San Mateo are famous

San Mateo children gained international fame this month, as their innovative English lessons got them into a premiership fooball magazine. The children who had been enjoying learning the beautiful game with football magazines had their photo published in Manchester United's monthly magazine. They were unfortunately beaten to being the star letter by a camel from Egypt. Next time we will bring in the llamas!

Wonderful Workshops

Staff in-service training is one of the ways to improve schools and this is just what we have done before the start of the new school year. ¨Leap into Learning¨ was a series of five workshops covering Braingym, using inter-active display, Maths. games, developing thinking skills through science activities and raising self- esteem. A combined effort using professional expertise from UK and Peru helped to implement these and they were well received by our enthusiastic team of mostly new teachers. All of this was preceeded by a day´s Retreat in the Good Shepherd Cathedral when the Bishop spoke about ¨Jesus the teacher¨´
