On May 18th, IES Eskilstunas annual Science fair took place, focusing on working according to the scientific method. All students in grades 4-5 had worked hard for several weeks with their projects.

In year 4, the theme was to invent something that could give man a lighter weekday and in year 5 the theme was to use physical principles such as the inclined plane and leverage principle to build a Rube-Goldberg machine.

During the day of May 18th, all classes had different activities connected to the physics and engineering subjects and they were also given the opportunity to visit other classes to see their work. Each class had appointed two projects to exhibit their work in the gym hall, which then competed against each other in the struggle to win the big gold trophy.

The day ended with all guardians being invited to look at all the nice projects and the award ceremony in the gym hall.

Här kommer en rapport från eleverna Jakob Johansson och Axel Axelsson som går på Internationella Engelska skolan i Eskilstuna och som vann Musikjaktens postertävling i priskategorin bästa vetenskapliga poster.

Priset var 2000 kr till klasskassan samt en halvdag med forskarna på RISE Interactive. Vår lärare Daniel Breton var också med.

January 29th, all our grade 4's competed in the chess tournament Schack4an, in the Eskilstuna Final. We had around 80 students from IES who came to school on this Sunday, very nervous and excited about the competition. And they all wanted to go through to the next final. After 3 thrilling chess rounds we had a result! 

The mentors being there are happy to say that 4 of our 6 classes qualified to the next final - The regional final in Nyköping! The students will meet year 4's from different schools, for example Strängnäs, Flen, Katrineholm, Nyköping and more! If they qualify, we will compete in the big Sweden final and meet students from all over the country!  We are very proud of our classes who behaved perfect on this day and did their best to win!
