Pioneers Explora outing: co-designing spaces
Pioneers Explora outing: co-designing spaces
As part of Wordshop, where learners are exploring poetry and songs, we visited the Liceu Theatre in Barcelona last Wednesday to attend a children’s opera in Catalan: La cuina d’en Rossini.
It was a wonderful opportunity for learners to discover an iconic cultural venue, experience live opera, and engage with the Catalan language in a meaningful and memorable way. They were fully immersed throughout the performance and absolutely loved the experience!
Carnival celebration
Carnival celebration
Before our Semana Blanca break, we came together for our Carnival celebration (with an unexpected last-minute change of date). Learners enjoyed crêpes, sang bingo, played musical chairs, and took part in carnival games designed and run by the learners themselves.
A big shout-out to all the families who got involved and helped make this celebration such a success. Your support and presence made the day truly special!

Adventurers Year 2 and Discoverers Year 2 start their transitioning process
For the past three years, we have accompanied our Year 2 Pioneers as they completed their primary journey at the Hub and moved on to the secondary years through a dedicated transition process.
We are very excited to share that, starting this year, we will also offer a transition process for Year 2 Adventurers and Year 2 Discoverers to support them as they move into the next programme.
To guide families through this new step, we will be offering information sessions:

Celebrating the continuity of Eco Hub
We were thrilled to receive the news last month that the Eco Hub will remain open. As a community, we took time to share how we were feeling and celebrated together with hot chocolate and juice, a simple and heartfelt moment to acknowledge what this means for all of us.

360s coming up!
As we approach the end of the cycle, we’d like to remind families that our cycle 2’s 360s are coming up soon (16-20 March). These conversations are an important moment for learners, mentors, and families to reflect together on growth, celebrate progress, and set intentions for the months ahead. You will receive an email from your child’s mentor to book a time for it. We look forward to connecting with all of you.
