Ha sido un día lleno de conversaciones significativas, miradas orgullosas y mucho aprendizaje compartido.
Gracias a todas las familias y amigos que nos acompañasteis, y a la concejal de Educación y Cultura del @ayto_las_rozas por formar parte de esta jornada tan especial.

The Year 5 PYP Exhibition: a day to share, reflect and celebrate.
After months of research, collaboration and action, our students presented their final projects from the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) to their families and the wider school community.
Each exhibition was a window into their learning journey — from selecting their central ideas to proposing actions connected to the Sustainable Development Goals.
It was a day full of meaningful conversations, proud smiles and shared learning.
Thank you to all the families and friends who joined us, and to the Councillor for Education and Culture from Las Rozas Town Hall for being part of such a special occasion.
A chapter comes to a close. This is how we live the PYP.
Congratulations, Year 5, and to all the teachers who supported them along the way!

Terminamos la semana celebrando una vez más las increíbles habilidades de oratoria de nuestros alumnos. El pasado sábado 10 de mayo, 8 estudiantes de 2º de ESO participaron en la final nacional del II Torneo de Oratoria, que se celebró en la Universidad Camilo José Cela, compitiendo con alumnos de 28 colegios de toda España.
Durante todo el día, nuestros estudiantes participaron en varias rondas de discursos y disfrutaron de una experiencia única de convivencia, culminando con una cena y fiesta de clausura para celebrar su esfuerzo y dedicación durante estos meses.
Estamos muy orgullosos de su actuación: demostraron ser grandes oradores y les felicitamos por estar entre los mejores a nivel nacional.
Y para poner la guinda a esta gran semana, nuestros alumnos tuvieron un gesto muy bonito con su profesora, llevándole un ramo de flores como agradecimiento por todo su trabajo en el proyecto de debate.

On Saturday, May 10th, eight Year 8 students took part in the national final of the 2nd Oratory Tournament held at Camilo José Cela University, competing against students from 28 schools across Spain.
Throughout the day, our students participated in several rounds of speeches and enjoyed a unique experience of camaraderie, finishing with a closing dinner and party to celebrate their hard work and dedication over the past months.
We’re very proud of their performance — they showed themselves to be excellent speakers, and we congratulate them for ranking among the best nationwide.
