HEAD TEACHER’S Message
Mensaje de la DIRECTORA
Dear Pupils
Estimados alumnos: Este es un Anuario muy especial.
This is a very special Yearbook.
Durante todos estos años se ha establecido como el registro oficial y editado del año escolar.
Over the years it has become established as the official, published record of the school year. The first Yearbook was the brainchild of Mr. Wicks. His idea was to produce an annual publication for all the pupils at the school. A magazine that included either a picture or a piece of writing about everyone who was at the school that year. Since the first edition the BSA yearbook has become a central part of the collective memory of the school. I keep my copy of the first issue and all subsequent issues at home where I can go back and see how things and people have changed. Since the early days school has changed, not only have the buildings and facilities become bigger and better; the academic results have become more and more impressive each year too. Our teachers have become more and more expert and the work they do is more and more inspiring. What hasn't changed is how much the pupils, teachers and support staff all love and care for the school. Of course we all have our bad days but without exception visitors to the school comment on how much fun and energy they find here. I want all of you, every child, without exception to look forward to coming to school every morning. For me this is the mark of a good school. I am lucky to have been part of making it like this and I am lucky that I have had the support of so many wonderful teachers to make the school what it is now. The Yearbook is about you, the children and young people at the BSA. I know that many of you keep the Yearbooks and show them to your friends and family during the summer holidays. I am sure that, like me, they will be impressed with the range of activities you undertake, your ambition and the expertise of your teachers. I hope that when you are older, maybe when you have children of your own you will get this yearbook out and share it with your children or maybe even your grandchildren and show them what it was like when you were at school in 2010. I am sure they will laugh at your old-fashioned haircuts and your traditional school uniform. However, once they have stopped laughing at how much things have changed I hope that you will tell them how much you loved your time at the British School of Alicante. Next year I will be the Head teacher of King's College in Madrid. I have already told Mr. Lazaro that I want him to send me a copy of the 2011 edition. I will be keeping a special eye on how you are all growing up and how much you are learning. I want to read about your victories and your challenges. I want to read about how you are planning to make the world a better place. Most of all I want to make sure you all still love going to school and love learning.
El primer Anuario fue una invención de Mr. Wicks. Su idea fue producir una publicación anual para todos los alumnos del colegio. Una revista que incluyera una fotografía o un párrafo sobre cada uno que estaba en el colegio aquel año. Desde la primera edición del Anuario del BSA ha sido la parte central de la memoria colectiva del colegio. Yo conservo mi copia del primer ejemplar y de todos los siguientes en casa donde puedo volver atrás y ver cómo las cosas y las personas han cambiado. Desde los primeros días el colegio ha cambiado, no solo los edificios y las instalaciones se han hecho más grandes y mejores; también los resultados académicos han llegado a ser más y más impresionantes cada año. Nuestros profesores han llegado a ser más y más expertos y el trabajo que hacen es más y más inspirador. Lo que no ha cambiado es cuanto todos, los alumnos, los profesores y personal de apoyo quieren y cuidan el colegio. Por supuesto todos nosotros tenemos nuestros días malos pero sin excepción los visitantes del colegio comentan cuanta alegría y energía encuentran aquí. Quiero que todos vosotros, cada niño sin excepción espere con ilusión venir al colegio cada mañana. Para mí esta es la marca de un buen colegio. Soy afortunada de haber sido parte de hacer esto como es y soy afortunada de haber tenido el apoyo de tantos maravillosos profesores para hacer el colegio lo que es ahora. El Anuario es sobre ti, los niños y jóvenes del BSA. Sé que muchos de vosotros guardáis el Anuario y lo enseñáis a vuestros amigos y familia durante las vacaciones del verano. Estoy segura que como yo, estarán impresionados con la serie de actividades que hacéis, vuestra ambición y la pericia de vuestros profesores. Espero que cuando seáis más mayores, puede ser que cuando tengáis vuestro propios hijos, encontréis este Anuario y lo compartáis con vuestros hijos o puede que incluso con vuestros nietos y les enseñéis como erais cuando estabais en el colegio en 2010. Estoy segura que se reirán de vuestros cortes de pelo pasados de moda y vuestros tradicionales uniformes. Sin embargo, una vez que hayan parado de reírse de cuanto han cambiado las cosas espero que les digáis cuanto disfrutasteis el tiempo que pasasteis en el BSA El próximo año yo seré la Head teacher del King’s College en Madrid. Ya le he dicho al Sr. Lázaro que quiero que me envíe una copia de la edición del 2011. Observaré especialmente como todos estáis creciendo y cuanto estáis aprendiendo. Quiero leer sobre vuestras victorias y vuestros retos. Quiero leer sobre cómo estáis planeando hacer el mundo un lugar mejor. Y sobre todo quiero estar segura que todavía os encanta ir el colegio y os encanta aprender

Message from the HEAD OF PRIMARY Highlighting the successes of the school year is always a challenging task as there have been so many and narrowing them down to a few is very difficult. However, there has been one development this year that has incorporated so many other areas of school life that it stands out. Curriculum changes and developments over the course of the year has meant a more creative approach to learning is now embedded in many year groups and will be extended to others in the coming year. The changes to the Early Years curriculum over the last few years has meant that aspects of this curriculum, with the continuing development of creativity, is now moving in to other year groups. Last September saw the introduction of this creative approach in Reception, Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 and September 2010 will see this extended to Years 4 and 5. Creativity is one of the three key requirements in today’s world, which is changing at an unprecedented speed. The amount of information we pass on to pupils in the time they are at school is limited, so as well as teaching content we have to make sure that pupils know how to learn. The teachers have looked for opportunities to link themes, objectives and perhaps most significantly, Personal and Social skills in order to engage and involve children in their learning experience. Examples include our successful “Friendship” Week in the autumn term as well as the development of the school council and its role within the school. Key stage 2 celebration assemblies have been extended to include performances of dance, music and drama and sharing of achievements outside of school. This has enabled us to build a curriculum that is relevant to the children and families served by the school, but also in a world context. The creative curriculum has meant staff can develop a cross-curricular approach with more
investigative work, problem solving, development of creative flair and imagination. Through this curriculum we are stimulating creativity and through active involvement developing the children’s interpersonal skills. This approach has been evident in drama and performances throughout the year. Years 1,2,5, 6 and Early Years all performed at Christmas and at the end of the second term we saw performances from Years 1,3 and 4. Term 3 included the cross phase musical, “Joseph” and the drama group performance of “Teechers”. Anyone who witnessed these performances would agree that our pupils are confident and articulate in English and Spanish and particularly talented. Years 5 and 6 have been involved in LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art) and 58 pupils were entered for examinations in April in speech and communication. Likewise this curriculum has influenced our focus on spoken English. Assessment is another area that has been developed through this creative approach. Our system now allows evidence of learning from a wide range of formats, including elements of peer assessment and self assessment to engage pupils in the process. The impact on transition between key stages seems to have alleviated some of the stress placed on pupils when changing key stage as the curriculum and style of learning is carried through. The drive to improve the number of school trips and the linking of these to the curriculum and topics covered in class is another example of transferring what we learn across different contexts. The list of positive effects of this creativity is endless and I have only been able to mention a few in this report. However, the focus for next year is now firmly set and we can look forward to more questioning and challenging, making connections and seeing relationships and representing our ideas in a variety of ways.

School Council Our School Council continued to flourish this year with 24 members elected from Years 2-6. As part of our PSHCE programme ( Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship Education) the school council enables children to take increasing responsibility, to enhance their self-esteem and confidence and develop independence. The election of the school council members has also involved all pupils in a democratic process giving them a voice in the school. The first meeting took place on 24.10.09 where the members discussed and created “idea shields” on the role of a school Councillor. The children also decided on future meeting agendas: the environment and Science week. The shields along with photographs of our proud members will be on display on the middle floor of Primary. Thank you to Mrs.Crompton who organises and sees to the smooth running of the Council.

All our Year 3 classes had a wonderful day out at the Marq Museum and Lucentum on 17th October. Here are some of the children’s thoughts on their day: Pablo 3B My best part was Lucentum because I saw the old city walls. Lucia 3B I liked Palmeral because I could play. Loubna 3B I liked Palmeral because we ate our pic nic. Miguel 3B I liked Marq. In the boats there were many amphoras. Diego 3B I learnt that Lucentum was a Roman City. Cezan 3B We made Roman amphoras. Jonas 3P I liked the skull. Irene 3P I enjoyed listening to the guide explain ing about the Romans. Noa 3P In Lucentum I learned some more inter- esting things about the Romans. Raul 3P I enjoyed putting the Roman stamp on the ceramic bowl. Laura 3P I liked the skeletons under the ground. Alex G. 3P I looked at the sand through the micro scope.
Me and my class like going on trips, especially when we go to places that are exciting. Me and my best friend, Aitana, think it is special and very, very interesting. We went to the Marq Museum and Lucentum, it was exciting. Me and my friend liked it when we went on the boat and it was fascinating. Lara and Aitana –Year 3S
Thank You We will tell you more about our DT week in the next newsletter. However, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Miss Whittam (RW) for all her hard work in organising and preparing the week for us which enabled the teachers and pupils to get straight down to planning, making and reviewing their designs. I would also like to thank Mr. Mercado (Year 5 Parent ) for inspiring our Year 5 children to produce fabulous models with plasticine based on Greek myths. It was a wonderful experience for the children to work with an artist and to see his work.

World Book Day The Primary school celebrated World Book Day on Thursday 7th March. From Nursery to Year 6 pupils were involved in various reading activities, one of which was a set reading time of ten minutes, either in a group or individually. Some classes visited the library to choose their fiction book whilst others completed the task in class.
World Maths Day Wednesday March 6th was World Maths Day and several Primary classes took part in activities to celebrate it. One of the key events was an online maths challenge where our Year 6 children tested their mental maths skills against children from all over the world.

Carnival 2010
As always Carnival proved a BIG event at BSA. All of Primary, from Nursery to Year 6 were involved in the celebrations. This year the theme was “Board Games” and pupils made their own costumes the days leading up to the Parade. Some classes represented the “chess board”, while others were darts, noughts and crosses and ludo. Once again the sun shone for us and we all paraded around the football pitch to see one another’s costumes.

WORLD BOOK DAY! On Thursday 4th March, the school celebrated World Book Day. Many group or individual reading activities took place in the class, the library and the playground. Year 6 pupils came to the library to read books to Reception children. Some groups chose their favorite titles from the library and read them for 10 minutes. As the weather was lovely, many teachers decided to take the pupils to read outside the classrooms. All pupils were given a token for their effort to exchange for an English book in “80 Mundos” bookshop, which we are sure had a pretty busy weekend! We would like to give special thanks to those parents and children who donated so many books for the children in South America. We sent five full boxes to the charity “Interlibro”!

fter the terrible Earthquake in Haiti the Primary School of King’s College, Alicante raised money to help the unfortunate people who were suffering. The whole school was involved in fundraising. Children, their families, staff and teachers all helped by giving donations from different fund raising activities. The biggest and most memorable was making a big map and a Haitian flag out of coins and paper money.
There was also a bring-and-buy cake sale, a very successful non-uniform day and the teachers also sold their old books to each other. Altogether €4,114 was raised. "A magnificent effort by primary to help the plight of the Haiti people", said Fiona Thomas the Head of the Primary School. "I’m very pleased with all of our children and teachers who worked so hard to organize so many exiting activities last month. I’m proud that our school is such a caring community", said Elaine Blaus, Head Teacher. Thanks to the help of this fantastic school, all of the money will be going to the Spanish Red Cross to help the people of Haiti in this terrible time. By Iria, Lillie and Sergio M

KEY STAGE 1 ANIMAL SHOW
As part of our topics Animal Fever in Year 1 and Into the Unknown in Year 2 we had a visit from the Guacamole Pet Shop. They brought all sorts of different animals for us to see including a parrot, a 40kg tortoise, some puppies and a snake. We learned all about how to look after each animal, what they ate and some interesting facts. We were very excited to touch the animals and learned how to treat them with care and respect. It was the perfect way to finish our topic and we would like to thank the pet shop for coming.

SCHOOL PERFORMANCES The highlight of March has to be the Year 1 and the Year 3/4 productions at the end of term. The year groups involved performed to packed audiences and gave performances that were confident and well spoken. The singing was superb in both shows and it seems as though we have many budding actors and actresses at BSA. Year 3/4 told the story of “SPLASH” a great musical comedy version of Noah's Ark - told from the animals’ point of view! Preston Parrot was on a mission to save his animal friends from the greatest flood in history. But when no one believed his news, he resorted to a little deception and arranged a luxury cruise on board “The Ark!” Aboard, there was a crew of colourful comic characters, including a band of brutal pirate rats and a love-sick French cat! The journey was overflowing with surprises - a rock and roll party, a kidnap, a storm and a rescue were just some of the twists and turns that made the show an adventure we’ll never forget. Likewise Year 1´s theme was “Animals” linked to this terms topic. They performed some fabulous action songs and even Parents and Grandparents in the audience were joining in. I am sure all were so proud to see such confident and enthusiastic Year 1 pupils.

The feedback that the teachers received on the day from the visiting examiner was all positive. Mrs. Susie Hague, who took 35 hours to get to Spain because of the flight disruption, spent a whole day in Primary examining 58 of our pupils. Year 5 were examined individually and had to re-tell the story of a chosen book, as well as have 2 prepared topics for discussion. Topics ranged from Real Madrid to Winston Churchill and Mrs. Hague commented at the end of the day that she had learned a great deal about Spanish football. Year 6 were examined as a group and there were 4 separate groups comprising of 6-8 pupils. They had to choose a scene from a book and adapt and devise the drama for performance. They also used sound effects, props and some costume. The Examiner said: “I thoroughly enjoyed meeting the pupils and were impressed by their warmth and confidence�

DEPUTY HEAD GIRL AND DEPUTY HEAD BOY Isabel Delgado and Jack Bembridge were the new Deputy Head Girl and Deputy Head Boy. They came in to talk with the Secondary Newsletter Editor. Editor: Isabel can you tell me about what the Deputy Head Boy and Deputy Head Girl actually do? Isabel: As Deputy Head Boy and Deputy Head Girl, we believe our role includes a number of different responsibilities, which involves responsibility for the management of the sixth form common room. We also have to help the KS3 coordinator with various tasks and overall we need to be role models to all younger pupils who will one day be in our place. Jack added: Managing the Sixth Form Common Room cleaning rota is really important. We are very lucky to having a common room and it is vital that everyone in the Sixth Form behaves well in there and keeps it neat and tidy. Ironically I was on the cleaning rota on the one day the room got left in a big mess - so I have to be extra careful in future. Editor: Jack, is it easy to become a role-model for the younger pupils? Jack: Being friendly to younger pupils is easy to do. Showing leadership is more of a challenge. My own role-model is a rugby player called Jason Robinson. He has had a real struggle in his life but I admire the way he plays. It is different. He is not afraid to tackle even the really big rugby players he faces in matches. Like me, he is isn't the tallest or the biggest player but he still tackles srongly and is not easily intimidated. I hope that I can be a bit like Jason Robinson, good for everyone. The committee are a really good set of people. Isabel is a great person to work with she is confident and bubbly and I am strong and determined. We make a great team.

DR. ROGER FRY
INTERVIEW The Sixth Form committee met Dr Fry when he came to visit Alicante. Their interview covered a range of different topics. Here are the highlights: Dr. Fry, First of all we'd like to say how pleased we are that you have come to visit Alicante today and we would like to thank you for taking time to talk to us. To start off we'd like to know what you have enjoyed most about your visit. Well on a cold and rainy day like today I'd have to say that this cup of tea has been wonderful, but not as wonderful as visiting the early years department and seeing where the school starts to teach the three and four year olds. It is very impressive and the work they do is actually very interesting. The project they are doing on castles, even making castles is outstanding. And the work they are doing on human senses is excellent. The quality of the children's work is a reflection of the quality of the teachers and classroom assistants that are teaching them. King's College in Madrid is much older than the school here. Can you tell us about one moment in the history of the Madrid school that stands out as being particularly satisfying or memorable? Well there have been lots of interesting events and moments. It all goes back a long way. When I first started the school in Madrid in 1969, about 40 years ago, there were two things that caused some problems. It seems very strange now but at that time it was illegal for girls and boys to be taught in the same class. So we had to have two schools. One for girls and one for boys. But we only had one building, so we had one floor dedicated to girls and another floor just for boys. When an inspector came we had to steer them around very carefully because the girls and boys actually had their lessons together. In the first years we were pretending there were two schools but actually running it as one. The other problem we had was that studying in English was not accepted for pupils wanting to go to Spanish universities. Technically any foreign school was illegal. One
of the greatest things that I think I achieved was that I got a dialogue going with the Spanish authorities about British education. The president of Galicia was the Spanish ambassador in London so I went to to talk to him and he thought it would be good for Spain to have a British school and it worked out very well because his brother was the Minister of Education. So in 1974, after lots of discussion, we finally got permission from the Minister of Education to teach a British curriculum. King's College was the first school ever to achieve that in Spain. We were the first British school in Spain that could legally enroll Spanish students and have their qualifications recognised by universities in Spain. The school here in Alicante is getting bigger and bigger. How do you feel about this? I think its very good because once you get three form entry each year, as the children move up through the school you can offer a wider range of subjects at IGCSE and A Level. Larger schools give you a greater choice when the time comes to join the sixth form and a bigger school can afford bigger and better buildings, sports facilities, IT and science labs, Art, music and drama studios. Everyone benefits. What has impressed you most about the school in Alicante? The school here in Alicante is extremely well organised. The students seem to be very studious. The exam results and the school itself improves every year. Don't forget that the school is still very young. We have been in Madrid 40 years, the school here is much younger. To have achieved all that there is to achieve in terms of quality of education in just ten years is an exceptional achievement ...and how does our school compare with the other schools in King's Group? All the schools are different. We have the original school, King's College in Madrid, which was founded forty years ago. It is in an old building, but has many more students and therefore can offer a greater choice of subjects. The two other schools in Madrid, the

Secondary
infant and prep school are brand new. They are not quite as well consolidated as Alicante is, the new school in Murica is in a very big building with enough room for 700 children, but at the moment it only has 220 pupils. It grew from just 60 pupils in the first year so it is growing very quickly but has a lot to develop. Alicante is probably somewhere in the middle of the oldest one in Marid and youngest one in Murica. The school here has a very solid basis upon which to develop. It is clear that your career in education has been a great success; What have you based this on and do you have any role models that inspired you to do so well? Well, the success of King's Group is the result of lots of hard work, not just mine but the hard work of a whole team of people. When I was at school I was impressed by one of my teachers. He inspired me to build a careerer in education; which I have enjoyed very much. I have been lucky to do so many different things. Other people have created and developed schools and it is very satisfying to see the wonderful results of lots of all this hard work. You don’t get anywhere unless you work hard. It might be difficult but you really need to have the right idea at the right time and then you have to work hard at it. Being consistent and working hard are the keys to success.
What does the future hold for King's College, Alicante? The future? The future here is very bright. The fact that so many people want to send their children to the school very clearly shows us the answer to the question. As you probably know the school had a difficult start, after all sorts of problems with the education authorities in Valencia, problems with building and with the finances. What Mrs Blaus has achieved here is nothing short of miraculous. The problems she had to overcome at the beginning were extremely difficult. Thanks to the help of a number of parents those problems were all solved and the school was put on a firm and settled foundation. In some ways the difficulties faced here in Alicante were similar to the problems I faced in Madrid 40 years ago. The school is in a great position now. It can do a lot of things as it continues to develop and has lots of demands from parents wanting to enroll their children. I am convinced the school will continue to develop; good exam results prove the school is good. The team here, with the support of the team in Madrid, need to make sure that the success continues and is built upon. As I said: the future is very bright.

ART CLUB
Year 7 and 8 The art club got well underway with a staggering 31 students turning up to the club. The Year 7 and Year 8 students are creating original textile pieces, by doing this they will learn numerous textile techniques. The first of which is felt making, you can see from the pictures the students had great fun creating the base for their final piece and they now have the cleanest hands in school. The outcomes look very professional; we have found the new Maggie Greys of the textile world.
Year 10 The year 10 art students started their iGCSE course very successfully and produced some amazing pieces of art. This is the first time the students have used charcoal which makes the high quality of the work even more impressive.
We loved the chocolate! On Wednesday 14th October we visited the Valor chocolate factory. We were shown a video which explained the process they use to make chocolates of different shapes and textures. After that we went to see the Valor Museum which had interesting displays about the history of the company and allowed us to see the tools and implements that they used to make chocolate in the past as well as the actual office of Valeriano L贸pez, who founded the company in 1881. Afterwards we went for a walk through the typical Alicante style village streets of Busot and then we went on to the caves at Canelobre. The caves are, without doubt, a really impressive place to visit and thoughly recommended for everyone who hasn't already been. An underground walk takes you back millions of years.

Halloween Disco YEARBOOK
G
houlies and ghosties and long legged beasties and things that go bump in the night... all these and more will be seen at this year’s disco. It is always exciting to see what new ideas are dreamed up for the costumes worn by the KS3 pupils who attend the annual Halloween Disco, which this year will take place on Wednesday 28th of October. It is always a very difficult task to decide who has the best costume and every year it seems to get harder, as costumes become more exotic and make-up and hair styles and colours more daring!
T
he Halloween Disco was a great success raising over 160 euros for charity. The Prize winners were : Best Dancer female - Raquel (7P) Best Dancer male - Luis (7G) Best Costume - Juan Jose ( 8W) Ticket Prize - Irene (7P) Thank you
Apart from the prize for best costume there will, as usual, be a prize for the best two dancers, one male and one female. This is one of the most entertaining parts of the disco, where the titles are usually only won following a tight battle between several very good dancers. A new addition this year is a ticket prize, so don’t forget to hold onto that ticket until the draw, which will take place after the dance prizes have been awarded! There will also be some games arranged by the older students and of course lots of tasty snacks and soft drinks provided to help maintain those energy levels! The proceeds from the event will be given to a charity which will be chosen by the BSA Charity Committee, who are assisting in the organization of the event. The evening (5p.m. to 7p.m.) looks set to be one of the highlights of our year, so get stitching those costumes and make sure you are there to enjoy it! Janet Bowers

Trip to the
Isle of Wight Geography Field Trip 2009 Expedition to the Isle of Wight Geography, like most academic subjects, only really comes to life when it is combined with direct, first hand experience and exploration. The IGCSE and A Level exams demand a certain amount of field work to demonstrate understanding of practical environmental investigation. The primary objectives of the field trip to the Isle of Wight were to collect primary data, get some practical geographic field work done and to work on the case studies that are used in exams. We wanted to visit the places that pupils had only previously studied on maps and seen on the internet. The Isle of Wight is a geographically rich area. This makes it the perfect place for a field trip. The southern coast is being eroded by two metres every year, while the northern coast is collecting silt from the rivers that feed the Hamble estuary. This constantly changing environment demands a range of sustainable coastline management techniques that need to be understood for IGCSE and A Level Geography. In particular the demands of beach replenishment and the the need to "rebrand" sea-side resorts like Ventnor. The Isle of Wight has some fascinating rock formations, including the biggest land slip structure in Europe and the strange beauty of the multi-coloured sands in Alum Bay.
Happy memories • • • • •
The Big Breakfasts: traditional English breakfasts - sausages, beans, bacon, toast. And tea. The wind. We got blown about by some of the strongest gales in living memory. Winds over 60km/hour were recorded. Several clip boards got caught by the wind flew up the cliff. Misty (Ms Turton´s dog) thought Toby and Liam wanted her to catch the stones they were throwing into the sea. Misty jumped in to join in the game and almost got drowned. Ms Turton and Rocque got caught by the rising tides (not something that happens on the meditarranian) and tried to run for it. Mrs Turton's home made cakes.
The pupils also had the opportunity to visit Medina High School -Y12 dis some excellent presentations on the Alicante coastline and the Medina pupils told us about the rebranding of Newport. Football also played a part in our trip. On the way home we saw Manchester United beat Portsmough 4-1. Other sporting activities included Verena's down hill mud-skiing, Orienteering and Fussball championships.
Getting there EasyJet sold us a set of super-budget tickets which took us to Gatwick. Then we took the bus to Southampton where we caught a ferry to the Isle of Wight. The field trip allowed y12 pupils to actually see the land use that they had previously studied on a map in the classroom. We stayed in the Medina Valley Centre a purpose build field studies centre, right next to the estuary.

Y12 are in the process of writing up their case studies. Now they can draw on experiences of the real places - not just some vague ideas in their imaginations. Y10 learned techniques that will enable them to do their coursework at the end of the year. Over the next few months they will build a strong theoretical understanding on top of first hand experience from the Isle of Wight.

BSA with
Ghana Year 9 pupils studied the African country Ghana in their Geography lessons. They looked at the way that Ghanaians live their lives and learnt about individual people such as Grace, a young mother who lived near the town of Tamale in northern Ghana. Y9 learnt how debt is holding back Ghana’s development and compared development through large “prestige” projects like the Volta Dam with smaller, more sustainable projects. As a part of this geographic exploration of Ghana BSA pupils made links with Charles Nimoh from the Otua Acheampong School in Kumawu, northern Ghana. Pupils exchanged letters and geographical information about Alicante and Kumawu and exchanged photos of our daily lives. After consulting with Mr. Nimoh, the Head teacher, we decided to help the school improve its library. The Year 9s, led by Samantha , Ana, and Julia, organised a fete to raise money. “My favourite part of the day was making and selling the cakes to primary and secondary pupils at our cake stall” said Ana. The pupils raised over 500 Euros at the fete. Their Geography teacher, Miss Turton, used the money raised to buy books in the UK, then package them up and send them to Ghana. Miss Turton said “I sent the books from Brighstone village w Post Office on the Isle of Wight., Where my parents live and where the Geography field trip was based. There were five enormous parcels of books including dictionaries, atlases, the same Geography books that pupils at BSA use, reading books for all ages (including the entire Harry potter series) and a selection of African novels. It seemed strange that children in Alicante baked and sold cakes that raised money to send books to a school in Africa from a village post office in the UK”.
29
The books arrived safely in December 2009 and this week Year 9 were pleased when they received photographs of the pupils of the Otua Acheampong School reading the books that we had chosen and sent. The pupils, now in Year 10 were delighted that all their efforts had paid off. “It was good to see our books being used by the Ghanaian children” said Maria. “We have made a real difference to the school lives of these young people,” said Miss Turton. “Hopefully our gift will help to inspire the young readers of Ghana and strengthen links between our two communities.” There are plans to raise more money to send a set of Science books to improve the teaching and learning of Biology, Chemistry and Phisics in the Otua Acheampong School. Year 8 pupils will also be working on a project to exchange weather and climate data based on the Geography books that both schools use.

Establishing links with the local community and helping the environment
Tuesday, 23rd February all year 8 pupils spent the day in Aspe, Alicante taking part in the Reforestation Program offered by the town hall of Aspe. BSA pupils enjoyed a quick midmorning snack in a local park before heading off to ‘La Ofra,’ a favourite picnic spot and nature conservation area to roll up their sleeves and get involved in real planting of typical, native plants and trees. Firstly, pupils listened attentively to Señor Pérez Ballester’s presentation outlining the importance of projects such as this to the local environment to avoid soil erosion, conserve the natural habitat of wildlife and for the enjoyment of the community. There were 6 species of herbs, plants and trees indigenous to the area that pupils had previously studied in the classroom. Pupils had learnt both their names in Spanish and English, their qualities, growth patterns and something about how to plant and maintain them. Now it was their chance to put this knowledge into practice, and in small groups pupils assigned themselves roles to get on with the task in hand. Digging the holes was harder than some had anticipated but eventually everyone had prepared their areas ready for planting and each pupil planted at least one species, some pupils as many as 5 each! By the end of the day, BSA pupils were responsible for the planting of over 70 plants and trees and had hauled many buckets of water up a steep hill to ensure their survival! An excellent effort and a great day out. These green-fingered year 8 pupils continue this study in a unit of work in geography about Ecosystems in the area – and impressed Miss Turton by remembering lots of information about their field trip. Why not visit the area in the spring for a family barbecue and check out the progress of your saplings?

We went to France during the second week of February. We all had great fun. The first day, Saturday, we arrived in Paris by plane and went to Arromanches in Normandy. The second day we visited the museum of the Second World War in Arromanches and we also went to the American memorial to the victims in the 2nd world war at Omaha beach. We then headed to Dinan in Brittany and after having settled in our hotel rooms we went to the cinema. The next day we did a coastal walk and in the afternoon we went bowling. At night we went to a French café and played pool, pinball, and board games. Everybody had a go at ordering refreshments in French. On Tuesday we went to a typical French market in Dinard and we had a walk around the historic town of St Malo where we had a delicious meal. In the afternoon we went to le Mont Saint Michel and later took the high speed train (TGV) to Disneyland Paris. We were all very excited! On Wednesday we went to Disneyland Paris and spent the whole day there. It was amazing because it was snowing. At night we had dinner in a Mexican restaurant and the Y13 girls took some rock and roll lessons. On the last day we got up very early to go to Paris and spend the morning there. The Sixth formers had free time on the Champs Elysées while the rest of the group visited the Eiffel Tower. Finally we went to the airport for our flight back to Alicante. We were all very sad to be going back. Overall it was a perfect trip and we all enjoyed it very much. Claudia F and Miguel Ángel Year 12

the public education system must improve on this matter.
Arturo in the News A former student of the British School of Alicante has started at Alicante University but is heading for London. He admits that not everybody has the money to pay for the type of education he has received but urges that the public education system improves to make English fundamental to it. VICTORIA BUENO: What have you done to
achieve the award for the Best Grade in the World for A Level History and Spanish in the Cambridge International Exams? They are the results of the English equivalent to Selectividad and I achieved the best result in History and Lengua in the whole world, as well as the best mark for Geography of all the bilingual centres in Spain. The truth is, it’s not bad, I’m very happy but it arrived too late to get Into Oxford. What happened? If I had received the results certificate sooner they would have probably let me in to Oxford University because they pay particular
attention to your results. There is an entrance exam and you are there for a week doing interviews, so it is very frustrating that they didn’t except me. Never mind, the University of London is one of the best in the UK for History. Where are you studying now? In Alicante University but I would prefer to specialise more for my career and in England you can – the Plan Bolonia has in part been inspired by the UK. Here, education is more universal and in London particularly so. I really like History and want to go so I can get better training. Seems that this isn’t enough for you, don’t you think your education is a little elitist? Really, yes. I am fine here and enjoy University but it’s true that not everybody is able to achieve the level of English I have. It’s another option but in Spanish schools the level of English is very bad. Learning everything in English is very important and
Isn’t the British teaching style stricter also? I wouldn’t say so. In Year 12 and 13 I have had more freedom than my friends in other centres. I could structure my day as I liked. Also the classes are smaller, last year there were only two of us in History but when I started there were 17. Everything is more personalized and I am very satisfied with the teaching I received at the British School, and I can see I have more of a future in England. Where did you study before the British School? In Voramar School in San Juan Beach, until I was six years old. We have always lived in Alicante although my parents speak English because they lived in the US for a couple of years. Do you speak English at home? At home, and with my friends, I speak Spanish but I do read and watch movies in English. Was it difficult to be immersed in English at seven years old? The first two years were hard but the teachers are natives and they speak English the whole day and I am now totally bilingual. You obtain a very high level, though my first language is still Spanish. VICTORIA BUENO DIARIO INFORMACION

Beijing Gap Year By Jack and Krisha Year 13
Secondary
In August of this year we will both be embarking on a once in a life time journey, to work as teaching assistants at the British School of Beijing.
Little did we know it was just round the corner, although the driver insisted on taking the more ‘aesthetically pleasing route’.
him. Luckily when he returned he had a big smile on his face which partly eased Krisha’s nerves and partly made them worse.
Last month an advertisement was put up on the common room notice board, it read ‘Gap Year Experience Beijing’ and we were both intrigued by the picture of people our age sitting on the Great Wall of China. Whilst reading the advertisement, both of us pictured our new lives in China celebrating their new year and travelling around Asia, until we came to the bottom of the page and read ‘DEADLINE’… We only had two days to complete our first ever CV and covering letter.
Finally at our destination we became very intimidated by the somewhat older competition. Whilst we hadn’t and still have not completed our A-levels most of the other applicants had graduated from university and some even had PGCEs (teaching certificate). After a short wait we were invited into a room where we were given a fascinating presentation on the job entitlements and overall about life in Beijing. Suddenly we wanted it even more. All the applicants were given respective times for their interviews. During the interview we were both given a series of scenarios teaching assistants would have to deal with, along with the presentation we had prepared. Jack went first, although nervous he was surprisingly excited at the opportunity which stood in front of
When Krisha went through the door I could tell she was nervous, but I knew she was going to be fine. Unfortunately when returning all did not seem well, she thought she’d blown it. On returning to Spain Jack again was checking his emails everyday, whilst Krisha dreaded the thought of looking in her inbox. A week passed from the interview still with no news, Jack was growing even more impatient whilst Krisha had given up hope.
With the aid of Mrs Fisher and our excited but slightly worried parents, we spent the next 48 hours hammering away at it. Finally when they were finished we both emailed them over, only to encounter technical problems because the emails bounced back. Mr Wicks, technical guru, came to our assistance, emailing Janet Brock (Head of Sanlitun campus BSB) and informing her of both our applications.
Friday the 19th of March we both received the following… Dear Candidate, I am thrilled to offer you the position of a Teaching Assistant at the British School of Beijing.
The following week was possibly the longest of our lives; we were playing the waiting game checking for a reply every couple of hours. A week on we received the good news… Thank you very much for applying for the position of a Classroom Teaching Assistant at the British School of Beijing. You have been shortlisted... this caused mixed emotions, although we were ecstatic we now had to prepare a presentation for our first ever interview! On the 7th of March 2010 we both flew to Liverpool, England where the interviews were being held. The nerves had now set in, but all we could do was try our best. After Jack had his full English breakfast and Krisha her more continental option of cereal, we ordered a taxi to the interview venue.

Trip to Canal 9 And University of Valencia Visita a Canal 9 i Universitat de València Manolo and Carlos: Canal 9 was great! Afterwards we went to the University of Valencia and to the Maths college, and there were many jokes like this one: '-¿ Tu compilas ? - No. Yo con baterías.'
Manolo i Carlos: Canal 9 ha estat molt bé! Després hem anat a la Universitat de València i a la facultat de Matemàticas i allà hi havia molt acudits escrits d’aques tipus: -¿ Tu compilas ? No. Yo con baterías
Itziar: We went to Canal 9. It was incredible! I was also amazed by the university and the science college.
Itziar: Hem anat a Canal 9. Ha sigut increïble! També m’ha encisat la Universitat amb la Facultat de Ciències. Sergio: L’excursió a Canal 9 ha estat molt bé perquè hem vist com funciona el món de la televisió. Jaime i Ana Karin: Ho hem passat molt bé tant a Canal 9 com a la Universitat de València. Ha sigut una excursió genial! Cal destacar que ens ha agradat molt el plató! Ha sigue fantàstic! Sara i Sol: Aquest viatge ha sigut un dels més meravellosos del món! Ens ha agradat veure “la cabina de control” de Canal 9. Victor i Miguel Ángel: Hem vist Amaia Salamanca als corredors de Canal 9. És molt maca, però és una mica seriosa. Ivan i Marta: Ens ha agradat molt visitar la Facultat de Matemàtiques, però els acudits que hi hem llegit eren molt roïns (Ex. Hi ha un tio que cada dos per tres, sis)
Sergio: The trip to Canal 9 was very good because we saw how the T.V world works.
Claudia i María: La tele ha estat molt bé. I … una pena no haver perdut l’autobús i quedar-nos a València de festa fallera.
Jaime and Ana Karin: We had a great time at Canal 9 and at the University of Valencia. It was a great trip! The thing we most liked was the T.V set! It was fantastic!
Pablo i Miguel S.: Per diverses raons, no hi estudiarem a la Universitat de València. Aquestes raons són un secret!
Sara and Sol: This journey was one of the most marvellous in the world! We liked to see the control cabin in Canal 9. Victor and Miguel Ángel: We saw Amaia Salamanca in the corridors of Canal 9. She's very pretty, but she's a bit serious. Ivan and Marta: We liked to see the maths college, but the jokes were very bad. Eg: 'Habia un tio que cada dos por tres, seis' Claudia and María: The T.V was very good and... it was a pity we haven't lost the bus and stayed in Valencia partying in the 'Fallas'. Pablo and Miguel S.: For various reasons, we will not study at the University of Valencia. These reasons are a secret! Sarah and Isabel: We loved this trip to Valencia. We enjoyed it a lot and above all we want to thank Senyoreta Guio and Sr. Esteban for this last experience as students from the last year of the school.
35
Sarah i Isabel: Aquest viatge a València ens ha agradat moltíssim. Hem gaudit un muntó i sobretot volem donar les gràcies a la Senyoreta Guio i al Sr. Esteban per aquesta última experiència com a estudiants de l’últim any del col•legi.

Interview with Julia Signes
Why did you decide to take the Valencian Mitja test? I decided firstly because I had studied Valencian all my life and I thought it would be a shame to finish the classes without an official certificate. Also I didn’t think I would find it that difficult, although I didn’t approach it like an easy exam in order to pass. Finally I was conscious of the fact that, at least in the Valencian Community, the Mitja is highly valued and could be useful in the future. I have to say also that my Valencian teacher worked hard to convince me! Do you think your understanding of Valencian will be useful to you in the near future? It’s very likely, yes. Nowadays we are all aware of the importance of the diverse language of Spain in many aspects of our lives: education, methods of communication, administration…also the title of Mitja de Valenciano is now a prerequisite to be able to get certain jobs. So I am convinved that in the Valencian Community, and probably in Catalunya, it will come in useful for my future profession. Do you acutally use Valencian? Now I live in Catalunya I encounter it more, if not Valencian certainly with Catalan. Although in my University (ESADE) the classes are taught in Castellano, I am surrounded by many locals who prefer to speak Catalan on a day to day basis; I love being able to understand them without having to translate everything they say into Castellano. Did you enjoy the Valencian clases? What do remember about them) Obviously! I always liked the Valencian classes with Sra. Guio; there weren’t many students, in a trusting atmosphere and there were also funny situations when we tried to speak Valencian, especially when she was dictating. Despite that I am glad I no longer have to do exercises on “pronoms febles”!
41
Per què vas decidir presentar-te a la realització de la prova de Valencià Mitjà de la Junta Qualificadora de Coneixements de Valencià ? Vaig decidir-ho, en primer lloc, perquè portava estudiant valencià tota la vida i era una llàstima deixar les classes sense tindre algun títol que ho certificara. A més a més, no creia que anara a tindre moltes dificultats, bé que no es tracta d’un examen gaire fàcil, per traume-me’l. Finalment, era conscient que, almenys a la Comunitat Valenciana, el Mitjà es un títol molt valorat que podria ser-me útil en un futur. He de dir també que la meua professora de valencià va fer una bona tasca de convicció. Creus que el coneixement del valencià et servirá en un futur pròxim? És molt probable que siga així. Actualment, tots som conscients de la importància que estan cobrant les diverses llengües d’Espanya dins la majoria d’àmbits de les nostres vides: l’educació, els mitjans de comunicació, l’administració… És més, el títol Mitjà de Valencià és ja un requisit imprescindible per a accedir a determinats llocs de treball. Per això estic convençuda que, a la Comunitat Valenciana i probablement també a Catalunya, em serà útil en un futur profesional. Fas us del valencià actualmente? Ara que visc a Catalunya, estic molt més en contacte, sinó amb el valencià, amb la llengua catalana. Encara que a la meua universitat (ESADE-Barcelona) les classes s’imparteixen en castellà, estic envoltada de moltes persones de la zona, que solen utilitzar el català; i m’encisa poder entendre-les sense tindre la necessitat que em traduïsquen al castellà. ’agradaven les clases de valencià? Què en recordes, d’aquestes classes? Clar que sí! Sempre m’han agradat les classes de valencià amb la Senyoreta Guio; erem poca gent, dins un ambient de confiança i sempre es donaven situacions graciosíssimes quan tractàvem de parlar en valencià, especialment quan tocava dictat. No obstant això, ¡m’alegre de no haver de fer més exercisis de pronoms febles!

UNA CIUTAT MONUMENTAL
In olden times this village was called Saiti and Saetabis, it is located in the central part of the Valencian comunity, between the Ibérico and Penibético mountain ranges, and it is the heart and capital of La Costera region. We travelled to Xativa to learn more about this village and discovered many details that Year 9 pupils are going to tell you. MANUEL. Játiva's castle is the most visited in Spain. It has two parts: Castillo Mayor and Castillo Menor.
ERNESTO. Franco’s coffin was made in Játiva. Játiva has the most important coffin factory in Spain.
CARLOS J. The Borgia’s Popes lived in Játiva.
PABLO Y CARLOS R. Anna, our guide, told us that the three bronze canyons in the Castle were used in the Sucession War and previously were located in the Plaza de Armas. MARIO. There is a fun and interesting, interactive museum inside the Castle.
JORGE. In L’Amodí Museum in Játiva you can find a painting of Felipe V upside down because he forbade anyone from speaking Valencian. MARINA. I loved all the fountains in the village and the constant whisper of the water. LAURA. People from Jativa are called “Socarrats” because the village was set on fire by Felipe V (“socarrats” are burnt people in Valencian). ALBA. Font del Lleó is one of the most famous water fountains in the village and many people enjoy drinking its water.
EMILIO. The trip was very interesting and was the best way to find out so many new things. CLAUDIA R. It was a long trip but worth it. We walked through the village streets and visited many fountains. GUILLERMO F. We used a small train to get to the Castle and the scenery was beautiful and green.

Year 7
On Tuesday 13th April, all year 7 pupils went on an ´Hogueras´ trip. It was a fun packed day filled with different activities everyone really enjoyed it! Firstly we arrived at the ‘Museo de Hogueras’ in Alicante city centre and pupils created drawings of ‘ninots’ on display and discovered lots about the history of the festival. Next stop was San Vicente. We were very privileged to be allowed into an artist’s workshop to see a TOP SECRET ninot being created for Hogueras 2010. The artist, Fransisco Esplá, gave pupils a talk about the vocation of an Hoguera Artist, where his own inspiration comes from, what these impressive structures are made of and how they are put together. Lucky Maria Bañon in 7P was invited to help the artists with a section of the sculpture and she got very messy!

by all the Hogueras images they had experienced that day. Pupils had a great time on the beach, even though the wind was blowing strong! We had two winning teams, the girls team and the boys team, who both created amazing sand sculptures. As a reward the winning team got to leave their sand sculptures for everyone in Alicante to enjoy, the others had to destroy their work, just like during the tradition of ´La Cremá´. Hopefully the sand sculptures will still be there now, why not pop down to Alicante beach and have a look for a bird and some mermaids!!
After lunch pupils had a chance to put into practice what they had seen and learnt from the morning. In teams they had an hour to create a sand sculpture inspired

TEECHERS May 19th and 20th A most successful couple of days were had by the cast and crew of TEECHERS a play where 6 actors play all the kids and teachers of Whitehaven Comprehensive (not the best school in England)! Some good kids were putting on a production of ´Joseph´ - these weren´t the good kids. Everyone had a thoroughly lovely time and the audience seemed to enjoy it all as well – even the man who got told off for eating crisps. Huge thanks to all who helped and all who turned up to laugh and clap! -What is probably most remarkable is the hard work that the boys put into ´Lord of the Flies´, which was all going well till Piggy left for Scotland and plans had to change! Actors involved: Karl Lipman, Michael Saliba, Ethan Port, Hector Chapela, Ashley Allen and Charlie Hughes. Director: Sophie Welsh
“Si eres original, eres de libro” Students in the Secondary Department participated in a competition called “Si eres original, eres de libro” organized by CEDRO (Centro Español de Derechos Reprográficos), an association that groups more than fourteen thousand five hundred writers, translators, journalists and editors in Spain. The members of the jury are people with recognized prestige in different areas of knowledge (Art, Philosophy, Literature, Music, Science…), such as Juan Cruz Iguerabide, Juan Mollá, Margarita Prado y Fernández, Carme Riera, Javier Sábada and Ramón Tamames.

In groups of minimum two, maximum four, our students
had to do a research project on a topic of their choice. This is the second time that the school has taken part in it. This year there were two teams: “Doble A”(Alejandro Ramos Y7F and Alejandro Hernández Y8C) with their work entitled “History of Maths and tricks”. - “Yingyana” (Ying Zhou Y7P and Ana Antón Y7P) with their work entitled “Sea life”. It was a difficult competition, as there were 526 teams participating. Although none of them won, the team “Doble A” was a finalist. Congratulations to Alejandro Ramos and Alejandro Hernández, and thanks to the four students for their great effort! They all received a diploma.
