Francisco Gómez Espigares, pupil of Aloha College for 13 years, visited school again to show pupils of Years 7 and 10 his new interactive programme “Audience Response Systems”.

On their trip to Málaga, Year 5 pupils enjoyed visiting the most famous sites – the Cathedral, the Fortress and the Castle – a great way to support their “Sociales” studies!

As part of their Sociales programme, Year 4 pupils visited Ronda’s streets and sites, including the Bandolero Museum and the Mondragón Palace, and were able to inspect the flora and fauna of the Ronda mountain range. Their behaviour was even better than usual!

On Thursday 13 May, Year 2 went on an educational visit to Selwo Adventure Park in Estepona. The children were very excited to see such a vast array of animals, including lions, tigers, elephants, reptiles, birds and many, many more. We particularly enjoyed being driven over the rough terrain in our trucks. We saw an exhibition of falconary and were astounded by the size of the birds of prey.

Our assembly “Giraffes can’t dance” taught us an important lesson. We have learnt that when we really like something, we can make extraordinary and fantastical things happen.

The Summer term is always the favourite for school trips. Since Easter, Junior School children have visited:- Nagüeles Nature Park (Reception)- Selwo Adventure (Y2), Marbella Town Hall and Museums then Nagüeles Park (Y3)- Malaga Castle and Cathedral (Y5) and the caves at Nerja (Y6)

Year 6 pupils are studying the Prehistoric age as part of their Sociales curriculum. To find out more about some of the most important aspects of life at that time, they visited the Nerja caves. The trip was a great success and enjoyed by pupils and teachers alike.

Year 10 student Clara Kristensen recently represented both her school and her country, Denmark, at the recent inauguration of the Dia de Europa youth project led by the mayoress of Marbella, Mrs Maria Angeles Muñoz. This project involves students from schools across Marbella, who come from a variety of European backgrounds, working together to create a ´Guia de Valores para la Juventud Europea.´

Aloha College Year 11 and Year 13 pupils are at a critical stage in their school career. IGCSE examinations started on 11 May and IB on 4 May. We congratulate our pupils on their hard work over the last few months and wish them the very best of luck in their results.

Junior School held its Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 Sports Days on 30 April and 6 May respectively.
