The British School Caracas

Oh Espanyol ⚽⚽⚽

The TBSC Varsity Boys participated in daily football training to develop their football skills and ability to work as a team during a training camp in Barcelona, Spain.

They trained with both their TBSC coach as well as professional trainers from the Espanyol Football Club and Salou Sports Academy.

The boys showed great growth both individually and as a team. They also got to experience a professional La Liga match as well as visit an adventure park and tour Barcelona.

What an experience! ✈️⚽🤩

Why is Physical Education so important? 📌

PE enhances motor skills and increases muscle strength and bone density, which in turn, helps students to engage in healthy activities outside of school. Furthermore, it improves students' learning aptitude, cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, mobility, and body composition. Students also benefit from PE by gaining agility, reaction time, balance, speed and coordination using all senses. ⛹️🤸🏃

PE also helps students' personal and social development. They work individually and in teams, developing concepts of fairness and personal and social responsibility. They take on different roles and responsibilities, including leadership, coaching and officiating. Through the range of experiences PE offers, they learn how to be effective in competitive, creative and challenging situations. 🦸🥇📈

Why is learning numbers important? 1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣

Strong number sense helps build a foundation for mathematical understanding. Focusing on number sense in the younger grades helps build the foundation necessary to compute and solve more complex problems in older grades. 💡🧮

Building a love for maths in young children begins with building an understanding of numbers. 📌🔢

Happy Birthday TBSC 🎂
72 years old today

Y12 students started the IB Diploma with a field trip in Delta del Orinoco and stayed at the 🌱🦜🦎

It was a four day adventure full of learning, connection and fun, where the students were immersed in the Warao culture, sailed in a canoe and saw dolphins, tarantulas, bats, monkeys and water hyacinths! They also learned about the Orinoco Delta’s biodiversity and culinary variety, explored the jungle, gazed at the stars and so much more. 🚣🌿🐒

They got to witness and learn first-hand about topics from subjects such as Biology, Geography, ESS, English, CAS, Business and Economics.

What a wholesome experience they had!
