Sports Week

In October of this year all students of St George School enjoyed taking part in the annual sports week. Students, teachers and parents all belong to different houses which have different names and different colours. There are 4 houses in total: Griffin (yellow), Pegasus (blue), Phoenix (red) and Minotaur (green). Each house had the opportunity to present different songs and chants, as well as little dance routines to get everyone into the spirit of the event.

The inauguration of this event took place in Villa and it was great to see so many people there. Everyone had the chance to take part in many different games and competitions, such as football matches, basketball games, running races, volleyball etc. The following week the event continued in Miraflores and each house did their very best to win.

The final day of this event was a closing ceremony where each house once again got to present their dance routines, the choreography was excellent and everybody had a great time. The winning house this year was Pegasus, congratulations!

 

Nueva Acropolis

This year in October the grade 4 students participated in the Nueva Acropolis competition. Together, with the direction of teachers Bárbara Leyva and Vincente, they formed a choir and sang two songs: Whatever and El Caballito. They all worked very hard and I am especially proud of my Tigers for their effort.

Every Thursday afternoon the students would rehearse their songs. The presentation was excellent as the students were very well behaved, they presented themselves well and I was very impressed that they didn’t even appear to be nervous!

I am especially pleased to congratulate the students because all of their effort paid off and they subsequently won the competition. This meant that they had the opportunity to return to the theatre to collect their certificates and also present their songs one more time. They were also rewarded with a small party at the school where they could relax and enjoy themselves after many busy weeks.
