All details regarding the Opening Ceremony and cultural dress days have been outlined in the weekly ISPS newsletter. We do ask that our students take part in all the events that will be held throughout the week. In classrooms, teachers will have discussions on the United Nation theme: Water Cooperation. We know that water is a precious commodity and in many countries a regular supply of water to homes just does not exist. Primary Years Programme (PYP) PYP Workshop Our two-day workshop held last week was successful, and the majority of our teachers have incorporated strategies and tools in their delivery of lessons. Additionally, at one of our team (specialists and classroom teachers) meetings this week, teachers were able to collaborate on three PYP grade level units using one of the strateOur art teachers have decided to do a project on plastic gies.

Elementary Principal CALENDAR WordMasters Challenge is an exercise in critical thinking, which first encourages students to become familiar with a set of interesting new words (sometimes harder than grade level), and then challenges them to use those words to complete analogies expressing various kinds of logical relationships. Parents can help students learn the meanings of their words and consider possible analogies based on these words.

CONFIDENCE EXCELLENCE INTEGRITY 2 Friday 19th October, 2012 THE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF PORT OF SPAIN International Week at ISPS ISPS Celebrates the UN Year of Water Cooperation 2013 “I encourage UNESCO’s Member States to take full advantage of this opportunity, and to assist in ensuring that this particular United Nations Year is a successful and memorable 365-day event.” Irina Bokova Director-General, UNESCO In December 2010, the United Nations General Assembly declared 2013 as the United Nations International Year of Water Cooperation. In the resolution the General Assembly expresses its concern by the slow and uneven progress in achieving the goal of halving the proportion of the population without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation, while global climate change and other challenges seriously affect water quantity and quality. UN-Water has called upon UNESCO to lead the 2013 United Nations International Year on Water Cooperation, because of the Organization’s unique multidisciplinary approach which blends the natural and social sciences, education, culture and communication. Given the intrinsic nature of water as a transversal and universal element, the United Nations International Year on Water Cooperation naturally would embrace and touch upon all these aspects. What is Water Cooperation? The resolution emphasizes that water is critical for sustainable development, including environmental integrity and the eradication of poverty and hunger, and is indispensable for human health and well-being, and central to achieving the Millennium Development Goals. The objective of this International Year is to raise awareness, both on the potential for increased cooperation, and on the challenges facing water management in light of the increase in demand for water access, allocation and services. The Year will highlight the history of successful water cooperation initiatives, as well as identify burning issues on water education, water diplomacy, trans-boundary water management, financing cooperation, national/international legal frameworks, VOLUME 19, ISSUE #9 and the linkages with the Millennium Development Goals. It also will provide an opportunity to capitalize on the momentum created at the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20), and to support the formulation of new objectives that will contribute towards developing water resources that are truly sustainable Here at ISPS this message from the United Nations will be highlighted at the Opening Ceremony of our International Week celebrations on Monday October 22th at 12:45 in the school’s gymnasium. All of our community is invited to be a part of this special occasion. Our community is invited to wear traditional wear on this day and we all especially look forward to the Parade of ISPS Nations as we start this highly anticipated week. Also mark your diaries and purchase your tickets early for the culminating celebrations, the PTO Food Festival on Saturday 27th October. It promises to be once again, an event to remember! J.

It is also presence of a movie industry outside Hollywood. called Tortilla de Patata or Potato Omelet. Bars and cafés serve it as a tapa or appetizer, but it is often served as a light dinner in Spanish homes. Because it is easy to transport, the Spanish make bocadillos or sandwiches by placing a piece between two pieces of a baguette. Ingredients: 6-7 medium potatoes, peeled 1 whole yellow onion 5-6 large eggs 2-3 cups of olive oil for pan frying Salt to taste Mayito and his friend Carlitos. Spanish 4 researched and presented PowerPoint presentations on famous Latinos like Gustavo Dudamel, Isabel Allende, Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Fidel Castro. Not only did Peel and cut the potatoes. Slice the potato in pieces approximately 1/8" thick. Peel and chop the onion into 1/4" pieces. Put potatoes and onions into a bowl and mix them together. Salt the mixture. In a large, heavy, non-stick frying pan, heat the olive oil on medium high heat. Carefully place the potato and onion mixture into the frying pan, spreading them evenly over the surface. The oil should almost cover the potatoes. Leave in pan until the potatoes are cooked. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon or spatula and allow oil to drain.

P our in the potato onion mixture. Mix together with a large spoon. Pour 1-2 Tbsp of olive oil into a small, non-stick frying pan (aprox. 9-10”) and heat on medium heat. When hot, stir the potato onion mixture once more and “pour” into the pan and spread out evenly. Allow the egg to cook around the edges. When the mixture has browned on the bottom, you are ready to turn it over to cook the other side. Take the frying pan to a sink. Place a large dinner plate (12”) upside down over the frying pan. With one hand on the frying pan handle and the other on top of the plate to hold it steady, quickly turn the frying pan over and the omelet will “fall” onto the plate. Place the frying pan back on the range and put just enough oil to cover the bottom and sides of the pan. Let the pan warm for 30 seconds or so. Now slide the omelet into the frying pan. Use the spatula to shape the sides of the omelet. By Adrienne De Boucher ICT Coordinator What is Twitter? Twitter is a free service that lets you keep in touch with the entire world through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: “What are you doing?” Let the omelet cook for 3-4 minutes. Turn the heat off and let the tortilla sit in the pan for 2 minutes. Slide the omelet onto a plate to serve. ¡Buen Provecho!
