No violence!

1st and 3rd 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!

Makerspaces

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.

Biguá Cup of Artistic Gymnastics

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.

Visit to Morquio School

Special thanks to Morquio School, its principal, students and teachers for their warm welcome yesterday. Our students were very grateful and happy with the visit and all the activities they shared. We will be delighted to receive Morquio School’s members at the Liceo whenever they want to come visit us!!! Thanks!

AKEELAH AND THE BEE

The whole morning in English!.

The day started with an exchange of ideas about the culture in  United States high schools. Afterwards  we watched “Akeelah and the Bee”, an English spoken movie. The movie promoted a discussion about the necessary effort to achieve a goal and/or dream. It was a very nice and motivating experience for everyone.
