Springs is here!
Flowers are blooming; the Sun is shining; we all feel full of energy; and smile.
For the first time in St. George's College we were participants of an amazing and well-organised Spring Festival. All the school was involved and different competitions took place. Poems were written, plays were performed, speeches were talked and stories were told.
There were class competitions in which teachers, with the help of judges, decided who were the ones selected to go to the finals. When finals took place, students, teachers and judges were more than excited.
We all gathered in the school's patio and the winners were mentioned. They all received a prize and a diploma.
"Solidarity week" also took place. As we all know, the school organises events to help people in need. This week students were allowed to wear casual clothes and money was collected outside and inside the school.
Thanks to these activities we teach our students to be responsible, organised, work as a team and help each other. We expect to develop different skills and to continue working in activities that help students improving their communication and social abilities.
What a fascinating way to learn how our body works!
There was an amazing exhibition about human body in PLAZA CAMACHO in Surco. This educational experience showed us from cells to complete and real human bodies in exhibition. All the bodies, bones, organs and others were donated and belonged to Asian people. This exhibition has been all around the world and we took this great opportunity to visit it.
Year 6, year 7 and year 8 students were more than attracted by the speech of their guides and the way they were involved in this environment. We were able to learn the way our body works, its functions and how it is structured. The place was divided in different rooms all full of colours and lights. Students were astonished by all they saw.
With no doubt I can say this magnificent display was of great help for students and teachers.
Let's hope we can see more of this well-orgnised and well-presented educational exhibitions soon.
Learning about Physics, Maths and Science may not be an easy thing to do. That is why teachers at St. George's College had to look for interesting, creative and dynamic resources to help their students.
"Parque de la imaginación" in San Miguel, offers a range of activities in which students learn about all these topics mentioned above. We had Year 7 and Year 8 participating in this study visit and they were more than happy to be part of this outdoor activity.
Thanks to "Parque de la imgación"students easily understood how the Earth works and why things happened the way they do in a dynamic and entertaining way. They learnt about gravity, force, energy, nature, and others.
Year 7 students started to work in pairs in order to create a useful product for their classmates. They had to invent an innovative gadget to be use in class or at school. They came up with very interesting ideas.
At home, they had to prepare adverts and a speech. They use big images, colours and different fonts in their writing. The organization of their adverts was very attractive.
At school, this is what we saw: students became salespersons which was a very interesting experience for them. Fluency, body language, content, creativeness and accuracy were evaluated.
Casual Day was an excellent opportunity to help people in need.
Patrulla San Jorge collected money inside and outside the school and students brought warming clothes for poor people living in the highlands of Peru. As we all know winter time in aggressive with people in the highlands were the temperature is very low. Adults and children die every year because they have no resources to protect themselves from the cold.
On this day, students left their uniforms at home and attended to school wearing casual clothes to represent that they were here to help giving their clothes to people in need.
This activity taught our students that giving feels better than receiving, that they can make a change helping other, and that spending a little of their time to help is rewarding.
I am working as an English teacher in senior school at St. George's College.
I'm also member of the TIC team in the school; we believe technology is a very useful tool to use with our students and that is why we keep on working hard to innovate and bring new ideas to you.
I'm glad to be part of this great family, St. George's family.
Thank you.
