ABC Oscars
It was a grand event - the ABC Digital Film Oscars Ceremony was attended by an enthusiastic crowd who enjoyed the music, dance and, of course, the nominations for the best documentary, trailer, animation, advertisement, sound and independent movie. The winners received coveted Oscar statues and we look forward to seeing great work next year.
ABC Values promoted by our students and Shaka
Shaka and Dres have published a new version of the song based on ABC values. It was filmed recently to promote the Shaka and Dres concert that took place here and contains a fantastic HD audio track. Our students were recorded at the Shaka Productions studio and then filmed at the beach and other locations.
The story about how this song came to be can be found in this account by David Navarro and the 40th Anniversary video version is a great implementation of it.
As Shaka puts it: "Canción realizada por los alumnos de la ABC con la ayuda de Shaka. Es el resultado de varias semanas de trabajo junto con los y las alumnas con el objetivo de hacer una canción que refuerza los valores de la Academia."

Lower Primary Family Days
The children and teachers of Lower Primary invited their parents in for a special celebration this week. Through videos, photographs, songs and poems the children told their parents how much they were loved and appreciated. Many thanks to all of the parents who found time within their busy days to attend these celebrations. I’m sure you appreciated the children’s efforts.
Digital Oscars
The Primary school was very proud of all of our pupils who were nominated for Oscars at this week’s ceremony. Daniela Castillo, Alejandro Quesada, Carmen Reyes, Abigail Walker, Luis Gonzalez, Fiorella Salandra, David Garcia, Andrea Landaverde and Andres Figueroa were all nominated for awards which was very exciting.
Best Animation was awarded to Daniela Castillo, Alejandro Quesada and Carmen Reyes for their animated presentation on the theme of Children’s Rights.

Well done to everyone who took part and everyone who helped the children to prepare these digital presentations!

Moving up day
Next Friday, 3rd June, the children in Lower and Upper Primary will be having their moving up day. This is when the children go to spend an hour or two with the teacher that they will be with next academic year so that they can begin to get to know each other. A letter will come home about this with the children later in the week.
