IBSB Cooking Lessons
On Tuesday, 8S had a wonderful opportunity to spend some time with a chef at the London Street Atelier to improve our cooking skills. Our goal was to prepare a 3-course Italian meal, in a limited amount of
time, which for some of us was going to be tough. We started off slowly, working in two teams: Team A
(nicknamed “Manic”), and Team B.
Team A worked on the main course: home-made ravioli with spinach and ricotta, as well as a Genovese
pesto for the starter dish. Team B worked on the entrée and dessert: 3 types of bruschetta’s, one of
which included the pesto made by Team A, along with a lovely Tiramisu (Fun fact: Mr Storey claims that
it means “pick me up” in Italian).
We began slowly and in a messy way, as every beginner does, but as we got the hang of it, we started
speeding up, but still with quite a lot of mess unfortunately: 2 people flattening out the once sticky
dough, and another two working on the fillings for the ravioli. The pace that we managed to achieve inn
the end was great!
In the end I have to say that it is experiences like these, where we can learn from our mistakes, that help
us to and grow, and so I highly recommend all students to give cooking a go. I can also safely say that it
was an enjoyable experience for everyone.

UK University Fair
A group of students joined Mr Tiplea on a trip
to AISB to attend a UK University Fair. This
was one of many opportunities the students
from Years 10-13 have had this year to visit
fairs in Bucharest and in London helping
students to make a more informed choice
when it comes time to selecting a university.

Studying Romanian Literature
Year 11 - A Level Induction Day
This week, in Romanian, the students from Year
4H studied some of Caragiale΄s short stories:
“Vizita”, “Dl Goe…” and “Bubico”. We read the
stories, watched the movie based on “Vizita”
and then it was time for the children to act!
They were divided in 4 teams- each group had to
distribute the roles, discuss the acting strategies,
and practice the plays. They showed great teamworking skills, creativity in interpreting the
script, and impressive drama skills. Next week,
we are looking forward to presenting our shows
in front of the class!
Tuesday was the Year 11 ‘A Level Induction Day’: a
day when the Year 11 students have the opportunity
to join Year 12 AS Level classes to experience what
life is like in the Sixth Form (Years 12 & 13). The students also have the chance to wear non-uniform and
to eat lunch at Casa J, as the Sixth Formers are allowed to eat of campus at lunch.
In the afternoon the parents attended the Year 9
IGCSE and Year 11 A Level Options evening, where
they were explained the various options available to
them for next year. Al that is left now if for the students to make their choice with plenty of subjects to
choose from, including Business Studies, Economics,
Psychology, Sociology, ICT, Law, and Modern Foreign
Languages, to name just a few.
