for us to further stress the importance of having children go to school to secure an education.

We plan to have this event towards the end of the school year but always stress the importance of proper preparation which is why they have embarked on early practise towards the event. We look forward to providing you with a report after the Sports day event occurs.

We thank you for your continued supoort which provides us with the resources to be able to expose our students to many activities and events to further broaden their minds and prepare them to compete in the world when they gradate.

All of us at IBSF want to express our gratitude to you for supporting us and the children we serve in the forgotten corners of Lagos.

Back To School 2019/2020 School Year

New Staff Residence Building

We welcomed our kids back to school after a long summer holiday. As always, our first day was spent doing some fun ice-breaking activities to put everyone at ease. Students took turns in telling the whole class about their holiday and the favourite activities they did during the break. The students were all delighted to be back to school and to be reunited with their friends.

During the summer break, IBSF was hard at work preparing towards the upcoming 2019-2020 school year. A new staff quarters was required to create more space for our teachers and staff that reside on school grounds. We embarked on the project to build an additional staff residential building and were able to complete it during the summer holidays.

Every year we select a special project to focus on, last year before we went on holiday, we started a Book-Club to help encourage our kids to read more. We are happy to say that all the students have advised they read the books that were given to them and we look forward to having engaging conversations with them about the selected books.

The IBSF is aware of the significant impact that STEM can have in the lives of children. This year we have created the STEM Impact Project and will be making it an integral part of our curriculum. In recent times, STEM has become popular all over the world and implementing it in the Shinning Light school will expose our students to the power of innovation and technology.

We believe STEM will foster creativity and help generate innovations. As well, students will have the opportunity to experiment and take risks when practising with the new technology. In addition, the practical learning will foster team work as students work together to find solutions to problems. Our hope is that our students will be empowered and prepared to embrace new technology when they come across it instead of being afraid. This experience will also help the Shinning Light School students remain competitive with other students in the country and across the globe.

We have purchased materials to kick start STEM with the kids from an early age to our older kids in high school. Students will receive modern classroom supplies/materials, including interactive learning tools, technology resource training, and the curriculum needed for critical thinking. The IBSF is confident the teachers and students of The Light School will gain renewed energy in the classroom thanks to this ambitious project!

We hope you had a wonderful summer as well and we are sending a huge THANK YOU from Nigeria! All your support and encouragement makes these projects possible and we couldn't do this without you.
