This past week, pupils across The British School of Gran Canaria enjoyed a range of exciting educational trips, giving them the opportunity to explore, discover and learn through real-life experiences beyond the classroom.

As an international school in Gran Canaria following the British curriculum, we believe educational visits play an important role in enriching learning and helping children make meaningful connections with their topics of study.

Nursery and Year 1 Tafira Visit Tío Isidro Farm

Our Nursery and Year 1 pupils in Tafira enjoyed a wonderful trip to Tío Isidro Farm, where they had the opportunity to explore the natural surroundings, learn about farm life and interact with animals.

The visit provided a hands-on learning experience, allowing pupils to discover more about nature, food production and the environment while enjoying a fun day outdoors with their classmates.

Nursery South Explore Mogán Garden Centre

As part of their current topic, “Things That Grow in Our Garden,” our Nursery South pupils visited the Mogán Garden Centre.

During the trip, children explored a variety of plants, flowers and gardening spaces, helping them better understand how plants grow and what they need to thrive. The visit encouraged curiosity, observation and a love of the natural world.

Year 2 Tafira Discover Poema del Mar

Meanwhile, our Year 2 pupils in Tafira visited Poema del Mar, where they deepened their learning about animals and the oceans.

Students were fascinated by the wide variety of marine life and habitats, learning more about sea creatures, ecosystems and the importance of protecting our oceans. The trip brought their classroom topic to life in an engaging and memorable way.

Learning Through Experience

These visits are a wonderful example of how learning extends beyond the classroom at The British School of Gran Canaria. Through educational trips, pupils develop curiosity, confidence and a deeper understanding of the world around them.

We would like to thank all staff involved in organising these valuable experiences and congratulate our pupils for their enthusiasm and excellent behaviour throughout the week.

Students from the Drama Club at The British School of Gran Canaria in Las Palmas recently delighted audiences with their performance of The Day the Internet Died, 🌐 a creative and engaging school play exploring what life might look like without technology.

The production combined humour, imagination and thoughtful storytelling, 🎭 giving students the opportunity to showcase their acting skills while working collaboratively as part of a full theatre production. 🌟 Families, teachers and fellow students gathered to support the performers and celebrate the hard work that took place both on and behind the stage. 👏

As an international private school in Gran Canaria following the British curriculum, 🇬🇧 the school places great importance on creative subjects and extracurricular activities that help students grow in confidence and self-expression. Drama encourages pupils to develop communication skills, teamwork and creativity — all essential elements of a well-rounded education. 📚

Throughout the rehearsal process, students demonstrated dedication and enthusiasm, ❤️‍🔥 learning not only their roles but also the value of cooperation, responsibility and perseverance. 🤝 The final performance reflected their commitment and was enjoyed by everyone in attendance. 😊

Events like this highlight how learning extends beyond the classroom at The British School of Gran Canaria, 🏫 where students are encouraged to explore their interests, develop new talents and build confidence through the performing arts. 🎭

Congratulations to all students and staff involved for making The Day the Internet Died such a memorable success. 🥳🏆

Year 7 BSGC students visited the Fortaleza de Ansite, an iconic archaeological site in Santa Lucia de Tirajana that offers a powerful window into the Spanish colonisation of Gran Canaria, and the resistance of the indigenous Canarii communities. The trip was linked to the students’ Geography of Macaronesia classwork, which explores the history, connections and landscapes of the Canary Islands, the Azores, Madeira and Cape Verde.

During the visit, students learned about the social, cultural and political significance of the Fortaleza, including its role in some of the most important events in the island’s history. Guided by staff, they reflected on how past human settlements, resistance, and cultural practices continue to shape the identity of Macaronesia today.

A key part of the trip involved discussing the importance of respecting and protecting archaeological sites. Students considered how these spaces contribute to our understanding of the past, and why safeguarding them is essential for future generations.

We are delighted to share that our Former Pupil Irene Hidalgo (2024 Graduate) has an important exhibition “Distancia de pertenecer” (Distance of Belonging) from 5^th September 2025 at the Agaete Cultural Centre, as part of the cultural programme organised by the Cabildo of Gran Canaria.

In this series, Irene invites the observer to look at the everyday from a new perspective, inhabiting spaces of calmness and uncertainty. Her work reflects a dialogue between the visual and the musical, also nurtured by her studies at the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Canarias.

We send our warmest congratulations to Irene from all at The British School of Gran Canaria. We are very proud of her achievement and hope that many from the school community are able to visit the exhibition and experience her artistic vision!
