To celebrate Europe Day once again we teamed up with Geography and French to create a special exhibition about the European Union:  its countries, cultures, heritage,   languages ..... and food. This year we decided to learn more about the traditional dishes of english speaking EU countries. We had starters, appetizers, soups, meat and fish dishes, vegetables and salads, desserts  and drinks. A full meal!

Speaking a second language is a terrifying experience. Comedian and sociologist, Áine Gallagher, shares stories about the fear and absolute humiliation she experienced in her journey to become an Irish speaker.  But then she finally understood.... you don't gave to be perfect!

Visiting London with our school was a wonderful experience that we will always keep in our memories. We just had to share it with everybody. What better way than creating a giant scrap board with photos, messages, pins, maps, flags and all sorts of memorabilia..... 

Between the 1st and 6th March, 79 students and 9 teachers (divided into two groups) visited London, Cambridge and Windsor. They got the chance to visit the London Eye, Madame Tussaud's, the British Museum, Windsor Castle,  Westminster,  Tower Bridge,  the Tower of London, Camden, Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square, Downing Street,   Buckingham Palace, Regent´s Park,  the Harry Potter Platform, Chinatown,  Hard Rock Café and many other well known locations. They also watched musical plays at the  West End and went punting on river Cam. The field trip was amazing and the students  got the chance to practice their English.

Some of our students from the 7th, 8th and 9th grade  are participating in  the "Creative Writing Competition" organized by the International House.  The prizes are really nice and we are rulling for them.
