Interclases 2019: the great closing of the Lasallian week

Yesterday at 4 o'clock in the afternoon the opening of the interclass games began at La Salle School, in which the entire Lasallian family met to celebrate them.

All the students wore their sports uniforms with different colors to differentiate themselves. In addition, each grade (preschool to 11th grade) had a country to represent.

And to determinate the winners of theses interclasses games, each grade did their respective choreography, evaluated by juries. Within the choreographic competition there were 3 categories:

Category A: First, second, third and fourth grade

Category B: Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Grade

Category C: Eighth, ninth and tenth grade

It was a very entertaining day full of surprises, in which there was a surprise dance done by the rector, teachers and coordinators; Good news like there's no class on Monday, etc.

 P.S: I hope that next year you can attend and enjoy this activity.

Spelling Bee

Yesterday, the spelling contest organized by the Department of Foreign Language took place at the La Salle Cúcuta school during the afternoon, as part of the activities celebrating the 65th anniversary of our educational institution. This activity had main objective to encourage the development of linguistic competence in the process of acquiring English as a foreign language, through the exchange of educational experiences to enjoy a healthy competence in spelling excellence, pronunciation and vocabulary expansion.

It started at 2 pm and ended at 5 pm. Within the contest, there were 4 categories:

Category A (For first or second grade children)

Category B (For children in third, fourth or fifth grade)

Category C (For children in sixth, seventh or eighth grade)

Category D (For ninth, tenth or eleventh graders)

In this competition, students from 6 other schools were invited to participate. Within the competition, there were 3 rounds:

1. In the first round, participants will have to delegate two words given by the juries

2. In the second round, the participants will have to spell two words given by the jurors and they will retain them in their mind and then begin to spell them.

3. The third round is very similar to the second, but now it will take time.

This is a sample of what the spelling bee was:

And to the joy of our school, three of our participants in category B, C and D were the winners of their category. In addition, between these two winners is a very special companion: Valentina Mantilla Mendoza of the 10th grade B, a pride for our course.

Now, I will share a little interview I had with her:

Camila Conde: Good evening, Miss Mantilla

Camila Conde: Could you give me an interview for my blog about the Spelling Bee?

Valentina Mantilla: Hello, of course.

Camila Conde: What did you feel when you were selected to participate in the spelling bee?

Valentina Mantilla: I think it's a great responsibility that falls on me because basically I'm representing the school and especially the English department, so the image we give will be very important

Camila Conde: I think the same thing, if you were selected, it's because you deserve it.

Valentina Mantilla: Thank you, it means a lot.

Camila Conde: Okay, the next question is: does this contest give you something important in your life? Do you feel that it is fundamental in the life of a student?

Valentina Mantilla: Personally, yes. It is a small achievement in my life but sometimes small achievements encourage us to believe that we have the potential to do great things. This is important in a student's life because sometimes it is thought that what we do will never be enough

Camila Conde: I agree with you, Miss Mantilla. But I would like to ask you one last thing.

Valentina Mantilla: Good.

Camila Conde: What did you feel about winning in your category?

Valentina Mantilla: Well, at the beginning I was very nervous but I tried to relax and focus on my own and I think that if I achieved both. Then it felt very good, because I think I managed to do something that I doubted a lot

Camila Conde: Congratulations, Valentina, and thanks for the interview.

Beginning of Lasallian Week

Today, Lasallian week starts and until now everything looks very good. The 11th graders took over the teachers and coordinators, made themselves known in each classroom and did a great job as such.

In the activities scheduled for today were: a talk about the importance of sport and the beginning of an active life; and a football match between teachers and students, reinforcing the unity and integrity of our Lasallian family.

For the day of tomorrow is planned: a quiz about the life of our founder San Juan Bautista De la Salle, an ecological fashion show with recycled materials, screening of a film in classrooms, etc.

Apparently, this Lasallian week will be a success and possibly one of the best that La Salle has experienced. But these are just assumptions, I will be telling you what happens.

SPECIAL INVITATION

On Monday, May 13, the La Salle de Cúcuta school will be celebrating, celebrating its 300th anniversary. But this will not be a simple celebration that will last a day, no, this holiday will take place throughout that week and will be full of many activities.

And you may wonder, what activities are you talking about?

Well, the school normally leaves the school in charge of 11th grade students, these young people will play the role of teachers, administrators and managers. But they will also organize recreational activities for their little brothers such as: fairs, math games, picnics, fun classes, etc.

However, in this celebration we will also be commemorating the life and work of our founder San Juan Bautista de La Salle, which has acquired great importance over the years, and we can interpret this week as a small break for our teachers, who do a very good job in their teaching work, a responsibility lesson for our 11th grade students and a way to unite the entire Lasallian family.
And finally, on May 17 will be held the opening of interclass games, from 3 pm, a recreational activity and the most important, which will culminate Lasallian week. It is an open invitation, and you can assist so that you can prove the Lasallian spirit in its greatest splendor.
