Recently Year 8 went on a school trip to the ‘Sur’ Newspaper office in Malaga. We all went on the bus and arrived after about an hour at a plain building. No one would have ever guessed that inside was a multimedia studio with offices for writing newspaper articles, a radio studio and a filming studio!

World Maths Day is an online competition that challenges contestants to correctly answer mental arithmetic questions at breath-taking speed. Although the competition took place this year during our Spring Half-term, a number of students in Year 7 and 8 still took part as representatives of Aloha College while on holiday. David Miladinovic from Year 8 took part once again and managed to improve his already impressive record by achieving a phenomenal second place IN THE WORLD in the 11 to 13 age group. Well done again, David!

Y8 student David Miladinovic took part in the Estepona Tennis Championships and came first in his category (Alevin). This is only one of David’s recent sporting successes. Well done, David!

On Thursday 12 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 more. We particularly enjoyed being driven over the rough terrain in our trucks. We saw an exhibition of falconry and were astounded by the size of the birds of prey.

Every year the children at Aloha College participate in this fun and exciting day.

Patricia Malagón Pérez, a year 3NOS pupil, was chosen to be a maid-of-honour in a ceremony which took place on 14 May in the Alameda Park in Marbella. Patricia will play an important part in the festivities leading up to 11 June, the day of Marbella’s patron saint, San Bernabé. We hope that Patricia and the rest of our pupils enjoy our town’s special celebrations.

70 of Aloha College’s strongest athletes travelled to Arroyo de la Miel Stadium to compete in the 2011 International Schools Athletics Championships.

On 6 May 2011 Year 1 went to the farm in Coin. There they met and fed lots of animals, planted seeds and collected lemons with which they made lemon juice. The monitors made the day special and a good time was had by all.

On Wednesday 11 May Key Stage 1 and Foundation Stage held their annual Sports Day.
