It is with great pleasure and excitement that the school has greeted all of our Bellverians back this morning. After the long summer break, students and teachers are ready to start and make of this academic year a success. Today, students from Year 3 to Year 13 will be involved in various workshops in which they will reflect on last year's achievements and how everybody can become an effective student at Bellver. We wish everybody a wonderful and productive year!
As the school year draws to a close, the students from Year 6 at Bellver International College have been reflecting on their time in Primary School and sharing their memories with their friends and parents.
The final Year 6 assembly included songs, especially written for the occasion, and dramas performed by them to illustrate their reminisces. With confidence they bid farewell to the Primary School and embraced the challenges ahead of them in High school. Bellver International College recently held their annual puppet show, for the children in the primary department, much to their delight.
Year 9 Craft students spend two terms preparing for the event. They write an original script, design and make papier-mâché puppets and then design and paint the scenery and props. This year’s craft class used Powerpoint projections on the wall throughout the performance along with a sound track of selected popular music. As the last year in the primary school at Bellver International College draws to a close for the Year 6 students, preparations begin for their entry into high school. Many of the students have been at the school since infants and are now excited to move on.
The teachers have arranged transition classes to introduce them to new subjects and new ways of learning. The children have been particularly excited by their visits to the laboratory where they have been introduced to chemistry and carried out experiments preparing crystals and looking at them under a microscope. The children from Years 2 and 3 at Bellver International College recently spent the day at La Reserva in the foothills of Puig Galatzo. They were guided along paths through the rocky hillside looking at all of the different plants and animals and even passed under a waterfall. At the end of the visit there was a little time to play in the adventure playground and everyone had great fun.
As part of the PE curriculum Years 3 to 8 have been going sailing to Club de Mar, each week receiving lessons in kayaking, sailing or paddle surfing with the fabulous instructors. So far, we have had 4 weeks of these classes which have been enjoyed immensely as these photos of Years 3 and 4 show.
Students from years 7 to 10 had the pleasure of watching Morgana Theatre Company´s production of Shakespeare´s `Macbeth´ last week, performed at the auditorium in Palma.
They enjoyed the dramatic tones of the tragic hero and the manipulative machinations of the evil witches By Sofia Year 8
The Leo's club members from Bellver International College, participated on the Europe day market in Palma Nova to raise money for our charity group. We developed our teamwork abilities and our social skills, we also used time and effort to try to help many people and also, to have fun. Once again, we can show how the hard work and enthusiasm can lead to great success and satisfaction. Students from Years 7 and 8 participated in an overnight camp near to the monastery in Lluc as part of their personal, social and health education. The adventure also enabled the students to practice their orienteering skills in preparation for sports classes in Bellver woods and the Duke of Edinburgh Award which starts in Year 10.
The students all had a great time and cannot wait for their next camp out. |
