Dancing Classes

Besides it is important that children learn more than academic subjects. Our school concerns about artistic subjects, too. That´s the reason that in Nursery´s Annual Program children take lessons such as Dancing and Music. Besides Additional Activities where children take lessons such as Art, Ballet, etc.
Every Thursday my Bunnies take dancing lessons with Miss Jessy. They wait for these lessons the whole week and they are full of enthusiasm. They are learning some dances such as “Negrillos”, “Carnaval de Cajamarca”, “Bailes de la Selva”, and it is really gratifying to see how they are improving their dance skills for the “Festidanza” a contest that we will celebrate in November and involves all the students of the school. The winner class in each level gets a price. Just enjoy their dance!

Permanent Activities

Everyday before start our classes, we do the Permanent Activities, that consist in greet everyone, see how is the weather each day, the calendar (month, day, date)and who is present everyday (attendance). During these activities, children sing, recite and follow instructions in English. They sing songs such as "Good Morning" (greeting), "Little Window" (weather), "There are 7 Days" (calendar) and "Hello!" (attendance).
Children enjoy a lot these activities because all of they participate, show their independence doing everything by themselves, notice who has come, and overall, sing a lot that is something that my Bunnies love.

Some of them were part of The Summer School.



Some of my Bunnies were part of the Summer School, they with Miss Carolina and Miss Elena were, from January 7th to 31st, learning a little bit of English and made a lot of activities that were part of our Summer School such as: Tae Kwon Do, Music, Computing, Swimming classes (that children enjoyed a lot) and more. The most of them are my Bunnies now. But, some were to different schools and I really miss them. Let´s Know them.

They are My Bunnies

Teachers are Always Learning at Saint George´s School


As a Saint George School’s teacher I have also learned a lot because we are always attending workshops, conferences, and some interesting events.
This February we had a lot of workshops such us Inquiry Approach with Lesley and Kenneth Snowball and Franz Guerra; Math workshop with Troy Gardner,
But, where I learned the most is with my co-workers that are always ready to help and give they support every time it is needed.
I feel very proud of my children and very happy to be part of this family.
