Lost On a Deserted Island!!!

Last Monday we played Lost on a Deserted Island! Each kid had to choose one, and only one, object to take to a deserted island. After explaining their choice, the kids were divided in groups and had to create a special device that would take them home.... They had to include all the objects chosen by the members of the group!

Let´s take a look at their creations!

The girls invented a device using a map, a camera, matches and a cell phone!

This group included a guitar and a bike!

They designed a super boat full of commodities!

TORNEO METROPOLITANO DE LAS OLIMPÍADAS MATEMÁTICAS ÑANDÚ

Queremos compartir con ustedes una linda la noticia. Tres de nuestros alumnos, Martina González, Juani Oliva y Julieta Garberoglio de sexto grado,  han estado en la ciudad de Mar del Plata  junto a Mónica y a sus padres, representando a la escuela en el Torneo Metropolitano de Matemática de las Olimpíadas Matemáticas Ñandú.

 

Este es uno de los torneos organizados por OMA, al que son invitados los algunos de los alumnos que participan en las olimpiadas, aquellos que hayan sumado 5 puntos o más entre los certámenes Interescolar y Zonal. Se realiza, desde hace algunos años, en esta ciudad a la que se acercan muchos  alumnos de Capital y Gran Buenos Aires.

Además de ser convocados, hecho que ya nos llena de satisfacción, les contamos que Julieta Garberoglio ha resultado ser campeona en su categoría, compartiendo con el auditorio una destacada explicación acerca de la resolución que "creó" para su problema.

Juli explicando la resolución de sus problemas

Más allá de este alto logro personal de Juli, al que nos sumamos acompañándola y felicitándola, nos queremos dejar de expresar que creemos que esta es una experiencia muy interesante y enriquecedora para nuestros alumnos, en la que no solamente está en juego lo que saben sino ideas como las de compartir con otros -conocidos y desconocidos- asumir desafíos y formar parte de un equipo, que es el de su escuela y el de todos los alumnos que, en este caso, sienten curiosidad y placer al resolver problemas.

Un aplauso enorme JULI, JUANI Y MARTI, que siguen preparándose junto a TOMI CASTRO, de quinto grado para la próxima instancia de la Olimpíada - REGIONAL-  y que están a un paso de la final.

¡Fuerza! ¡Tienen todo nuestro apoyo!

¡SE NOS PRENDIÓ LA LAMPARITA!

Los chicos de 4°grado estuvieron trabajando, durante todo el segundo bimestre, en un proyecto sobre "Electricidad".
Investigaron acerca de su historia, la electroestática, la formación de los rayos, los electrones, la corriente eléctrica, los materiales buenos y malos conductores, la distribución de la energía en las casas o en las ciudades y los circuitos eléctricos. Este último punto nos dio la posibilidad de demostrar lo aprendido de manera más concreta, así que decidimos que harían una serie de maquetas "con luz", ya que sabían cómo hacerlo.

Con mucho trabajo, ensayos y errores, lamparitas quemadas y  pequeños cortocircuitos pudieron lograrlo. ¡Y no saben lo lindas que quedaron!

Fue una experiencia trabajosa y muy enriquecedora en las que TODOS aprendimos mucho.

Les compartimos algunas imágenes.

 

Primera etapa: "A armar los circuitos"

 
¡¡¡Y se prendió la lamparita!!!!

 

 
Etapa Dos: "Armado de las maquetas"

  

  

Y ahora sí: "A ponerles LUZ"

 

  

 

QUEREMOS AGRADECER A CLAU QUE, COMO SIEMPRE, NOS AYUDÓ A PONERLE COLOR A NUESTRO TRABAJO.

LOS CHICOS DE CUARTO!

English Tea Party 2015

Today we enjoyed our Annual English Tea Party! 

During last week, 6th Form worked on different aspects of the English culture: Location, Name, Flag, Traditions, Tea Time, and their Coat of Arms... 

That was our special topic for this ocassion: The Official Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. 

We discussed its different parts and meaning, and the kids explained to the rest of the school what we had studied days before.

The second part of our show was very special! The kids created their own Coat of Arms! It was a really nice experience as a group, since they were able to share, to give their opinions, to coordinate different ideas and to be very creative! You will find below, some pics and its explanation! We hope you like it! 

6^th Form Official Coat of Arms

Quadrant 1:

Argentina´s flag, because it represents us as a country.

Quadrant 2:

The forest, because it is the main habitat for both, the leopard and the panda.

Quadrant 3:

Red and green quadrant with a G musical key, because we like music and those colours.

Quadrant 4:

Orange and violet: The colours of our school; and the light bulb because we have lots of ideas.

Panda Bear:

Because they are cute like us.

Leopard:

Because they are fast, we like their fur, and they are fierce.

Octopus:

Because they have lots of arms and they can do many things at the same time.

Angel:

Because we are nice, friendly and sweet most of the time.

Devil:

Because we can sometimes get a bit naughty.

Motto:

We believe in the power of imagination to create new things, and to know and learn all the time.

P.S: They all took home a decorated paper Tea Pot and some flavoured Tea Bags!
