Mixed Up Fairy Tales - Elementary Play

On Thursday, May 19 the elementary students had their play which was a total success. The play was directed by Mrs. Moran and Mrs. Frayne, they showed how proud they were of all the students that participated in the play and also their appreciation towards the teachers that participated in the play. The play was about the creators of certain fairy tales (three little pigs, red riding hood, Goldilocks and the three bears) having a dream in which fairy tales combined. During the play the audience was very respectful and they enjoyed the play a lot. The students had a lot of fun participating in the play and they are are hoping to participate in it again next year.

All Booked Up

15 days left until the school year is over, well no, there has been a change of plans; now there are 12 days of school left! At EBV as well as all of the Maracaibo private and public schools, classes have been suspended for the last few Fridays due to “energy saving ordered by presidential decree published in Official Gazette No. 40890” (ahorro energético, ordenado por decreto presidencial 2.294 publicado en Gaceta Oficial Nº 40890), as stated by Venezuelan newspaper, La Patilla. Due to all of this, EBV has taken different actions to ensure the best for all students at EBV. On Wednesdays classes will end at 3:10 like a normal day rather than 2:10 as stated in an email sent by Dr. Rosie herself, “All Wednesdays in May and June will be full days (no early release).” In addition, final exams that would take place on the last Friday of the school year have been rescheduled. Actions have not only been taken for Secondary students but also for the ones in Elementary. For example, the 5th grade graduation has been also changed from Friday, May 10 to Thursday, May 9. Even though, there is no school on Fridays teachers are doing there best to ensure that they can accomplish all of their goals for the school year!

Undefeated (EBV) teams

They can make a goal every time you want one, they can make a basket every time you ask for it! Things are seldom what they seem so keep an eye on the great athletes of EBV! They are the middle school boys soccer and girls basketball team! The athletes traveled to Valencia from May 12 to May 14 to show off their great skills. Not only did they both win 1st place, the girls basketball team won the sportsmanship award. This was a great season for both boys and girls as they did a very good job and maintained the reputation of the school. The girls won every game, meaning that they were undefeated, while they boys won all the games except one, which they tied. The boys were divided into two teams, the yellow team and the blue team. All of the players did a great job and brought home the trophies!

Go Field Day!

June 9th here we come, Field Day is here and you didn’t mishear

At Escuela Bella Vista, it is a tradition to do an annual Field Day; every student participates in a plethora of fun games fit for everyone. There are two Field Days, an elementary and a middle school Field Day. Doctor Rosie was informed by a fellow student about our tradition and we have our Field Day! It is extremely important we don’t abuse of this privilege so we can enjoy many more years of this. STUCO has kindly volunteered to plan our Field Day so make sure to thank them too. As a student I wish you the best of luck but try to beat my team and you will lose. As STUCO representative Diego Sampieri said, “ It’ll be the best one ever”.

Fifth Graders; Shadows for a Day

  

Last Wednesday May 18, the fifth graders shadowed the 6th graders, now middle school experts. This day is called 'Shadow Day' and has been done for various years in the EBV community. It is now considered  a tradition for fifth graders. Consists of experiencing how is to be in middle school and preparing for the years to come. For the six graders, it consist of being role models and demonstrating how is the ordinary middle school life. According to Paula .M., this was an exciting day that allowed them to feel more than they are, making them feel like middle schoolers. For both grades, this is an exciting day full of activities that might seem ordinary for the 6th graders but extraordinary for the soon-to-be middle schoolers.

The Bold, The Young and The Murdered, a Successful School Play…

Thursday 26, the secondary EBV play debuted on our auditorium, starting at 6:30 pm, not failing to demonstrate how talented Middle School and High School students are. With the genre of humor and the plot about the soap opera, it was said that the play was hilarious and shocking (TAN, TAN TAAANNNN). The plot was about the actors inside a soap opera who are struggling to arrive to Hollywood finding themselves stuck on daytime TV. The crazy characters are forced to work hard to keep their show going, when it is on the verge of being cancelled. Through the play, the actors amazed the audience with their crazy characters and traumatic scenes. According to Ms. Toro and Mr. Oviol, this play is worth watching.
