Sobre el final del mes, dos muy buenas noticias…

Ambas son de corte académico y provienen de M&S: una vez más, el BDS tiene un preseleccionado para el equipo nacional de debate en inglés y un team en la final de la Olimpíada Nacional de Biología.    Informa la Coordinadora de Inglés, Gladys Lesmi Dallas: "Excellent Debate news! We are happy to announce that Nicolás Rainuzzo (S6S) is among the 13 students who have obtained the highest scores, and are eligible for the national team that will participate in the World’s Schools Debating Championship 2013 to be held in Turkey. From the list of pre-selected students, a team of five members will be selected plus two reserves (...)" Congratulations to Nico, his teachers and coach! Por su parte, Patricia Doria Medina (Biology Olympics Coordinator), informa: "Nuestro equipo del nivel 2 (Juan Cruz Hortal y Agustín Serafini, ambos de S6S, y Tomás Rocchi, de S5S - ver foto, abajo) quedó clasificado para la instancia Nacional de la Olimpíada Argentina de Biología, a realizarse el 27 y 28 de septiembre en Rio Cuarto, Córdoba. Estos alumnos participaron el 10 de agosto en la instancia intercolegial (en la ORT de Almagro) y lograron un puntaje que les permitió clasificar. Este año, de 321 escuelas en competencia, solo clasificaron 61 equipos. Como las fechas de la competencia nacional coinciden con el viaje de egresados, Juan Cruz y Agustín serán remplazados por los suplentes del equipo: Agostina Dasso Martorell y Hee Jung Lee (ambos, S5S), mientras que Martina Irarrázabal  presentará un trabajo para la competencia de suplentes". Felicitaciones a todos.

(English) Creative Writing Contests. You cannot miss them!

Sporting Days

Thanks to the Olympics coming to London, the sporting calendar in 2012 has never been more exciting. With Euro 2012, Wimbledon, Tour De France, the US and British Open and then the Olympics, there is something for everyone whichever sport you follow.

With this in mind we want you to write a poem dedicated to the sport you love, whether it be rugby, gymnastics, horse riding or one of the above. Maybe you don't have a favourite and could include many sports in your poem, or perhaps you'd like to write a good luck poem to your home team. You may even wish to write about your sporting hero.

Roald Dahl Phizz-Whizzing Stories Competition

On the 13th September we celebrate the birthday of the world’s no. 1 storyteller Roald Dahl. To make this day special, we are inviting you to create your very own short story inspired by Roald Dahl. Selected writers will have their work published in the UK.

The closing date for this competition is 10th September 2012.

For more information, please consult the teachers.
