Biology class for our future students
We invited the students that will start first grade next year to our Biology Lab. They toured the lab and got acquainted with some of its procedures. They worked with Biology Prof. Alejandra Guerra in an activity based on the recognition of different animals, their characteristics and adaptations. They also had a first contact with the lab’s materials and instruments of microscopic observation.
Theater at Liceo Espigas
We enjoyed a theatre performance within our Cultural Action Programme. It was base on the representation of Virginia Woolf, Clarice Lispector, Edgar Allan Poe and Maria Rilke. Excellent!
3rd grade went to LATU’s Science Space
3rd grade students went to LATU’s Science Space. It was a very positive experience from the pedagogic point of view, given that the children could acquire new knowledge in a ludic way.
Integration day with future students
We organized an integration day with the Liceo’s future students from Simiente. We had a great time and everybody enjoyed the activities very much.
Daniel Baldi at Espigas
On October 4th, Daniel Baldi visited Liceo Espigas and gave a speech to 2nd grade students. He spoke about his life experience while trying to make a living through his two dreams and passions: to be a football player and children’s literature writer. He told us how he enjoyed the process, how much effort it required and that, in some cases, he had to suffer to achieve his goals.
The students really enjoyed this enriching exchange. Afterwards, they had the chance to ask questions which showed the great motivation and curiosity the subject generated in them.
Kite flying day!
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!
INJU’s 5k!
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.
First grade camp
Our 1st grade students had their first camp, accompanied by 10 adults, at the BHU premises in Santa Lucía del Este. An excelent and enjoyable experience.
Spring Week – All of us cook at Espigas!
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.
