For working parents, childcare during the holidays can be a problem. Many families get a hand from grandparents and other relatives, while others arrange holiday childcare or book children in for summer activity programmes.
You may want to think about finding a childminder or looking at other childcare options for the holidays.
Here you have some ideas to involve your children in. Some ideas for children's outings are museums and galleries have on-going activities for children and during the holidays many run special events or programmes.
Days out at the beach, in the country, or visiting heritage sites, can be affordable and enjoyable for both adults and children. Trips to amusement parks and adventure playgrounds could be another option to consider during the holidays.
Just organize a schedule and let your children to enjoy their holidays.
I wish my students a very relaxing time. Enjoy the most of it guys!

This week St. George College is organizing a "Solidarity Week". Its aim is to raise funds to build schools in the South of Peru after a terrible earthquake hit the area.
This project started on Wednesday and this day was called "Jeans Day", all the members of the school, including administrative staff, teacher and students put on their best jeans and showed them off on this day.
Today (Thursday) we had the "Extravagant Day" and we were allowed to wear whatever we wanted to. Amazing clothing designs came out and all the students dressed up with a unique combination of colours and accesories.
Tomorrow we are having a "Hat Day", and we will choose a winner. The best hat will have a prize!
Now I leave you with some of the pictures I took this week and remember that all this is for a noble cause... THE SOUTH OF PERU NEEDS US!!!

We were learning about continents and oceans and using the smart board was a fantastic way of getting students involved with the class, they love interating with technology and making use of it.
Students had to put the continents is order and to write the name of the oceans in the correct location.
Students also learnt, in details, about South America and the countries that form this continent. They labeled the shapes of the countries and wrote down the name of their capitals.
Let me show you a little presentation of sixth graders using the smart board in Geography class.

Following to the successful Megan Hicks` storytelling students from Middle Sixth were motivated to become storytellers for one day.
They looked on the Internet how to create more orginami shapes, and they got ready for their performances. Students had to practice folding and folding pieces of paper and they also had to create or adapt stories until they were ready.
The final day came, and this is one of the great performances we experienced on that day...
