Head Teacher

DEREK LAIDLAW

The future is not someplace we are going to, but one we are creating.

Looking through this latest edition of our Year Book, it is clear how much we have all achieved again this year.

The talents and versatility of our pupils still amaze me and I am very proud of the continued success of each and every one. The commitment of our staff is second to none and we should all feel very privileged to work in such a pleasant and stimulating environment and with such wonderful children.

Success comes in many guises; academic, sporting, artistic, social and personal. Our pupils are very well grounded in all aspects of their development and this is testament not only to them but to you, their parents, and all the staff here at King´s College Alicante. Individual success and collective success is what we strive for

and together we all benefit from the mutual support and encouragement which is evident every day at our school.

There are always ways in which we can improve as a school yet as we continue to grow and develop, it is important to recognise the success that our school, and all King´s Schools, demonstrates in this present difficult economic climate. The support of our Board of Governors and Central Services ensures that we continue to provide the best possible educational experience for our children and their future. Our examination results continue to impress and are within the top 5% - 10% of all COBIS and British Schools Overseas, thereby affording the best opportunities for our pupils to continue with their education at some of the best Universities around the world. The personal achievements of our pupils are equally as important as their academic results and we are strengthening and widening our 6th Form provision as the school enters the last phase of its natural growth from its halcyon days. However, we are not complacent, nor will I allow us to become so, and we will continue to strive for excellence and improvement in all areas of our provision.

Our job, as educators, is to facilitate learning: that is all.

In order to do this meaningfully in the 21st century, we must prepare all our pupils for the future in order for them to make sense of it and to prosper in it. This requires learning in all its facets - academically, sporting, artistic, socially and personally. It requires a continuing commitment from pupils, staff and parents to ´go the extra mile´ to achieve their goals. We take chances, make mistakes, learn from them and adapt to overcome these next time around. It is this adaptable and pro-active approach which will serve our pupils well in creating their own future.

I look forward to sharing another year of success ahead and to welcoming new and returning families after the holidays.

Head of Secondary

SIMON WICKS journeys we have been on since September. It captures the essence of what it is to be part of the King’s College community and I am sure you will all agree that we are fortunate to have been able to share these experiences together.

It also strikes me how many happy, smiling faces can be seen amongst these pages and I count myself very lucky to have been part of this community for yet another year.

King’s College, Alicante is a very special place. Achieving excellent academic results is of course an important part of what we are about, and the pictures of prize giving show us celebrating some of those successes, but what makes our school so special cannot be measured by progress and achievement alone. The parents, students and staff of King’s College are what make our excellent school a special school and why staff and pupils look forward to coming to school each day. In life there is nothing more important than the people you meet along the way and the relationships you form with those people and it is those excellent relationships between pupils, parents and staff which make our school unique.

Looking through the pages of this year book I am reminded just how much we have squeezed into yet another successful school year. This book is a great reminder of the fun times we have all shared and of the different

As you look through this book I am sure it will bring back some fond memories of the good times you spent with friends and loved ones. I also hope that in years to come if you open this Yearbook again you will agree that the days you spent in King’s College, Alicante really were the best days of your life.

WELCOME MEETING FOR NEW FAMILIES

It was my pleasure to receive many of our new families at a welcome reception in the Quadrangle. Several of our parents and new pupils took a quick tour of their new classrooms and enjoyed socialising and meeting key staff and other new families.

I look forward to welcoming them back to our other events and meetings throughout the year.

KING´S COLLEGE ACADEMIC SCHOLARS We were delighted to announce the inauguration of this new initiative from King´s Group in recognition of the top academic achievers in King´s College in the external examinations at GCSE and AS Level. This is a prestigious accolade which will benefit the recipients in many ways, including their forthcoming applications for University courses. Each of the pupils achieved a significant amount of passes at A* and A grades at King´s College Alicante and is predicted to achieve similarly high grades in future examinations. This year´s recipients were : Verena, Toby, Tara, Ernesto and Claudia.

New Teacher Miss Sanghera Primary Teacher

I graduated from The University of Manchester with a BA (hons) in English Language. I then remained at the university to complete my Primary PGCE. I spent my first 2 years of teaching at a primary school in Buckinghamshire where I taught year 2 and then relocated back to Manchester for 3 years where I taught in both year 1 and reception. I am really enjoying living in Spain and working at Kings College, Alicante. The children are delightful and very keen to learn. All the staff have been really supportive and welcoming to me. I am looking forward to continuing my teaching career here.

New Teachers Mrs. McHugh Physical Education

I have moved over to Alicante with my husband from County Durham in the North East of England. I was working in a state secondary school for the last 5 years after qualifying as a PE teacher from Durham University, and I felt the time was right to move back to a sunny climate...

I enjoy travelling and spending time with family and friends, who I'm sure are going to be pestering me for them to come and visit soon! I'm looking forward to becoming immersed in the Spanish way of life, and at school to making PE physically, mentally and socially worthwhile for all pupils. Watch out for some new activities intermingled with the old - it's going to be a great year for sport at King’s Collge, Alicante

Mr. Cook

English & Drama Coming from Madrid, where I spent three years teaching at an independent British school, I have really enjoyed the move to the coast and a summer holiday by the beach. I am really looking forward to raising the profile of Drama at King’s College, Alicante and to teaching English with the existing department. I am confident that my masters degree in Theatre Production and vast experience of workshops focusing upon the use of theatrical techniques in education will mean that my classes will enjoy a fresh approach to Drama at the school. I already have some clear ideas for the school production and look forward to collaborating with other colleagues in other departments to make the show another huge success. I am hoping that this year will consolidate the Spanish that I have learnt so far during my time in Spain.

First impressions

I am almost at a loss for words to describe my first impressions as I have been welcomed and I look forward to arriving at school each morning. The students´ focus and dedication makes them a pleasure to teach. After just one week I am in no doubt how the school has such excellent examination results while the positivity and clear expectations create a fantastic atmosphere for learning.

Mr. Doidge

Mathematics and Science I am a Mathematics graduate of King’s College London.

After also obtaining my PGCE at King´s, I taught through KS3, KS4 and KS5 at a large school near London before relocating to teach in the Netherlands.

After 6 years of teaching all secondary year groups in Eindhoven, I am very excited to be relocating here to Alicante to experience sunny Spain.

First impressions

The atmosphere within the school here in Alicante is incredibly welcoming and supportive. I consider myself very fortunate to be working with such dedicated staff and students. I am really looking forward to being part of the community here.

Mr. Turner

Economics & Business Studies I was born in Ireland, read Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford University and started my career working in finance in the City of London. After a few years I came to Spain and worked as an EFL teacher in Cordoba. Returning to the UK, I studied for my PGCE in Social Science at Leicester University. For the past ten years I have been teaching in an independent girls’ school in London. I’m not sorry to have left the grey skies behind and look forward to getting to know the students, staff and parents here at King’s College, Alicante.

Mr. Walsh

Physics and Science After completing a Mechanical Engineering degree and PGCE I started teaching in and around London and then moved to various schools around England.

I’ve lived in Spain now for about 13 years and have taught in a number of schools in Murcia, Valencia and Alicante.

First Impressions

King´s College, Alicante seems professional and organised and the staff have made me feel very welcome. I’m looking forward to the new challenges ahead.

NEW MULTI PURPOSE HALL The British School recalls the final combat of the Olympics in Barcelona ´92

Miriam Blasco and Nicola Fairbrother recalled the Olympic bout they once fought at the Inauguration of the Multi Purpose Hall of the school in Alicante.Prestigious coaches such as Carlos Montero and José Alberto Valverde were present at the opening.

The same players 20 years later Friday 21st of September, King’s College Alicante gathered the judokas Miriam Blasco and Nicola Fairbrother who competed in the Olympic final in Barcelona ´92 and resulted in thesportswoman from Alicante as the first woman to win a medal. It was just one bout but brought back memories during the opening event of the Hall.

There was a lot of fun during the event where many young promising judokas at King’s College Alicante got together on the tatami as well as the prestigious national judokas Vanesa Arenas and Luis Alcaraz.

The event, headed by Judo instructor José Alberto Valverde, was a demonstration of the main techniques in Judo which is one of the most successful sports in this province over the lastyears. The first demonstration of the morning started with the young ones. The audience was amazed by their technique and discipline. Vanesa Arenas and Luis Alcaraz, current Spanish Champions also took part with the children. The final surprise was the rematch between Miriam Blasco and Nicola Fairbrother.

“I brought the gold medal in case you beat me” said Miriam before remembering the emotive final 20 years ago.

It was a lovely and symbolic act that received a great ovation from the guests.

After the demonstration, Miriam´s gold medal attracted all the attention. The judoka showed the historic medal to the pupils so they could feel it´s weight and have photographs taken.

Alfredo Aracil, trainer of the Judo club “Miriam Blasco Arena” and the coach Carlos Montero, were also present at the event.

The president of Lucentum, Luis Castillo and the ex-football player Juan Manuel Asensi were also in attendance.

Primary Council Ready for Action!

Zone Sweet Zone

Every Year in Primary, we set up a School Council with a new set of members. There are thirty members in total, two members for each class in every year group from Year 2 to Year 6. Children from each class hold their own election process to identify their representatives for the year.

This year we had another thirty fantastic School Council members who are bursting with enthusiasm to carry out some important and essential work aimed at improving our school community.

This year the thirty new members are: Year 2

Year 3

Julia and Felipe (2D) Zachary and Sara (2T) Joe and Jimena (2S) Isabel and Eduardo(3M) Víctor and Alba (3P) Enrique and Aitana (3S) Nemo and Julia (4J) Julio and Lourdes (4O ) Cristina and Mateo (4P) Gerardo and Sofía (5C) Cristina and Manuel (5R) Sofia and Jorge (5S) Carla and Alex (6F) Lorena and Arnau (6G) Adrián and Emma (6H)

At their first meeting in September, the Council members identified Zone helpers. These members take responsibility for setting up zone games and toys on the patio every lunch time and they make sure these are put away correctly. Zone Helper Lorena said, “Making sure we have skipping ropes, bean bags and balls ready to play with during our lunch is very important. It is essential that we encourage children to play safely and look after the zone equipment.”

At their second meeting the Council identified the three subgroups for this year: • Healthy Me • Health and Safety • Eco Friendly In the next newsletter we will feature more about the work of the subgroups.

The Primary Council works closely with the following teachers: Mrs Gandhi, Mrs Pilkington, Miss Pyner, Miss Sanghera and Miss Snook. In addition the Council has already had support from Head Boy, Craig and Head Girl, Verena. This year we hope to work closely with the Secondary School Council to promote environmentally friendly projects.

“We enjoyed taking part in the bach clean enviromental trip as we know it is an effective way to improve our local enviroment. Whilst cleaning, we collected many items which were thrown away, causing pollution on the beach. The trip was very educational with the objective of learning how to look after our planet” Laura & Alejandra “It was very nice because it was ecological and we helped the enviroment. Working with our friends made it funny!” Miguel & Gema.

“The day of the beach was fantastic. Firstly because we helped the enviroment and secondly because we played games and enjoyed the experience with our friends” Luisa & Carlos B “We think it was a good idea because the beach was full of rabbish and items which harm the enviroment” Arturo & Takuma “It was a great idea to go to clean the beach in this way. We are aware of how badly people treat the enviroment and we had a great time working as a group and sharing the experience.” Paula & Jose Luis

International Award Silver level This year students taking part in the Silver award had the opportunity to complete the adventurous journey in Guadalest. They spent three glorious days taking part in a variety of activities that would challenge them to reach beyond their comfort zone and try new pursuits.

DAY ONE

Packing the mini bus full of students and camping equipment was the first test of the day, after some clever packing we set off for Castellett. Subsequent to donning the required safety equipment they were ready to tackle the Canyon. As it has been a particularly warm year the river was mostly absent, however Moreche was determined to find some water, and we soon heard crys of delight has she managed to be the first to fall into a small puddle of water, soon followed by Catalina who also decided to take a brief dip. There were several opportunities for them to practise abseiling parts of the Caynon. The students showed great camaraderie, encouraging and motivating each other. After a well deserved lunch stop we made our way to the campsite at the foot of the Mountains in Guadalest. The students spent the evening planning their hiking route for the following day and preparing a variety of meals varying from a five course Chinese banquette (Li and Liu) to hotdogs; All whilst watching a beautiful sunset over the mountains and later some shooting stars..

19

DAY TWO

The second day consisted of a hike up to Castile de Castiles; the students were encouraged to use the planning and map reading skills that they had leant the previous year on the Bronze trip. They were doing well until they missed the turn off for the path leading around the base of the castle. However as Craig put it ´they weren’t lost and they knew where on the map they were; although not where they wanted to be´.

Teachers and students rondevued at the mini bus for a top up of water and they were soon back on the right path, to successfully completing the day´s activities.

DAY THREE

The last day of the trip: and by now a little harder for the students to get moving in the morning. However, by 10am everyone was at the climbing wall practising the figure of eight knot needed to attach them to the belay line. First to climb the wall was Craig with Liu set up as the belay man. Next to volunteer was Alejandra, with Sandra controlling the belay. They both showed a great strength of character as they were extremely nervous. Everyone was able to complete at least one level 4 climb, a great achievement for their first attempt. Some (Moreche, Li and Liu) enjoyed it so much they went twice and Craig even acted as the lead climber.

Over all the students demonstrated that they are willing to set goals and make every effort to achieve them, courageously pushing themselves beyond their normal expectations. They should be proud of what they have achieved in this world recognised programme.

Thanks to Ms Cook, Mr Pemberton and David for all their planning and organisation.

YEAR 11 PUPILS VISIT “LA PEPA�

Galleon La Pepa is a travelling ambassador ship that marks the 200 year anniversary of the first liberal constitution of Spain in 1812. The ship is on a route of the main Spanish ports with the aim to bring historical knowledge and education. It also pays tribute to the overseas projection of the first liberal constitution on both sides of the Atlantic, and to the special relationship with Cadiz, the birthplace of the Constitution, and to the sea. In addition, Galleon La Pepa is a replica of those Spanish galleons that joined together Spain and America for three centuries.

The first liberal constitution of Spain was an inspiration for all Europe and America. It was enacted on March 19 and is popularly known as La Pepa. It marks the birth of the modern age, freedom and rights in Spain, reached through major institutional and political events and large cultural and civil movement.

YEAR 8 TRIP TO SERRA MARIOLA Year 8 began their busy explorer’s day on Thursday, 11th October at the Visitor’s Centre Masía de Ulls near the town of Banyeres, part of the beautiful Natural Park Serra Mariola.

Their objective for the day was to see a little of the stunning scenery and discover the ‘Font de la Coveta’; the source of the Vinalopo river, one most of our pupils are familiar with. This easy hiking route is about 6 kilometres in total and serves as a good introduction to hiking in amongst these magnificent pine forests. Upon reaching their destination pupils were glad to wash their faces in the spring and have a rest before heading back to the visitor’s centre – the way back proved to be further away than the way there funnily enough! Luckily Señor Francisco and Mr Cook did what they could to encourage those trailing behind.

We then took advantage of the proximity of the nearby town of Bocairent. An unusual, picturesque town packed with history, Bocairent has loads to see and do but we only had time to check out the very heart of the town – the town hall square. We saw the cobbled, steep narrow streets and the eight storey buildings set in the mountain side that have survived since their medieval beginnings! Appetites were whetted to explore further the huge variety of experiences waiting to be enjoyed here in the Comunidad Valenciana, and pupils sang every song they knew in unison on the coach journey home!

YEAR 4 VISITS El Clot de Galvany During the first term the Year 4 children have been learning about national parks, what they are and why they are so important. After studying ecosystems and the fauna and flora of the region Year 4 went to visit El Clot de Galvany.

El Clot is situated between El Altet and Santa Pola.

The area is of great environmental value and attracts many small birds and interesting wildlife. During the trip the monitors explained the rules for how to behave correctly in the protected areas so that we preserve the plant and animal species.

QUOTES FROM YEAR 4: “The monitor showed us some of the different types of plants and flowers.” “ We thought we saw a huge tree but the monitor told us it was in fact a big bush.”

“We saw the bunkers that were used during the Spanish war, this is where they kept the bombs and where the fired their guns from, the bunker protected them.” “ We were taken inside the bunker, it was a little dark and there wasn’t much space.”

“We saw lots of ant houses and houses of foxes.”

“There were a lot of mushrooms.”

“We went on a walk and took photos of plants and animals.”

YEAR 5 GREEK DAY Pupils and teachers sported chitons for Year 5´s Greek Day, which supported learning in History, while further enthusing them about the Ancient Greek world. The day began with an Olympic Games PE session, which was followed by the making of Greek Jewellery and Masks. For lunch, the classes enjoyed a wonderful banquet with Olives, Feta cheese, Moussaka and figs all on the menu.

Greek plays were then enthusiastically rehearsed, before the charasmatic performances were later shared between the classes. A fantastic end to a fantastic day.

WATCH OUT WATCH OUT… LITTER PATROL ABOUT! This month has seen the introduction of the Primary Council Litter Patrol initiative organised by the Health and Safety Sub Group. Building on the success of last year’s litter collection rota on the Key Stage 2 patio area, the Council has now introduced high visibility litter patrols.

Every week children from each year group, including Year 2 in Key Stage 1, take on the responsibility of being Litter Patrol wardens.

Their job is to ensure that children respect their play area in school and place rubbish in the bins provided and pick up any litter left on the patio or inform a teacher if the litter needs professional attention.

Initial feedback from staff and children is that the scheme is a real success. Kyla from Year 6 said “I have been a Litter Patrol warden and I felt very responsible; I speak to other children and remind them nicely to use the bins and not to drop litter.”

Mrs Pilkington the Health and Safety Sub Group teacher said, “The Litter Patrol people are doing a great job; children are using bins and taking more pride in their school environment.”

The Health and Safety Sub Group are looking at other ways of improving the patio environment.

WHO’S GOT TALENT?!

Our Annual Talent Show once again proved just how many incredible people we have in Secondary at King’s College, Alicante. The whole Secondary School and Year 6 gathered to watch the acts get on stage and “do their thing”. Performers from all year groups participated, judged by a very honest group of pupils and a rather acerbic Mr. Pemberton!

All pupils in the audience were incredibly supportive and thoroughly enjoyed watching their classmates.

Mr. Walsh also brought the house down with his opening solo act and his closing “Newton Rap” about the laws of Physics!

The winners were Teresa, Carlos, Hamish and Katriona (picture below).

Congratulations to everybody who took part!

CHRISTMAS

FUN December always brings with it our very enjoyable Christmas Parties in Primary school. Once again, Santa made an appearance in his grotto much to the delight of our younger children. We held our annual Christmas Carol Concert and again collected a huge amount of toys, clothes and food for charity. We also held two cake bake sales raising money for local charities. Thank you to all pupils, staff and parents for your generosity.

CHRISTMAS

FAYRE

Our first Student Christmas Fayre held on December 18th was a great success with over 1,500â‚Ź being collected in under 3 hours!

Added to our Christmas Card sales, the total raised in December for charities is now well over 2,000â‚Ź. I will be detailing all our fund raising this term in my January letter. I would like to congratulate our Head Boy Craig , Head Girl Verena and our 6th form committee for their wonderful work this year towards our various charities including planning, organizing and running the Fayre. I would also like to thank the other 6th formers who helped on the day and Sr Esteban and Mr Wicks for their guidance of the committee.

CHARITY NEWS Every year we are delighted with the response from our pupils, parents and staff to our fund-raising for charity. The process and end results of helping those less fortunate than ourselves provides not only a sense of satisfaction, but a sense of responsibility and citizenship. This is one of the most important lessons our pupils will learn and I am proud of their contributions, efforts and thoughtfulness. Helping them to become better citizens through contributing meaningfully to society is the bedrock of our future generations and I am delighted that we can play a part in this process on a local and international scale.

This year we have contributed cash donations totaling almost 2.500€ to the following charitiesDown Syndrome, Bomberos Unidos sin fronteras, Butterfly Skin Foundation (Epidermolysis bullosa), Foundación Vicente Ferrer (sponsored child in India), Caritas, Oxfam and the World Wide Fund for Nature. In addition we collected and distributed a large amount of clothes, food, toys and books at Christmas to Ejército de Salvación (Salvation Army) in Alicante and Asociación Humanitaria Americana de Alicante.

In the near future, we will be contributing to Asoka animal protection society, (Asociación para la defense y protection de los animals) and Acción Contra el Hambre (Action against Hunger). Next month I will give you further detailed information about our exciting new Oxfam and WWF joint project.

Thank you.

New Staff

Mrs. Metcalfe Primary Teacher

My name is Stephanie Metcalfe and I am the new year 3M teacher here at King´s College Alicante.

I graduated from Edgehill University, Ormskirk, Lancashire in 1997 where I gained a BA hons/QTS in Social Studies and I have worked full time as a primary teacher since then. I have taught across the whole of the primary age range from reception through to Year 6. I fully believe that children learn best in a supportive, well-disciplined and vibrant environment with lots of fun and games. I have just recently moved to Spain with my husband and I hope to live here for many years in the sunshine. When I’m not working I like to spend time with family and friends, especially my two grandsons who also live in Spain. All the staff have been very supportive, friendly and welcoming here and I am looking forward to continuing my career here at King´s College.

Mrs. Lawrence Primary Teacher

I have over 25 years experience of teaching in Primary and Secondary Schools and also as an instrumental teacher in England and Wales. I am a keen musician and singer and enjoy a wide variety of musical styles from Jazz to Classical and Rock. I have 2 children who are in their 20s and are both musicians working in the music industry and teaching like me!

I moved to Alicante in September 2012 to undertake a classic boat restoration project and live on my boat ´´Miss Evangeline´´ in Alicante Marina. I hope to go sailing in her sometime in the Spring. I liked Alicante as soon as I arrived and I am very happy here- - especially as I have such a lovely year 2 class who are helping me to settle in to the British School of Alicante very well.

Last year I taught at Sir James Henderson School in Milan where I began to teach English as a Second Language and continued to teach at a language school when I arrived in Spain. I find this work very rewarding and am constantly learning as well as teaching my language!

I have just joined the Rainbow fish class in Reception.

I trained at Clifton nursery nurses college in Bristol where I spent two years and at the end passed my nursery nursing exams. I then decided to leave my small village where I had lived all my life, and at eighteen moved to London to become a live in nanny. I worked in the London area for many years as a nanny, a job I really enjoyed. My longest employment with the same family was nearly ten years. After my daughter was born my husband and I decided to move to Spain.

It was a big decision but we felt the life here in Spain would be good for our daughter. I first worked with my husband starting three businesses here, but this year I decided to get back to the job I love. The staff here have been extremely supportive and I work along side two lovely teachers. The children are a pleasure to be with and are extremely well behaved and eager to learn. I look forward to my time ahead at the school.

OPEN MORNING On Saturday 26th January, we welcomed 24 families to our very successful prospective parents´ Open Morning for Nursery.

I would like to thank our Admissions Officer Debby for all her organisation and the other staff who attended on the day.

PLANTS This term Year 1 are learning all about plants and how they grow.

We have been very busy planting different kinds of seeds and finding out what they need in order to grow.

We did an experiment to see if the seeds would grow without water and found out that they won´t.

Our experiment to find out if seeds grow in the dark was very interesting. We were expecting that they wouldn´t grow, but in fact they did! We were all very surprised.

We have been re-telling the story of Jack and the Beanstalk and have planted our own beans.

Here is one that has started to grow. We are hoping that they grow as big as Jacks.

We have been very lucky in Year 1 because Mrs Collingham´s father has built us a new planter so that we can try to grow some vegetables. We are all looking forward to see which class can grow the biggest carrots!

MR. BUTCHER

HEAD OF SCIENCE TEACHER OF CHEMISTRY

I came to Alicante in the April of 2010 after teaching for 8 years in the UK. It had been an idea of mine to work abroad, preferably in a Spanish speaking country, for a long time but the right opportunity to actually take the plunge took a while.

I graduated from the University of Bristol with a degree in Chemistry and stayed in the city to train as a teacher. My first post was in a Grammar School in the beautiful market town of Cheltenham where I spent 3 very happy years working in a very experienced Science department and also teaching lots of Physical Education. I was the Head of Gloucester House and as such was involved in many extra-curricular activities.

I then relocated to Manchester in the north of England and worked for 2 years in a Roman Catholic school as the only Chemistry teacher in a large Science department. I enjoyed the opportunity to create my own vision of how Chemistry should be taught 47

and give the pupils greater access to practical experiments.

I stayed in the north-west for my third post, in a large secondary school near Runcorn. The north-west of England has always been important nationally for pharmaceutical and petrochemical manufacture and retains this tradition today. It was at this time that I was involved in a school trip to Barcelona for pupils to take part in water sports. I enjoyed the trip so much and felt so comfortable in Spain that as soon as I returned to the UK started looking for jobs and the post at King´s College Alicante was too good an opportunity to ignore.

When I was 18 I spent a year as a teaching assistant in a British school in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was at this time I decided teaching was the career for me, and a life in a Spanish speaking country would fit with this choice. It may have taken a while to make this into a reality, but I am fully enjoying how things have turned out.

CASTLE MODELS YEAR 7

Year 7 have been creative in History! As part of their studies on the Medieval period Year 7 have made castle models in which they tried to include all the defensive features about which they have been studying. The results were extremely impressive, all of the students put a great deal of effort into their models. Well done!

GUILLOTINES YEAR 9 It was the time of year again for making guillotines as part of our study on the Terror. Year 9 have been very creative this year, we have even had a guillotine made out of cake! The students certainly put a lot of effort into their models and the results were excellent. We have also been discussing the interesting fact that Dr Guillotin made the guillotine originally to provide a humane death for all social classes, so therefore fitting in to the revolutionary ideal of equality!

PADI SCUBA CERTIFICATION The Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) is the world’s largest recreational diving membership and diver training organization founded in 1966 by John Cronin and Ralph Erickson.

PADI courses range from entry levels (such as “Scuba Diver” and “Open Water Diver”) to “Master Scuba Diver” and a range of instructor certifications. Under their PADI TecRec brand, PADI also offers various technical diving courses, including decompression diving, trimix diving and gas blending. Similarly, PADI’s sister company Emergency First Response Corp provides a range of first aid and CPR programs for lay people, including workplace specific programs in Australia, Canada and the UK. The PADI system is composed of modules with standardized learning objectives divided into theory and practical skills development. Upon completion of each course, a certification is issued to the student.

COMMENTS FROM SOME PUPILS I thought scuba diving was a fantastic experience especially, when it came to practice, when we started diving in the sea the second day we got to see even a ray and octopus in its cave, on the whole scuba diving is a very interesting enrichment activity if you like the sea, sea life or both.

David Year 12 I loved doing the scuba diving course, and found it a fun way to learn a very valuable skill. The hardest part was the theory, trying to memorize various hand signals for communication underwater. The most fun part was removing my mask and going for a guided swim underwater, as a way to practise what to do if you lose your mask while diving.

YEAR 8 BATTLE OF

NASEBY Mr Hackney used his war gaming skills to teach the Year 8 History classes about the English Civil War. Mr Hackney organised the battle with 2 large armies of painted 15mm figures and all the terrain and designing fast play rules for 23 participating players. The students then played the game to reenact the Battle of Naseby. The Battle of Naseby was a key battle of the English Civil War. On 14 June 1645, the main army of King Charles I was destroyed by the Roundheads commanded by Sir Thomas Fairfax and Oliver Cromwell. The students were really enthused whilst playing the game and had to make key decisions about strategy in order to win the battle. In 8D´s recreation the outcome of the battle matched reality and even went one step further with both King Charles and Prince Rupert being captured thus ending the war one year earlier. Whereas 8S had the outnumbered Cavaliers winning which is no mean feat! This was a fantastic way for the students to learn about this period of history and they are now doing some follow up work designing their own battle for the same period.

Mr Hackney is now working on designing an activity for Year 9 about World War I and the Battle of the Somme.

Eco Warriors are on the War Path!

The Primary School Council`s Eco-subgroup are on a mission. During February, they have been calling into classes to check if they are being Eco-friendly. They will check if lights are switched off when the class is not in use; that taps are shut firmly; computers and projectors are shut down if not in use; windows are shut if the radiators are on; doors are closed to keep the heat in and there is evidence of recycling of paper and other materials.

The Eco warriors include: Enrique 3S, Alba 3P, Cristina 4P, Mateo 4P, Sofia 5S and Lorena 6G and the group is led by Miss Sanghera.

The Eco sub-group first met last term and made Eco posters for the Key Stage 1 area of the school. This term they have been working on posters with Eco messages for the rest of primary.

Key Messages include: Switching Lights off Recycling Paper Turning off Taps Turning off Projectors and Computers Closing doors if radiators are on Closing windows when radiators are on

Miss Sanghera said, “It is really important for children to promote these environmental messages to their peers.

The sub-group have worked hard to create some fantastic posters which promote these important messages.”

Lorena from 6G said, “I am very passionate about the world around us. We must protect it and we can do that by making sure we recycle paper and reduce how much energy we use. I can´t wait to do the Eco-walk”.

Mrs Gandhi, Primary School Council Coordinator, said that the Eco warriors were doing an amazing job and really keen to see the school become more environmentally friendly.

THE YEAR 4 STORY TELLERS IN SPANISH

In order to encourage the Enjoyment of Reading, the students of Spanish Language in Year 4 have acted as Story Tellers for the students of Nursery.

This activity will continue throughout the year as it has already been a success. The younger ones have shown great interest in the stories that the older ones told them. They have taken into account the choice of an appropriate story to read, as well as a meticulous presentation of the reading.

THE RED CROSS AMBULANCE VISIT The Red Cross visited the Nursery and Reception classes to talk about health and safety. Each class had the exciting opportunity to go and visit the ambulance and learn about the important role of the Red Cross. The children had a great time exploring the ambulance and learning about the life saving equipment inside an ambulance. The children especially liked hearing the siren which was very loud and made us jump!

We would like to thank Ana the school nurse for organising the visit and the Red Cross for taking the time from their busy schedule to come and talk to us.

ALICANTE & THE WATER MUSEUM YEAR 7 We drew a sketch of something in the Santa Bรกrbara Castle. All of us enjoyed it a lot!! Next, in the Water Museum, we played games and resolved quizzes.

The guide showed us how the sea water is taken to homes and how they clean it.

58

ALCOY & MODERNISM YEAR 8 In the trip to Alcoy, we went with a guide and he explained to us all about the history of this village and the important places like El Refugi or La Font Roja. These places are very interesting and beautiful places to visit. I’ve never been to Alcoy, but I am sure I will go back and visit it again.

By lunchtime, we went to have our lunch at the Font Roja, this was a very beautiful place to have our lunch. We had a lot of fun, because we got to spend time with all of our school friends on a school trip.

The food was good so I did not have any problems with that.

Silvia, Year 8D I loved to go to Alcoy. We visited the Town Hall and saw the paintings. The guide told us a lot about Alcoy’s history. After that, we went to the Refugi de Cervantes and we saw the different parts. In the afternoon, we went to the Font Roja. It was fantastic!.

MARQ &

LUCENTUM

YEAR 8 At first, we started by visiting the MARQ Museum. We went to the Prehistory room, were the guide explained to us about the daily life at those times, how they buried the people, which types of clothes they used, how they hunted, etc.

Then, we went to the Iberian room, were the guide explained to us about the culture and the religion of the Iberians.

At the end of the tour of the MARQ Museum, we visited the Romans’ room, were the guide explained to us how Romans invaded part of Spain, how they imposed their language and customs, their culture, etc.

Finally, we visited Lucentum. The guide led us through the ruins of Lucentum while he was explaining to us what they meant and why the Romans built them. He also showed us small remnants of statues that had been built by them.

This was a very informative trip because I think that all year 8 learnt a lot during the visit. Also, we had great fun!

Marta, Year 8D I enjoyed this trip because we learned a lot of different things and interesting facts. In MARQ our guide explained to us how people lived before. In Lucentum, our guide explained in great detail about Roman Baths and it was very interesting.

YEAR 9

The trip to la Vila Joiosa was very tasty! We first went to a Chocolate Valor factory. When we went in, the factory smelled incredibly of chocolate, delicious! Then, we emptied their chocolate reserves.

Then, we went to Chocolates Pérez, the oldest one, where some of us ate 100% cocoa chocolate.

Finally, we drew some of the typical houses of la Vila. It was a great experience!

YEAR 9

We went to Monóvar and Novelda. First we visited the Azorín House where we found out about Azorín’s life and where he lived. We saw where he worked, slept, and saw the library were a huge of amount of his books were kept. Then we had a snack in a little park and afterwards, went to the Modernist HouseMuseum, built in the Modernism Style from the last century. We discovered about the family that lived there and the history of the house.

Before lunch, we visited one last place, the Santuario de la Magdalena, and after the talk, we listened to the organ. Then we had our new packlunch and, played around the park. When we arrived at school, we made our own picture to contribute to the exposition.

VALENCIA

VISIT

Personally, our visit to Valencia was very interesting and enjoyable. The monument that I most liked was the town hall, a building made by three different architects at two different times and centuries, and that now is one unified building. In addition, the central market was also very nice because you could see everyone buying traditional food; it’s a modern building of the twentieth century, and what amazed me were 959 stalls at the market and the colourful glass windows to take all the advantage of the natural light.

Then we went walking beside the lovely Turia gardens, covered with green vegetation that made it a very pleasant place to take a walk. We arrived at Gulliver’s park, which we all enjoyed like little kids, throwing ourselves down slides.

Finally, we arrived at the Science Museum (Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias), which I also liked a lot because we were able to touch everything as it was all interactive to engage the public in all the activities. I highly recommend Valencia as a tourist place, to visit museums, buildings or just to enjoy it.

MURCIA

VISIT

From start to finish, Murcia was an exhilirating experience. We arrived (on time!) at the stunning Town Hall where Pedro, our tour guide (whose English was impeccable) met us.

We then visited everything the city had to offer, except the wee fashion boutiques, and enjoyed lunch in the centre, too. Not only did I love visiting the city and learning about it’s history (thank you, Pedro!), but getting time to spend time outside of the classroom with classmates and teachers was a treat.

Hazel, Year 12 On the 21st of february we went to visit Murcia with Sra. Vila, Sr. Lazaro and Mr. Turner. We had a guide who showed us all the interesting buildings in Murcia, such as the cathedral and the town hall. He explained with great detail what made those building so important, such as the baroque facade of the cathedral or the neoclassical style of the convent. After seeing the building we went to the center of the city to eat and look around the shops.

In conclusion it was a very beneficial trip for us as we learnt a lot about the city of Murcia, and now we know that Murcia is more than just IKEA.

SKI TRIP

We left school just before 10.00am picked up our monitor, Dani in Torrent, made a lunch stop near Teruel and arrived at the hotel in Sabinanigo just after 6pm. A nice easy journey with a bit of music, a film and a lot of excitement, and now we are fed, watered and all ready for an early start tomorrow and the metres of snow that await us.

Best get lots of sleep.....(ahem)....

Getting out of bed at 7.00am is not as tough when there are 3 metres of fresh snow waiting for you and after a quick breakfast we made our way up to Panticosa. The quickest ski fit of recent times meant we met our instructors for a 10am start and lessons to perfect carving turns, learn to snow plough or simply how to stop! The sun was out to help us see the way and excellent progress was made by all. Lunch was enjoyed together before the groups went off to perfect the skills learnt in the morning. The black run from the summit was tested for safety by the teachers (the things they do for their students), though the final run of the day to the bottom was maybe a bit optimistic.

Luckily, the ski patrol were about to show the way and a full days skiing was achieved. Tired and smelly bodies lay strewn throughout the coach on the way back to the hotel and the promise of a hot shower.....

Now we Alicantinos are no strangers to a sunny day, but when the big fireball in the sky reflects off a mountainside of snow, all the brighter (and warmer) it feels. The cloudless sky greeted the skiers after their well earned lie in (7.15am) and a day of t-shirt skiing beckoned. The initial hour saw beginners who could just about stop end up conquering full blue runs, intermediate skiers fly down the black run and Guillermo lose his skis.

The lack of accidents on piste was replaced by incidents on the chair lifts. 3 snapped poles and one dropped by the end of the day is testament to the importance of having to check your mobile

69

f e b r ua ry at every opportunity. A group trek to the back of the mountain for the afternoon was an inspired decision as we were afforded every type of piste and the mountain to ourselves. More than half the group joined the advanced skiers for the end of day run to the bottom to bring a fruitful and sunburnt day to a close. A wander around Sabinanaga preceded dinner and the day concluded with cards and disappointed Barca fans in the Hotel cafeteria.

The third and final day came too quickly and passed in a flash, though the skiers made the most of the day again by waking early, rising without complaint and collecting skis and poles quick enough to earn all of them a quick run on a deserted piste before meeting the instructors. Even the beginners had the rare opportunity to lay the first tracks on newly bashed snow and quickly progressed from Green to Blue before lunch. Visibility was reduced under the cloudy sky, though the snow was softer for it and the more able groups were able to use the snow that was breaking from the piste to attempt technical turns on the Black run from the top of the mountain.

The final free ski of the afternoon saw the skiers venture to their favoured runs discovered during the week.

The beginners faced the daunting task of using the ski lifts, intermediates attempted the Black runs they had been eyeing up, and the advanced skiers passed on tips to their friends and guided them through some as yet unseen hills.

42 tired and weary skiers met for one last time by the gondola and those who had one more run in them made their way to the village for the last time, and for the others an easy egg ride took them safely back to the waiting coach. Tall tales and bold claims were shared on the way back to the hotel, with the knowledge that the torture of wearing ski boots was over.....for now.

LITERACY WEEK IN EARLY YEARS The Nursery and Reception children had a fantastic time during literacy week. One of the highlights for the children was the shared reading with Year 5 and Year 6 who came to visit their classrooms. The children loved sharing their favourite books with the older children.

Many of the Year 5 and Year 6 children had prepared puppet shows of traditional stories and they performed them to small groups of Early Years children. They had worked really hard and on behalf of all the children and teachers in Early Years we would like to thank them for their hard work and efforts. Well done Year 5 and 6!

The children loved this activity and fun was had by all. In the afternoon we had our Teddy Bears’ picnic.

All the children brought in their favourite teddy bear and we had a special picnic all together on the nursery playground. It was a fabulous day!

On Thursday 7th March, the school celebrated World Book Day as part of the Literacy Festival that took place from 4th- 8th March.

KS2 and Year 7 students came to the library to do different activities related to books by famous British writers such as Lauren Child (author of “Charlie and Lola”), Francesca Simon (author of the well-known “Horrid Henry” Series), Anthony Horowitz (creator of the “Alex Rider” Series) or Cathy Cassidy, among others. All of them were invited, together with many more, to take part in The Biggest Book Show on Earth, a British live programme where the most popular writers and illustrators talk to students in schools all over the world.

Year 6 students came to the library to watch the programme and were delighted to meet their favourite authors. Then they had the chance t o borrow some o f their books the day.

EMMA: SPAIN CHAMPION! Alex and Emma came back from Pontevedra where they were participating in the Spanish Table Tennis Championships. Alex played very well and although the stiff competition prevented him from making it to the the finals, he played very well.

Congratulations however must go to Emma who won the title of Spanish Champion in her category (Benjamin Femenino). Emma also won silver in the team game and bronze in the doubles. Well done Emma and Alex!

JOSE LUIS BADMINTON

Jose Luis from Year 10M obtained some impressive results in a prestigious national tournament held in Tordesillas (Valladolid), coming third in the two categories in which he competed. After two intense days of matches, were he had to play against the very best players of Spain in his category (Under-15), he made it through to the semi-finals of both Men Singles and Mixed Doubles.

Both matches were very equal, although Jose Luis was not able to show his very best level and lost both of them. However, this is still a great result as it is one of the most important tournaments of the calendar, just after the Spanish Championships. Jose Luis has also obtained some more excellent results in recent months.He became 1st in mixed doubles in Alfajarin (Zaragoza) and 5th in men’s singles and 2nd in mixed doubles in the International Tournament of Granollers (Barcelona).

All of these tournaments have given him very valuable points in order to qualify for the Spanish Championships, for which he has been preparing since the start of the season.

WILLY WONKA WOULD BE MIGHTILY IMPRESSED! As part of this term´s amazing topic “CHOCOLATE”, Year 6 have been learning about the chocolate making process and visited two chocolate factories in Villajoyosa. Their homework project was to invent their own chocolate factory and build it using recycled materials where possible.

On Wednesday, 20th March the children, with much excitement, brought their creations to school. In the afternoon their works were exhibited in a museum where the rest of the school and parents could view over 60 chocolate factories!

It is not untrue to say that every single factory was unique and it is quite hard to believe that over 60 ideas could be so different. The imagination and thought that went into each and every factory is quite exceptional. Every factory had something special whether it was the clever way it demonstrated the chocolate making process or whether the idea was just so ingenious. There were factories made from sugar cubes; factories with mechanical working parts; factories made from sweets; a forest factory; a factory set in a rabbit burrow; factories with electrical circuits; the list goes on and on.

We would like to thank all those parents and friends who supported their child with this project. Your efforts are hugely appreciated. I think the results speak for themselves. There were many happy, proud children displaying their work on that Wednesday afternoon and I am sure it was a memorable day for them.

The choice of winners for this project was extremely difficult. After much deliberation the following winners were decided: Emma (6H); Víctor (6H); Justina (6G); Alejandro (6G); Manuela (6F); Stefania (6F) If you were unable to visit the museum, the children´s work will still be on display in school after the Easter holidays in the library, office area and outside Year 6 classrooms. Come along and be amazed!

MISSION EXPLORE

BARCELONA 2013 During March an elite squad of Geographers travelled to a small town called Sitges, located on the coast 30 minutes from Barcelona. Our mission was to collect information on rebranding and explore how villages and towns have tried to rebrand and reimage themselves to attract more tourists and bring more money in to the area.

We met at Alicante airport a chilly Sunday evening at 21.00, we assembled our squad and were issued our tickets for the plane to Barcelona. Once we infiltrated the airport our main priority was to find food and drink, to feed our ongoing hunger. One hour later and a lot of chocolates from duty free and coffee from Starbucks we boarded the plane and after a short 45 minute flight we landed. Our next mission was to find the coach to the hotel, this turned out to be harder than expected, however we eventually succeeded in finding the right coach and boarding it problem free.

After the coach dropped us off we had to trek a massive 500 meters, it was tough, we almost lost a few good guys, but we left no man (or woman) behind.

We arrived at the hotel and were given our access cards to our own headquarters. We were told to be at a morning briefing at 9am after breakfast at 8.00am.

We had a debrief at 18.00 to discuss our work and this was followed by dinner. This was our general routine, each new day a new place to tackle.

The trip was amazing, we explored and discovered completely different ways of life from the simplest of living in villages no larger than our school, to the largest of them all, Barcelona. To see all of these things and to be with your friends was a fantastic experience and I can say that this truly was an experience I will not forget.

ma rc h The Barcelona trip was one of the best and most constructive trips I have been on as a student. We arrived very late on Sunday but after a good night´s sleep and an appetising breakfast we were all full of energy to start with our coastal work. We began with a 30 minute walk in very cold and wet conditions but despite the climate we managed to complete all the work on time with the help of the teachers and Dutch, our fieldwork tutor from Barcelona. It took us until 16.30 to complete the work as we had both pebble and sand beaches to analyse. After the hard work we were given and hour and a half to relax before our two hour follow up session in the hotel with Paul, another local tutor. Our evening meals in Barcelona were absolutely delicious and they were probably the most relaxing moments of the day. At about 10.00pm we were all back in our rooms ready to get a good night’s sleep.

On Tuesday morning, we got on the coach with our guide, Dutch. We were heading towards the rural outskirts of Barcelona, Priorat, famous for its delicious wines. We divided ourselves into groups of four and each group analysed a different part of two villages, taking notes and pictures to see how it has been rebranded. We were then taken to a town for some free time and to have lunch, relaxed and ready for another two village visits in the afternoon. In the coach ride back to the hotel we completed some of our worksheets so we were ready for our follow up session with Richard, a course tutor from Barcelona.

We discussed the information we had collected in all our different groups. That night after supper we were all exhausted and therefore went to sleep relatively early.

Wednesday was the day in which we visited El Raval, the poorest part of Barcelona. We were again divided into four different groups and given different streets to analyse in four different regions of El Raval. We also visited La Rambla and were given free time to have lunch and visit Barcelona. It was a great day although by the time we had the follow up session we were all extremely exhausted.

On our last day we woke up after a lie in and after cleaning and packing we set off for Barcelona. We left our bags in some lockers at the station and went for a walk to see the Olympic Park and the Gothic areas of the city. We were given a free afternoon in the city to finish seeing the places we had not had time to see during our visit the previous day. After some site seeing, shopping and eating, we all met up ready to go to the airport. It was short and smooth journey back to Alicante and not before long we were greeting our families with hugs and smiles, very ready and looking forward to sleeping in our own beds once more.

LITERACY FESTIVAL WEEK During the Literacy Festival week, pupils from year 10 wrote fun 500 word stories with a moral related to literacy. We spent a few lessons preparing these stories and practising our writing techniques.

Each of us wrote our story with a lesson based on different themes such as spelling mistakes, grammar errors and punctuation lapses. We then went to primary and read our stories to the Year 6 students.

We divided into groups and read our stories to small groups of children. When we finished reading the stories we then asked the children to try to figure out what the literacy moral of our tale was followed by some games related to literacy. During this activity we switched groups so that all of the children had the opportunity to hear our stories and hopefully learn from our literacy morals!

We really enjoyed this experience and we felt proud of what we had achieved by the end of the day. We hope that the younger children enjoyed it too!

TAKUMA, LUISA & PAULA 10M

Literacy week may sound boring, but at King’s College Alicante, it was nothing short of exciting!

Throughout the week, the whole school was busy displaying the strong and impressive level of English it’s known for, through all sorts of weird and wonderful activities.

Year 8 frightened the lives out of Primary by creating their own Puppet shows. The pieces of literacy were enough to petrify any horror-fanatic! However, the stories did more than send chills down your spine, they taught us all valuable lessons such as ‘never judge a book by its cover’ and ‘be grateful for what you have’. Not only was it inspiringly creepy, but it was all their own work, as they even made the puppets!

Then we had Year 9 fighting for their reputations, statuses and pride in their Battle of the Planets.

Three planets, Banana Moon, Unity and Diversity and Floating Odyssey went ´head-to-head’ in a literacy battle, performing songs, dances and even dramatic pieces to display why their peers should pick their planet as the most exciting and striking. In the end, it was Floating Odyssey who had the most impressive English, showing that their planet was invincible.

Maybe we’ll see a re-match soon?

However, one of the highlights of the week had to be the Ninja Battle. A-level English couldn’t have been more thrilled when Miss McGuinness and Miss Taylor asked if the class would put on Ninja outfit and teach other year groups Kung-fu Punctuation, leading to a Ninja Battle on the quad. The four Ninjas whacked, kicked and ‘ka-powed’ their way onto the quad Karate Kid style, and taught punctuation like you’d never seen it before.

The battle ended with Darwing House claiming victory. Who will knock them from top position next year? (Ninja style, of course.)

ma rc h World literacy day – a day to celebrate literacy everywhere. The year sevens, eights and nines of King’s College Alicante definitely did, that’s for sure. All day on Tuesday the fifth of March, sixth formers ran from class to class, helping out where they were needed, making sure everyone made the most of a day dedicated to group activities. There was one rule – everything had to be done in English.

Year eights started the day with a reading by a visiting actor, Kevin. He taught them the importance of diction, pauses, volume and speed when acting, before finally getting around to the story. He began with a question.

“Do you know the meaning of the word pruning?”

The pupils were confused, but after a short explanation, a couple attempts at translations and some hand gestures, everyone was ready to hear the horror tale of Simon Hawkins and the old woman who lived at the top of the hill. Everyone listened attentively, all entranced enough to jump out of their seats at frightful crows pecking at hearts, scary blind eyes and strange wooden boxes.

The story ended with a dramatic silent scream, and a feeling of dread lingered in the air. Soon enough, though, everyone was all smiles and able to put on their scariest faces for a group picture with Kevin. Everyone then made their way to the classrooms where they’d take their newfound skills and put together shadow-puppet stories to later read and act out to year 5 students.

The year sevens had spent the morning working in groups on fictional superheroes, with literacy inspired names ranging from – ‘Speech Mark’, ‘Captain Colon’ and ‘The Bracket Destroyer’; punctuation was a popular theme.

The year nines, on the other hand, being the oldest, seemed to have the most extensive task. They were sorted into teams to create whole planets. They would have to design anything and everything surrounding it, from the anthem, to the nature of the population, to the environment and the primary religion. Jobs were assigned within and by the groups, and the planets’ background stories and histories were written, to be read and presented (with performances and visual aids) to the rest of the groups. The creators of ‘The Floating Odyssey’ were victorious, but not without a few bumps in the road, in particular, a few warnings as to their use of Spanish in their discussions.

Quite a palaver, but that’s how things are done around here; either all the way, or not at all.

SKI TRIP TO PANTICOSA

On Monday 18th February, pupils of Year 11, 12 and 13 embarked on a 5 day ski trip to Panticosa, Huesca.

We stayed at a hotel in Sabiùånigo which was very comfortable and spent 3 entire days at the ski slopes.

The group was divided into three levels and they each had a separate instructor for 2 hours of lessons in the morning. After the lessons, we joined together to ski down the mountain to the bottom.

Personally, we enjoyed the trip a lot and it felt like the trips flew by. We recommend this experience to everyone and would definitely repeat it.

PAULA AND HANA, YEAR 11 The Ski Trip was a fantastic experience for me.

The conditions were excellent, clear blue skies and sunny. Everyone enjoyed it, the great views from the mountains, learning how to ski and luckily no-one broke any bones.

The only problem was with Mr Butcher slowing everyone down with his snowboarding at the end of the day down the mountain to the bottom!

Apart from that, the trip was definitely the highlight of my time at this school.

BRONZE INTERNATIONAL

ma rc h

AWARD The 1st part of the Adventurous Journey for the Bronze International Award took place at the beginning of March. Some 32 Year 12 students attended the trip to Puig Campana to develop skills in areas such as team work, leadership, planning, navigation and map reading.

Day 1 got off to a great start with all students remembering to bring their kit, although some brought more than others and had little room to lie down in their tents. After erecting their tents each group had to plan their route for their 2.5km walk around the Finistrat area. Some groups had real difficulty getting to grips with the map with the Butterflies group taking over 2 hours to even leave the start area. At the end of the walk Carmen and Julia were so pleased to be heading towards the camp that they ended up walking straight passed it. That evening every one planned the route for the following day and then cooked a hearty meal under the stars.

Day two saw the Mafia Group up and ready to go at the crack of dawn, so early in fact that the advanced teachers party had not yet set off. Ellis cooked the largest breakfast I think I have ever seen, for his entire group. The Mafia group managed to complete the hike and make all the check points in record time closely followed by the boys group Los Tetacios. All of the groups, with only the occasional wrong turn managed to follow the plan that they had created and make it back to the campsite in time for the bus. The Supernicegirls Group only just managed to make it back within the time limit, however with some great organisation they managed to collapse their tent and pack in record time and we set off to return to School.

All of the student had a successful initial trip and enjoyed the experience. They should now be well prepared for the final assessment trip in April.

The following students deserve special mention: Ernesto and Sam for their willingness to help others.

Ellis for his outstanding camp cooking skills.

Anastasia for her politeness.

Sasha, Alina, Alina and Anastasia for their sheer determination to succeed.

Carmen and Alba for their positive outlook.

NURSERY

NEWS In Nursery we have been enjoying the lovely warm weather and making the most of playing on the playground and using all the different activities and zones in child initiated play.

In class we have been learning about the season of Spring. We have painted some lovely pictures and loved learning about all the amazing things that happen in spring.

89

ma rc h We have looked at books and seen all the wonderful things that happen in this season.

This term, because the weather is warmer, we are making the most of our outdoor area and we have many more exciting activities to choose from.

Last week we started our mini topic “Pets�. We have brought in lots of books etc from home and we are enjoying sharing with the rest of the children pictures of our own pets and talking about them in English and in Spanish!

SPLISH

SPLASH SPLOSH In Year 1 this term our topic is Splish, Splash, Splosh.

As you might be able to guess we are learning all about water!

Here are some pictures of what we have been doing so far. We have been learning how to measure capacities with different kinds of containers in the water tray.

We have been guessing which materials will float or sink and then exploring the materials to find out what happens when you put them in water.

We found that it can depend on the shape of the different materials.

We will be learning some history about what it used to be like to go the seaside in the past.

Maybe you can help if you have any artefacts or books at home related to the history of Alicante beach.

We will also be doing a variety of art activities related to water, which will include looking at the work of artists Warhol and Monet, textile work - sewing fish and creating 3D moving sea pictures.

Our topic will also cover learning about marine life and will culminate in our school trip to the aquarium at the end of May. This term we will be preparing the children to move to Year 2 which will involve small changes to their normal routines. The children should now bring reading books to school on a daily basis so that they can read to their teacher. Also next month they will begin to change for PE in school. More information about the year group transition will follow.

We love our Pirate corner and under water sea world!

YEAR 2

HEALTHY ME, HEALTHY PLANET! In Year 2 we began our new topic ´Healthy Me, Healthy Planet!´ We have been talking about food that we can eat everyday and food that we should only eat sometimes.

We have also been learning about the importance of exercise to keep our bodies healthy. The children have been telling each other about all the different sports and activities they do. We certainly have very healthy children in Year 2!

We know that it is important to keep our planet healthy too and the children have been using books to find out about recycling and reusing different materials.

“Our bodies like healthy food.”

“We have drawn healthy plates of food...now we feel hungry!”

“It is better for the planet to recycle things than just throw them away.”

“Boxing keeps us healthy.”

“Ballet keeps us healthy.”

92

Earlier this month we were happy to be visited by volunteers from Action Against Hunger charity.

They came to talk to us about the problems of child hunger around the world.

We found out that food shortages can be caused by war, natural disasters and poverty. Action Against Hunger look after children under 5 years old who suffer from malnutrition; also they help provide access to drinking water and provide equipment and seeds so people can grow their own food.

Action Against Hunger runs life-saving programmes in over 45 countries which benefit seven million people each year. On Thursday 30th May we will be doing our bit to raise money for this charity. The whole school will be taking part in “The Race for Hunger� a sponsored run. Last year children and teachers had great fun running laps and raising money for such a good cause.

HEALTHY US YEAR 3 As part of their topic “Healthy Us”, Year 3 visited the Central Market in Alicante, in order to make biscuits.

(This was a Science element of the topic, “changing state”) First the children washed their hands; then put on a hat and apron so that they would not contaminate the food. Next they were shown how to make the dough for the biscuits. Afterwards, they all had a piece of dough, and, using moulds, they made biscuits of different shapes. When the biscuits were cooked they wrote down the list of ingredients in the same order that they appear on commercial packets, starting with the largest quantity, and finishing with the smallest. They then compared their biscuits with factory produced ones, finding that theirs were healthier. Lastly, they looked at the commercial packaging to see how the packets are made attractive in order to persuade you to buy the product. (This is what they are studying in English at the moment – “persuasive writing”) The children thoroughly enjoyed the trip, and agreed that the biscuits were “delicious”.

ART

EXHIBITION

The annual art exhibition took place in the library. The event was well attended by parents who enjoyed the fantastic artwork on display from pupils and friends.

Private viewings of artist´s work are a custom in professional art galleries around the world and we here at King’s College Alicante see no reason why the students work should not be celebrated in the same way, especially as a lot of the work would not have looked out of place in a professional Bond Street gallery.

All year groups contributed to the event which included sculpture, illuminated letters, graffiti and painting. The work by our talented sixth form was awe inspiring.

The amount of effort and creativity shone through in every piece displayed. KS4 and KS5 have all worked very hard to finish the coursework requirement of the IGCSE and A Level qualifications and the quality of the submissions this year is very high indeed.

The comments book was filled with encouragement and praise about this wonderful and thought provoking event.

Odin Year 6: “It is fantastic there is a lot of effort in the work…there is art in the air.”

Alba Year 6: “I would like to draw like that…”

Raquel Year 6: “I really loved the paintings. Great effort! They were fantastic…I really enjoyed the graffiti section.”

Sr. Bellot: “The creativity is fantastic from the pupils.

Congratulations!”

Hazel Year 12: Absolutely fantastic selection of pieces of a really high standard. Have to say I´m jealous! I particularly enjoyed the different cultures portrayed.”

Alejandra Year 5: “This art exhibition was fantastic. I love it and hope that there is more next year”.

Congratulations to everyone involved with the school production of School of Rock. Both performances were full of energy and enthusiasm and we were very proud of all the performers – musicians, singers and actors.

Their commitment and enthusiasm over the past few months demonstrates a wonderful attitude to school life and they deserve our appreciation and praise.

The pupils who have helped out ´backstage´ and ´front stage´ also deserve a mention as they have supported and encouraged the cast with their contributions not only on the night(s) but also in rehearsals.

Here are some photos from the event. You can download a copy of the musical in our website.

VISIT FROM FORMER KING’S COLLEGE STUDENTS We had the opportunity to attend a talk with former King’s College students. They provided useful information from their universities and also personal experiences abroad as Erasmus and professional practices in the field. Many of us feel that the university will be a big step to take in order to achieve our dreams. Finally, I feel privileged to have attended a very interesting and yet so motivating talk.

BY SANDRA YEAR 13 On Wednesday 27th of March, Pablo, Miguel, Claudia, María, Julia, Manolo, Álvaro and Víctor came to give us advice for what we should do now in order to be prepared for university and the world around us. They compared the different ways of learning at school to university and what to do to succeed.

I found it very useful as they provided us with information about all the competition we will find, how to be organized, and all the tricks to enjoy but at the same time achieve good grades. In my opinion, we should do this more often because others’ experiences can inspire us in our future to help us make decisions more effectively.

BY ALBA YEAR 12

After the discussion by Pablo, Miguel, Claudia, María, Julia, Manolo, Álvaro and Víctor on Wednesday 27th of March, I feel well-informed and more prepared for the experience of university not only about the academic aspect of the experience, but the change of lifestyle we will face when entering this stage of education. It was even better to receive the talk from pupils of our own school who have studied here themselves, as they can relate to how we´re feeling right now about our exams and how to approach the decisions of higher education very soon.

Their words of wisdom have really opened my eyes to the reality of university and thanks to them, I feel more enlightened as to what I should realistically expect.

KORKY

PAUL

Korky Paul (real name Hamish Vigne Christie Paul) is an award-winning illustrator of books for children.

He was born and grew up in Harare, Zimbabwe in 1951 and now lives and works in Oxford, England.

His work, characteristically executed with bright watercolour paint and pen and ink, is recognisable by an anarchic yet detailed style and for its "wild characterisation".

His Winnie the Witch Series won the,Children's Book Award in 1987 and sold over a million copies. It has since then been published in over 10 languages.

Paul's illustrations for this are full of visual jokes and witty detail.

Our school pupils had the opportunity to meet Korky Paul personally on Friday, 10th May. The illustrator led a series of Storytelling & Portrait workshops in the library for students from Reception to Year 6 and at the end of each session he sold and signed his books.

Children had plenty of fun with the author hilarious performances and spent their day reading his Winnie the Witch books, among others’.

Pupils from Year 1 to Year 4 also took part in the Winnie the Witch colouring competition. We had fantastic entries! There was a winner per year group who chose one of Korky Paul’s books. Here are the lucky ones: • • • •

Irene - Year 1W Alessia - Year 2T Martina - Year 3M Laura - Year 4J

Congratulations to all of them.

SPORTS DAY IN KS1

This month in KS1, all the children had great fun competing in our annual Sports Day. All the children were dressed in their team colours and were eager to compete in the different races.

They all demonstrated their sporting abilities in a variety of events from javelin and long jump to the traditional egg and spoon race.

All the children finished the running event with a medal to take home.

After all the points were added up, it was the YELLOW team that came in first place with the most points. Well done if you were in yellow team!

CARTAGENA TRIP On the 21st of May 2013, we went on a trip to Cartagena to learn about the history of the city and the influences on the city´s architecture from other countries or religions. For much the whole day we were roaming the beautiful streets of Cartagena and visiting historical sites like the 2000 year old Roman theatre. We also saw one of the bomb shelters that was excavated during the Civil war. We even went to visit the Conception castle ; the view was amazing. Whilst in the castle, we saw peacocks walking around in the castle grounds. Although it was raining, it was a very interesting and historical trip. We really enjoyed it.

RACE AGAINST HUNGER

On May 30th, we supported the ´Race Against Hunger´charity. Last year we raised over €5,000 and hope to repeat that figure again this year. Younger children ran around the school premises and the older children ran a loop up to Ciudad de la luz and back to school. Once again, it was an incredibble sucess.

YEAR 7 SCIENCE

This month the Year 7 Science students became qualitative chemists, testing the effectiveness of commonly found indigestion tablets. The tablets are used to reduce the amount of acid our stomach produces after we eat; too much acid causes a pain that we refer to as “indigestion”.

Mr Dexter brought three over the counter brands of indigestion tablet into the laboratory and the pupils’ task was to design an experiment to see which brand was the best. They had to decide the apparatus to use, the chemical quantities that were sensible and a way of measuring which tablet neutralised the most acid.

So next time you have maybe had one croquette too many, you might want to consult your local Year 7 pupil...

Head Boy and Head Girl: Our Year Review This year has been full of irreplaceable experiences, outstanding achievements and most importantly, wholly enjoyable. Being an active part of the school community with the Sixth Form Committee has been very rewarding and we feel like we’ve learned a lot as a group of friends and students alike. As Head Boy and Head Girl we aspired to be visually involved with school events, as well as leading some of them, and to be approachable to all students. More than anything, we wanted to ensure that we accomplished our position as role models for younger students.

Primarily, we aimed to integrate secondary students with those in primary more than the school had ever witnessed before. We can proudly say that we achieved this aspiration. We attended regular Primary Student Council meetings, before inspiring the rest of the Sixth Form, with help from the Committee, to take an active role within primary.

Secondly, we helped raise around €9,000 for charity with events such as our revival of the Christmas Fair and Race Against Hunger. This was undoubtedly our greatest success this year as, not only did it involve the entire school, it also allowed for the Sixth Form to work together in a huge event. Organising these types of events brings the school together and maintains the “family-like” atmosphere that we cherish most at KCA, despite the fact that the school is continuing to grow.

As some of our other achievements, we implemented an effective recycling system in secondary school and organised regular house activities, mainly for KS3, during lunchtimes. In addition to these, we

continued the Buddy System which proved helpful for the younger students and enriching for the Sixth Formers involved.

Not only have we enjoyed helping the school, but have also learned and grown as young adults within the Sixth Form Committee. The skills we learnt that stood out the most were learning to delegate and communicate effectively with each other and the school as a whole. The experience of working within a team will serve us well in our futures.

We believe that we have given our best to the school and left a solid foundation for the future Head boy, Head Girl and Committee to build on. We hope that we will be remembered as being positive and active members of the school community here at the KCA, and that we were an easily approachable and welcoming Head Boy and Head Girl.

LEAVERS’ ASSEMBLY

It is always hard to say goodbye, not least when many of our Year 13 pupils have spent most of their academic career with us at King’s College. The Leavers’ Assembly allowed our most senior students the opportunity to reminisce about the good times and look back fondly on their time in school. Parents, staff, friends and family were invited to the assembly, which took place on the last day of school.
