School Garden Work Kick Off🌱
🌱 Let’s get our hands dirty! The new school year has taken root… and so has our garden! This week we kicked off our school garden work with excitement, tools in hand, and a big eagerness to learn.

School Trip to Enjoy Van Gogh: Greatest Hits
A different kind of Friday.No classroom, but still learning.No textbooks, but much yearning.No desks, but eyes wide open. Lights down. Screens aglow.The paintings breathe.The night swirls slow.The sunflowers beam,Van Gogh speaks in dream. Little ones in awe.Older kids take pause.Even grown-ups feel the cause. Art we can’t touch, but still stays.In the mind.In the chest.In the talks on the bus, as we rest. An experience not easy to forget.For what we saw,and what we’ve kept. 💛 Thank you, Van Gogh, for drawing us near.We’ll meet you again —in our classes, our sketches, and all we hold dear.
STREET JUMP
by Muhammad and Adam. First, we waited until 9.45 am to go to the bus, where we met the people from Sant Felip Neri. 🏫 🚌 When we arrived, everyone was excited. ☺️ We changed our socks, and started jumping. The first thing I did was jumping of a wall onto a trampoline, and finally into the foam pit. There, I tried to do a front flip, and landed on it. Then, one and a half ours later, we were finished.🕐 We went on the bus and back to school.🚌 Then, we played at the playgroud at school.🏫 STREET JUMP REVIEW Street jump had many activities we could do. For instance: But, overall, everyone enjoyed it.
A SOLIDARITY RACE
by Inaya and Muhammad. On Monday 29, the school students and teachers of CEIP San Luis Gonzaga were on the bus, and, finally, we arrived at the school San Felipe Neri. It was a sunny day. There, we raced for charity with a lot of students, teachers and parents. After that, we were tired, so we ate some delicious food called “coquetes” and it was really good. A girl from San Felipe was the first finisher, Vito from our school who is in Grade 2 was second! Congrats! It was a good day celebrating World Peace Day (January 30). See you soon … ➕
