International Week Assembly
International Week Assembly
Once again , all Lower School has joined together for a morning full of songs , music and , most importantly , fun . Yes , we ’ re talking about the International Week Assembly . It began with an amazing water show , courtesy of Kinder 2 , but that was only the tip of the iceberg ! After that came the 5 th Grade with their incredible Poi dance -a magnificent way for others to learn about dances from a different culture ! Then came 1 st Grade , singing a marvelous song about being human and what it really means . Next , were the most admired and eldest of all the show , 6 th Graders with an awesome Greek play narrating the story of Orpheus and Euridice , and the hero ’ s courageous journey to the Underworld . Second Grade then left the whole audience awestruck with their beautiful performance of What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong and , after them , the 4 th Graders came and taught us about our own culture with a brilliant example of a Basque dance . Coming to the end came the Kinder 1 with yet another marvelous song , It ’ s a Beautiful Day , and then the awaited Pre-Kinder , who performed a song called What a Miracle with the help of Beatriz Crespo , Carmen Rita Gomeza , Elena Lamana , Sara de la Mata , Miren López , Naroa Quintana and Sara Jata Goiri -our amazing volunteers ! And last , but certainly not least , we had the 3 rd Grade with their play Mikku and the Trees , a tale from Estonia which urges everyone to take care of our marvelous environment . All in all , everyone had a wonderful morning . Congratulations to all the performers and volunteers . Great job !

Working Together Internationally
On the week of May 20 th , ASB celebrated International Week and the whole school was decorated accordingly . Flags from different countries were hung on the corridors and each class decorated the door of their homeroom with a different design .
7 th Grade For this special day , the young 7 th graders created some posters of different countries , such as Greece or Italy , where some basic words and numbers were written in both English and the country ’ s language . When they finished creating the posters , they went to Ms . Ana ’ s class and shared their knowledge of the language with the little children . These posters were later hunged on the classroom doors where they can still be seen . They all enjoyed learning about new languages and had lots of fun .
8 th Grade For International Day , the 8 th graders prepared a special activity for Ms . Becky ’ s class . They organized different stations , each representing a different country , and the five-year-olds followed a trail which took them to all of the stations . At each one , they were given typical food from that country , and were later on given an “ unknown flag ”. They had to figure out to which country that flag belonged to and that would be their next destination .
Everybody had a great time and the little kids learned a lot from the experience .
9 th Grade The 9 th graders also actively participated in this special week at ASB . This class travelled back in time until they were three years old and did very special and creative necklaces with the youngest children at school . These necklaces were made of pasta , more specifically dried macaroni , and many other decorative objects . “ It was lots of fun . I really enjoyed it ,” said Miren López ( 9 th Grade ) when asked about the activity .
