Group Work.

Group work is a process, which takes time and effort and a supportive environment within the school. Through a programme of games, exercises and activities, students self-awareness and self-esteem can be raised allowing them to develop more meaningful and effective relationships with teachers and peers.

Group work gives students the opportunity to examine their attitudes, feelings and behaviour outside of the normal classroom setting. Group work is aimed at improving students attitudes towards school and their relationship with teachers. and peers. During group work students can explore the values and beliefs which affect their behaviour. This can give them an insight into why they behave in a certain way and can lead to them considering alternative approaches to deal with situations.

As a teacher I think that when students work in small groups, they tend to understand the subject matter more thoroughly. Small group work transforms the class into supportive learning teams; the group keeps students energized, motivated and provides support to complete complex tasks. Group work helps students explain, summarize, apply, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate an aspect of the subject matter.

75th Anniversary.

The 23rd of April 2007 we celebrated our 75th Anniversary with different and special activities made by the students, teachers and parents.
On this day the Parents commitee helped decorated a car like a real Panda. It looks great. They were enthusiastic during all the activity, saying cheers for Saint George´s Day and marching near the Panda´s car. Here are some pictures took before and after the celebration. Thank you dear parents for make things going on.
