As a reminder, the Voice of Parents family survey is still open. We would love to have your feedback so that we can continue to improve where we need to and celebrate together those aspects that are working successfully.

With your feedback, we will be making an action plan for the end of the school year and next year. Thank you very much for your time and support.

Thursday and Friday last week we spent time with our MYP5 students at the SENIORS Torrequebrada retirement home, as part of the experiential curriculum focusing on action and social engagement. The children were helping the elderly to decorate their outdoor spaces, painting pots for their plants and moulding and painting decorative figurines together.

We also danced with them and laughed a lot. This way, when they water their plants or just walk around these areas, they will remember this little time they shared. It was a beautiful experience in which very nice values of mutual respect were transmitted and we all became aware of the responsibility we have as part of society. The older children were very grateful for their visit, which, as they said, filled them with life and joy.

This week marked the end of our much-anticipated Open Days, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible participation of our families. It has been an enriching experience, filled with special moments where parents and children shared the joy of learning together.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us and shared this journey. Seeing the excitement and joy in the eyes of our students and their families fills us with pride and motivates us to continue providing high-quality education. We look forward to welcoming you again in future editions!

A term full of adventures awaits us! Get your backpacks ready and lots of energy!

Our MYP1 students have enjoyed their amazing adventure in Candanchú as part of the Óptimo Project within the Experiential Curriculum. Over the past few days, they have had a unique experience in the snow, facing new challenges and learning on and off the slopes.

The abundant snowfall has made their skiing days even more exciting, allowing them to improve their technique while developing essential skills such as self-improvement and responsibility, autonomy and collaboration. Moreover, sharing this experience in a new environment has strengthened their friendships and collaboration skills.

Today, they will return home with their backpacks full of unforgettable memories, valuable lessons, and, most importantly, the satisfaction of overcoming new challenges. We are certain that this experience will stay with them forever!

Summer is just around the corner and with it comes an amazing opportunity for our students!

To solve all your doubts and share key details about this experience, we invite you to an informative meeting in which we will explain the programme, the activities, the logistics of the trip and answer all your questions, next February 13th at 16h30 in the secondary school assembly. We will send a link for families who will not be able to attend in person.

On 17th February, the whole school community will enjoy a time of celebration full of colour, creativity and fun with the Carnival celebration. We encourage all students to come with a costume from home, remembering that it will not be necessary to wear uniform on that day.

To promote sustainability and unnecessary waste, we encourage you to bring costumes that you already have at home, reducing waste (these can be ready-made costumes). We encourage you to be creative and surprise us. The celebration will take place during the morning but there will still be normal classes to make the most of the day.

It will be a special morning full of activities, laughter and, above all, lots of carnival spirit!

During this session, the students will share ideas, discuss proposals and continue working on initiatives that will benefit the whole school community.

It is a very important moment that fosters leadership skills, communication, courage, metacognition and collaboration.

On 21st February, we will be commemorating Andalusia Day at school with a very special breakfast where our students will be able to enjoy our traditions. On this day, our students will be expected to wear their school uniform, but they will be able to add an Andalusian accessory on their uniform, such as a ribbon, scarf, flower or any other detail that represents our territory.

In addition, we will share a delicious Andalusian breakfast in the playground to celebrate together our culture and roots. In the classrooms, we will talk about Andalusia and during the patio time, we will serve an Andalusian breakfast accompanied by music and dance.

The CAS trip to India is getting closer and closer, and the school is already buzzing with excitement about this incredible experience for our DP1 students. From 22nd of February to the 4th of March 2025, our DP1 students will travel to Anantapur, where they will stay at the Vicente Ferrer Foundation. During their stay, they will have the opportunity to learn about the cooperation projects and actively collaborate in the organisation’s work camps.

This trip, an essential part of the International Baccalaureate CAS Programme, and our experiential curriculum, will allow them to develop values such as empathy, social commitment and teamwork, as well as being a transformative experience that will undoubtedly leave its mark on each of them.

As part of our support plan for families and teachers, and with the aim of generating routines and dynamics that have a positive influence on the well-being and academic performance of our children, we have organised a free workshop for families, which will also be attended by the teachers of the corresponding cycle, entitled ‘The adult as a mirror of the child. How to set limits’. These are the dates and times:

– Tuesday, March 4th from 4:30 pm to 6 pm in the coworking for MYP and DP families and teachers. Link for MYP-DP registration.

– Wednesday, March 5th from 4:30 pm to 6 pm for families and teachers of Infant and PYP. Link for Infant school-PYP registration.

We believe that this initiative is an excellent opportunity to work together in the same line based on mutual respect between adults and children or adolescents, as well as in the creation of environments that generate security through clear limits according to the fundamental values that we share. We look forward to your presence at the workshop. In order to facilitate the organisation of the workshop, we would be grateful if you could register by clicking on the links above.

On 28th March, we would like to organise a visit to Aula Madrid, one of the most important university fairs in Spain, which has more than 200 direct national exhibitors, together with that of the main international educational centres and a wide programme of Technical Conferences and complementary activities, making up an information scenario of unique characteristics that will undoubtedly provide our students with the vision and real contact with the university world. The trip will take place by train (AVE-Renfe) with departure and arrival at María Zambrano station.

This is an excellent opportunity for our students in MYP5, DP1 and DP2 to explore academic options and start planning their university future. For interested students, please complete the form below. If we are able to gather a group of at least 10 students, we will move forward with the organisation of the trip. In this case, the cost of the train to Madrid will have to be covered by the families.

Yesterday, 6th February, MYP2 and MYP3 students took part in an interesting talk about the importance of healthy eating, a key aspect in their developmental stage. During the session, given by Scolarest, the students learned about essential nutrients, the need to maintain a balanced diet and the risks of following some popular diets on social media.

They also explored the concept of the Harvard Plate, a healthy eating model that helps to visualise the best way to distribute food in a meal. This talk allowed our students to reflect on their eating habits and better understand how to make healthier choices in their daily lives.
