On Friday 14 September, nine students from Years 7 to 9 accompanied by Ms. Sapone participated in a Maths day at Sotogrande International School. The competition was not school vs. school as teams were mixed: Eva, Michael and Ben from Year 7; Emma, Alejandro and Remy from Year 8 and Aranzazu, Xi and Alexander from Year 9 were spread into mixed teams to compete. In the three teams formed there were 3 students from each of the six schools participating in the event.With great enthusiasm the students undertook practical and physical activities involving maths such as solving giant Sudokus, raft building in the swimming pool, geometric constructions and strategy games. Most of the students got certificates for different outstanding skills and in the winning team were Eva, Emma and Xi. Congratulations to all our students and we are looking forward to more challenging and fun mathematical events like this one!
Language and Literature (Language A). Students take their studies in a language in which they are academically competent.
Language acquisition (Language B). A modern language course with an emphasis on understanding another culture through its language.
Individuals and Societies: Provides for the development of a critical appreciation of the nature and activities of human activities in history and the physical, economic and social environment that people inhabit.
