All about learning and learning in so many different ways...

is the tonic of this edition. We are highlighting the diverse

activities our students from Preschool to Middle School have

experienced over the past month. You’ll see life skills being

reinforced and developed at the Challenge Day Camp for Middle

School students. You will also find Immersion English and Action

Camp for Elementary school students at NR. Early last month,

we were all delighted by the beautiful musical presentations

of our Preschoolers and the very special Saltimbancos musical

presentation by the Y3 students. Even more vibrant colors are

added to this edition with the pictures from the teacher-parent

conferences in Preschool and the student-led conferences in both

Elementary and Middle School. Our students are amazing and so

multi talented! Please join us and appreciate the learning-focused

community we are all part of. Enjoy!

Fazendas do Café - Y5

International Lunch - Switzerland (May)In May we celebrated Switzerland! Here are some curiosities about Swiss food and habits: the Swiss

start the day by eating a hearty breakfast even though their main meal, the Swiss equivalent of dinner,

is eaten at midday. A typical menu would bring to the table vegetable or cheese soup, followed by a

dish of poultry, beef, or fish, served with rosti in the German or French regions but with pasta in the

Italian ones. Swiss cooks had little to work with before the country became a tourist attraction. They had to employ plenty of skill and

imagination to turn the simple garden vegetables -beans, cabbages, carrots, potatoes, turnips - grains - barley, corn, millet, spelt - and

fruits - apples, berries, pears, and other fruit, fresh during the summer and preserved or dried for the winter- into appetizing meals.

Swiss food would turn into casseroles, stews and breads, often in the company of milk, cheese and butter. Our dear teacher Sonja

helped us bringing delicious recipes to make this day even more special! Enjoy the pictures!

Corrida Track & Field - 5km“Participar dessa corrida foi importante porque tive que sair um pouco do video-game e fazer coisas novas que vou ter poucas chances de fazer na vida. Para isso tive que ser thinker, balanced e risk-taker.”

Campeonato Liga Valeparaibana de Tênis de Mesa

“Participar desse campeonato foi

um desafio. Eu fui muito bem com

as emoções e me arrisquei muito,

porque estava muito tenso, mas

mesmo assim tive que refletir sobre

a técnica dos meus oponentes.”

João Pedro Souza - Y4B

The conference was a very exciting

way to know what I have done in the

1st term. I liked the way the teachers

talked to us. They told me what I

needed to improve and they talked

about my goals too.

Thiago Pessoa - Y8

The conference was really nice, because I

had never showed my mother everything

inside my folder. I liked it because she

met some teachers that she didn’t know

before. We talked a lot, I showed her

all of my grades and my goals for the

next term. My mom could talk to all the

teachers, and that was good.

Gabriela Zacharias - Y8

I thought it was a nice idea to make a

student lead the conference because I

had more freedom to show my parents

my work and to choose the teachers

they should talk to first.

Luiza Doin - Y8

“It was great this month to share some Swiss recipes with the Esfera teachers and students. Since Switzerland is a small country in

the middle of Europe, it is actually not so easy to determine which dishes are truly Swiss and which are borrowed from neighboring

nations. I invited Lillian, my mother, as our special guest and we loved the Zürigschnätzlets (chicken with white sauce), the typical

cucumber with dill salad and the potato salad, Swiss style, without the mayo, but lots of greens. The chocolate dessert and the

blackberry juice gave it a nice finishing touch. Thank you, Esfera kitchen staff, we loved it all!”
