Friday was kite flying day. We celebrated the beginning of Spring. Students wrote their wishes on slips of paper that were stapled to the kites. It was fun!

A group of Liceo’s students participated in INJU’s (National Institute for Youth) 2018 5k edition, accompanied by 2 parents and 2 teachers. Everyone completed the race! It was a wonderful experience they want to repeat.

Our 1^st grade students had their first camp, accompanied by 10 adults,  at the BHU premises in Santa Lucía del Este. An excelent and enjoyable experience.

Students and teachers enjoyed a  fun day cooking together. Thanks to Ale, our kitchen head and Lucía our nutritionist! We had a delicious cold pasta salad for lunch.

1^st and 3^rd grades worked on the subjects of “Human Rights” and “No Violence” in their English class with Prof. Carlos Pazos. He proposed a creative activity with drawings, graffitis and posters related to the concepts of no violence, respect and understanding. They exhibited their work in the library. Great job!

   

Our friends from Liceo Jubilar paid us a visit to enjoy a sports event in our fields. Football was the focus and afterwards we had a third time with delicious treats.

Thanks for the visit! We are looking forward to the next one.

We wore our brand new male and female football uniforms for the first time!!!

 

20 students from 2nd and 3rd grades went to the House of Parliament invited by the President of the  House of Representatives and the Ambassador of the Popular Republic of China, to attend a cultural event in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Uruguay and China. An excellent experience for our students!

 

Our principal, together with 3 flag bearer students from 3^rd grade, attended the presentation of the 3^rd Montevideo Biennial catalogue.  The event was held at the Special Events Hall of the House of Parliament.  The Minister of Education and Culture, María Julia Muñoz; the Montevideo Biennial President, Laetitia D’Arenberg; the  exhibition’s curator, Alfons Hug and the co-curator Jacqueline Lacasa took the floor. Thanks to all of them and Ms. Graciela Rompani.

     

 

English Teacher Franca Di Marco suggested a different activity during this week for 2nd grade students: “Makerspaces”. The Embassy of the United States gave the Uruguayan-American Alliance robotics kits to work with the teenagers and Franca asked that some were taken to the Liceo in order to work with her students.

It was an excellent opportunity for them. We deeply thank the Alliance, the Embassy and our Teacher Di Marco for this initiative.

On August 19, a group of students from our artistic gymnastics workshop headed by Prof. Helena Arambillet, participated in the Biguá Cup, competing at A level.

This was without a doubt an experience that enriches our workshop and gives the students the possibility to broaden their practice, and if they want to, continue with their training in other institutions.
