Just before semana blanca, all students in years 7, 8 and 9 went to the cinema to see this year’s ‘mejor película’ – Campeones. For some, it was their 4th time seeing this important movie and they still haven’t had enough. On our return to school, we were extremely fortunate to be visited by Álvaro Longoria, the film’s producer who also has his children at ISM. Álvaro gave us a wonderful talk about the journey to get the movie made and then the students had an opportunity to ask questions and get to hold a real Goya.

Many thanks to Álvaro for giving up his time to speak to us and answer so many questions, and to Conchita Sande for organising the day.

Congratulations to the Year 6/7 Basketball team who gained 3rd place in the Alevin International Schools of Madrid competition yesterday.

Mr Danny and Mr O’Riordan were impressed with how well they played together considering they don’t get much opportunity to practise as a team.

Just before Christmas, the British Ambassador visited ISM to give out a range of certificates including the Cambridge Outstanding Learner Awards. We would like to thank the Ambassador for his time and congratulate the students once again for their fantastic achievements.
