Elementary

Last week, our Second Grade students showcased their creativity in a special hands-on activity. After designing and making their own toys, they welcomed Kindergarten students to learn about the toys directly from their creators.

The younger students explored the toys, asked questions, and discovered how imagination and creativity bring ideas to life. This activity encouraged collaboration, communication, and a love for learning across grade levels, highlighting the fun of sharing knowledge within our school community.

Last Friday, our Kindergarten students visited the Middle School for a special learning experience led by Grade 6 students. Through a creative drama presentation, the sixth graders brought the water cycle to life for their younger peers. Using storytelling, props and acting, the students explained key stages of the water cycle in a way that was fun, engaging, and easy for the Kindergarteners to understand. The younger students watched with great interest and enjoyed seeing the science concepts unfold on stage. This cross-grade activity was a wonderful example of collaboration within our school community, allowing older students to take on leadership roles while helping younger learners discover new ideas.

Earlier today, our Grade 2 students hosted a wonderful bake sale in support of Centro de Dia do Linhó.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of Grade 2 families, the tables were filled with delicious homemade treats and beautifully prepared baked goods. In the morning, all Elementary students visited the Lower Elementary atrium to purchase sweets and show their support. At lunchtime, the bake sale moved to the snack bar, giving Secondary students the opportunity to participate as well.

We are proud to share that, together, our community raised over €850. The funds will be used to help create more comfortable conditions for the beneficiaries of the Centro de Dia.

This initiative was a heartwarming example of generosity, collaboration, and student-led action. A big thank you to our parents and students for making this event such a sweet success! 🍰✨

Earlier today, our Elementary students gathered for the Quarterly Assembly — a special moment dedicated to celebrating their many achievements and positive contributions to school life.

Students were recognized for their accomplishments in athletics, community service, ecolution and other areas of excellence. The assembly also highlighted examples of outstanding character and behavior, reminding everyone of the importance of respect, responsibility, and kindness within our community.

It was a joyful and proud occasion, reflecting not only individual successes but also the strong values that guide our Elementary School each day. Congratulations to all our students for their hard work and dedication! 🌟

Parents were warmly invited to celebrate student learning as children proudly showcased their understanding of the human body systems through engaging presentations, thoughtfully created books, and informative posters. This work was part of an interdisciplinary unit of study integrating literacy and science, allowing students to build knowledge and skills across subject areas. Working in collaborative groups, students researched a specific body system, strengthening teamwork while developing effective note-taking strategies and non-fiction reading skills. Throughout the project, they gathered, organized, and communicated information with clarity and confidence, highlighting both their growing independence as learners and their enthusiasm for inquiry-based learning.
