Field trip to the Venezuelan Embassy

On the 27th of August 2014, all the participants of the summer school program were invited to the Venezuelan Embassy. It was an interesting way to celebrate the end of the Summer School program which commenced on the 7th of July and ended on the 29th of August.

My day at the Embassy

We visited the Exhibition hall where all the heroes of the Venezuelan nation were exposed. The children made portraits of the heroes they preferred. They also watched a brief documentary about Guillermo - a freedom fighter for all the African slaves at a period when Venezuela was still under the Spanish colonial rule.

Cooling off at the pool

Yesterday was a fun day because we went to the Embassy. First Mr. Oscar explained lots of interesting stuff. Then we watched a movie but I didn’t understand it because it was in Spanish. Next we drew heroes of Venezuela. It was fun. Finally we swam. It was very, very, very FUN. Then we ate cookies and drank juice mmmmmh. It was soon time to go home.

Snack time was great!

Artistic talent was evident in the E.I.S. Middle School as students worked on drawings, paintings and pottery under the theme of Heroes and Leaders.

During our art class, the Year 5 and 6 discovered the world of Abstract Art through the eyes of Wassily Kandinsky. It inspired them to create their very own wonderful works of art that I am now sharing with you. Enjoy! Class teacher Year 5 and 6 Mrs E. Afolabi.

Year 4 pupils highly endorse the adage, "Mens sana in corpore sano."

Selina Vitho, Year 4 sums up the lesson learnt through the visits by saying the following: “I have learned that nothing good comes easy. I must work hard to achieve my dreams. I must be patient in everything I do.”

Two E.I.S. students were recognised as being ‘one of the highest calibre of entries this year’ in the Immerse Education Essay Competition.
