Month: October 2018

Psychologist Lucia Piriz, coordinator of DESEM’s education projects, gave a talk about “2019 Young Ambassadors and Mentors” programme. Thank you!

We invited  the students that will start first grade next year to our Biology Lab. They toured the lab and got acquainted with some of its procedures. They worked with Biology Prof. Alejandra Guerra in an activity based on the recognition of different animals, their characteristics and adaptations. They also had a first contact with the lab’s materials and instruments of microscopic observation.

We enjoyed a theatre performance within our Cultural Action Programme. It was base on the representation of Virginia Woolf, Clarice Lispector, Edgar Allan Poe and Maria Rilke. Excellent!

3rd grade students went to LATU’s Science Space. It was a very positive experience from the pedagogic point of view, given that the children could acquire new knowledge in a ludic way.

We organized an integration day with the Liceo’s future students from Simiente. We had a great time and everybody enjoyed the activities very much.

On October 4th, Daniel Baldi visited Liceo Espigas and gave a speech to  2nd grade students. He spoke about his life experience while trying to make a living through his two dreams and passions: to be a football player and children’s literature writer. He told us how he enjoyed the process, how much effort it required and that, in some cases, he had to suffer to achieve his goals.

The students really enjoyed this enriching exchange. Afterwards,  they had the chance to ask questions which showed the great motivation and curiosity the subject generated in them.

Friday was kite flying day. We celebrated the beginning of Spring. Students wrote their wishes on slips of paper that were stapled to the kites. It was fun!
