School field trip to England

These are some images we took during our filed trip to England. The best trip ever!

Welcome to the 2015-16 school year!

It is hard to believe September has already started and a new school year is coming! We hope you had a great summer. We are going to have an amazing school year together!

St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day is an annual festival that celebrates Saint Patrick, one of the patron saints in Ireland, and is generally celebrated on March 17th.

Saint Patrick was born in Wales around AD 385. The most famous story about Saint Patrick is of him driving the snakes from Ireland. He died on March 17th in 461 AD and this day has since been commemorated as St. Patrick’s Day.

St. Patrick's Day is celebrated worldwide by those of Irish descent and increasingly by non-Irish people (usually in New Zealand, Australia, and North America). People celebrate by wearing the colour green, eating Irish food, drinking Guinness (traditional drink of Ireland), and attending parades.

We wear green because it is the colour associated with Ireland, the Irish people, and St. Patrick's Day. The symbol of Ireland is the shamrock, a green three leaf clover that was used by St. Patrick to explain the Holy Trinity to the Irish people.

In Irish mythology, a leprechaun is a small fairy (a little old man) wearing a coat and hat. They are solitary creatures who spend their time mending shoes and have a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. If we captured one, the leprechaun has the magical power to grant three wishes in exchange for their freedom.

Field trip to El Palmar de Troya’s Reservoir on the Day of Andalusia

After a festive morning breakfast of tasty tostadas, orange juice, and a cake contest, students prepared for a long day’s journey to El Palmar’s reservoir.

Whether on bike or on foot, the day was filled with laughs, songs, and sightseeing! Teachers and students walked approximately 15 - 20 kilometers, and ended the day with a visit to a small castle followed by lunch.

Violence against Women - 25th November

The day November 25th was chosen as the International Day of Violence against Women. This month, students in our school have designed posters and made photographs to raise awareness against this form of violence.

Last 25th November, prizes were given to the students who designed the best photographs. It was a good day to remember that  everyone has a responsibility to prevent and end violence against women and girls.
