3rd Term

The children from K1E did a lovely assembly of the story “We’ve all got bellybuttons” then our favourite dance of the “Dingle Dangle Scarecrow” and singing “Incy Wincy Spider”. We had great fun making all the animal masks and we were very happy to see our Mummies and Daddies had come to watch us.

On June 8th a group of S3 students and three enthusiastic teachers (Mrs Bamber, Almudena Perez and Mr Rabanowitz) travelled to Paris for a week where their dreams all came true!!!

On the 7th June 2007, 75 S2 pupils took part in their end of term music assessme3nt in the Chaucer Theatre. The project was to form a Rock / Pop band and perform the song of their choice live to the rest of the school. They had to learn to play guitars, keyboards, bass guitars, drum kit and vocals in order to create a convincing performance.

On Friday 5th June there was a Farewell Dinner at the British Club where Graduation Certificates Year Remembrance Photos were handed out to pupils who have finalised their school studies this June. We all spent a very pleasant and somewhat nostalgic evening in a warm, intimate family atmosphere of personal satisfaction for the successful completion of one stage and exciting anticipation for the following.

Our Upper Sixth students have decided to pursue careers both in Britsh and Spanish universities. Many of them will study in Madrid, Barcelona, Seville or Murcia; others will move to London, Bath or Nottingham. A few will stay here in the University of Las Palmas for the time being.

K1D went to the beach with all the other children in K1 and they had a brilliant time as you can see from the photos. Mums and Dads and grandmas also enjoyed themselves and we's like to thank them all for their help, we couldn't do this trip without them.

“Last 29th May Maspalomas Department celebrated the “Canarien Day”. The students spent the day doing different activities and ate canarien typical food. It was a very nice day that we all enjoyed”

On Wednesday 23rd May K3 and P1 Maspalomas students went to Anfi beach. We drew boats and landscape pictures. We also had a sandcastle competition.
Everyone had a lovely day.

K1 C “Assembly” retold the story “The was a princess long ago” The children sang out the story. Their mummies and daddies came to see them. They did very well and they had a good time. Good boys and girls!

Here are some words and pictures from the award ceremony in Arucas last month.

Andrea Lopez Sahun S3C came second in the secondary school category out of all of the Canary Islands.

On Thursday 24th and Friday 25th May our S6 pupils will be sitting a mock ‘Selectividad’ when the school offers them the opportunity of doing a practice run under the same conditions and with an identical format of the ‘Selectividad’ examinations they will be taking on May 31st and June 1st at the UNED. We are sure that our present S6 pupils will maintain and even improve on the traditionally good results our pupils have always obtained in this examination. Keep up the good work everyone during the last few days before your final test!

P6 and S1 students visited Palmitos Park on a combined Geography, Art and Science trip. The art students concentrated on the texture and tone of the various colours of the exotic birds and other animals in the park, our geographers identified and examined the different areas of the world where these animals live in the wild and our scientists investigated the growth and development of our native Canarian plants.

On Wednesday, May 9th pupils from K2 in the Maspalomas Department visited Banana Park. During their visit they saw ostriches, hens, donkeys and even peacocks with their little chicks. They were able to see with their own eyes what they had learned about these farm animals in the classroom. Even though it was a very hot day, our infants enjoyed their trip tremendously and finished the day eating their lunch in the shady areas of Maspalomas Park

On Thursday 15th March 2007 we arrived at Munich Airport where we were met by our exchange partners who had previously visited Grand Canaria last October. We spent the afternoon with them and their families.
