After an intense school year...



We'd like to share some of the hard work we did during our 2016 school year.

SHAKESPEARE LIVES
As part of this project, Years 7A and 7B read Hamlet and Macbeth. Then they worked on a book trailer: they wrote, acted and even sang for this production. Here's the result (Well done!):

Have a brilliant 2016!

We're back in the classrooms with many exciting projects for this year!

 Our Lending Library is growing step by step. We're all invited to borrow, lend, read and recommend books in English (book trailers coming soon!). Also, we are going to read Macbeth and Hamlet by William Shakespeare in Year 7 and make some research about The Bard in the 400th anniversary of his death.

Music will be very present in our classes and we will study songs, bands and their historical background in our "History of Modern Music" project.





Year 5 is going to read Jules Verne's "Around the World in Eighty Days" and work on a Geography Project together  with children in other countries.

And everybody at our school will be solving Maths puzzles as part of this year's institutional school project. 


Best wishes  for a wonderful year!!
