A LEARNING FESTIVAL
Research Fair
R e s e a rc h a s a p ro c e s s o f t e a c h i n g and lear ning is a type of education that allows the development of complex thinking and skills. Inquiry and research are two things that have a special place in Colegio Alpamayo. Through their eleven years of school, our students carry out different res e a rc h a c t i v i t i e s a t t h e e n d o f t h e t h re e s t a g e s o f t h e i r s c h o o l l i f e : i n grade 5, the Alpamayo Exhibition; in grade 8, the Personal Project; and in grades 10-11, the Extended Essay. Additionally, we have research projects through the IT Project and Expo Science in all of the other grades. These investigations become what we call the Research Fair, where our young researchers present their reports, products, and conclusions.
ENGLISH WEEK
Amazing experience this year! Nursery children presented the “Musical Magazine Show” not only singing but also saying short dialogs in between each song. Teachers also prepared an amusing puppet show based on the well-known story “The Three Little Pigs”. Pre Kinder and Kinder children worked ‘corner’ activities moving from one class to another where they found different activities to rejoice. For instance, children became chefs and cooked pizza; they turned into scientists and created a lava lamp. Last but not least, they became artists and creat-
ed beautiful pictures using a great technique involving flour and dye. Pre Kinder children presented the “PK Circus” and they delighted parents with their riddles. And Kinder children also demonstrated their skills by participating in the Spelling Bee, as well as performing an Aesop fable “The Hare and the Turtle”. To end up the English Week, English teachers prepared and surprised the Kinder Kids with their Shakespeare’s reenactment based on Midsummer Night’s Dream.
As you can appreciate all children had fun and participated in our “English Week”!
