Year 8 Spanish – La Comida (Food)

As part of the Year 8 unit of inquiry ‘La comida’ (food), students had the opportunity to investigate a recipe of their choice from a Spanish-speaking country and recreate it at home. Little did we know that we had so many talented chefs at SIS. Our students prepared a variety of dishes ranging from ‘churros con chocolate’, ‘natillas de leche’, ‘paella’ and ‘tortilla de patatas’ to mention a few. The Spanish Department was delighted with the response from the students, and we hope they enjoyed the process.

Featured is a video by Skye Semple, 8B1 who made ‘paella’, which definitely looks good enough to be served in a restaurant!

Year 10 Enrichment Activity

Last month, our Year 10 Students undertook an enrichment activity where they had to complete a micro-volunteering project over 2 weeks – creating an Instagram account and promoting their chosen cause or NGO. Students reported back and shared their projects in their enrichment groups. SIS students collaborated with Social Career, the NGO which connects students with volunteering opportunities – they work across several ESF schools including Island School and Discovery College.
