Over the last 4 or 5 weeks, grade 7 tutor groups have been presenting a topic of their choice in our weekly assembly slot. We started during British Fortnight with 7A showing us some of the traditions of the countries of the British Isles, including "cheese rolling" and "black pudding throwing".
7B followed on with an assembly on the weird and wonderful technologies in existence, or nearly in existence, in our world today.
Next up was 7D and a Canadian Music festival.
And finally 7C showed us a wide range of winter sports practised in Canada. (apologies that the photos are quite dark)

Class of 2016 - Upcoming events
Firstly thank you to all of you who managed to come to our Parent Teacher evening last week. I hope you were able to take the opportunity to speak to your son/daughter's teachers to discuss their progress and any ways in which you can help them improve from home. If you were unable to attend, you may collect the report from Marielos Soto.
The evening before this, parents of grades 8-12 met to discuss our drug prevention program. On the "pages" sidebar you will find a summary of the information provided by Adriano Bolaños. The next Parent Partnership meeting is scheduled for February 2011 where the topics to be discussed will be Exam preparation and dealing with stress.
As the holidays approach, we have a busy schedule and I'd like to take this opportunity to share some of the information with you.
