This year’s Math and Science Week (November 21-25, 2011) in photos. The theme was “Math-Sci-Ya Ka: Learning Math and Science is Fun!”

And what an interesting week it was! Students learned Math and Science in a whole new light. The week’s main attraction was the Math and Science Exhibit, prepared by the teachers. Facts, trivia, and questions were also posted around the campus for the students to solve and read.

During their lunch breaks, the teachers also prepared games and contests. For Monday, Grades 1-3 had “The Boat is Sinking.” Tuesday, Grades 4-6 and years 1 and 2 had a Math Bingo. Years 3 and 4 had a CheMath Bingo.

For Wednesday, the teachers held a Slogan Making Contest, a Tangram challenge, a Scavenger’s Hunt (high school) and Snakes and Ladders (Grades 4-6).

Thursday, Grades 1-3 played “Face Value.” It was also the high school students’ turn to play Snakes and Ladders. Grade 4-6 enjoyed an Math-and-Science-themed Amazing Race.

For Friday, there were no classes from 9am onward. Grades 1-3 watched “Meet the Robinsons” while Grades 4-6 had a Math-Science Quiz Bee. High school students also participated in separate Math-Science quiz bees.

For the first time again PPS history, the teachers organized the “Math-Sci-Ya Ka Fair,” complete with games, a marriage booth, jail booth, dj’s booth, and many more.

Let us not forget to mention the much-prepared jingle contest. The students worked hard for this event!

After the previous day’s English and HEKASI Week performances and camping activities, one would think that the PPS family would be completely drained and totally incapable of more vigorous activities. But no! Here’s a sneak peek of this year’s Family Day events.

The day’s previous activities did not drain the energies of those who participated in PPS’ annual school event.

The fun and games also provided non-stop enjoyment to the teachers and students!

Unlike last year, PPS celebrated the English and HEKASI Week in unison with the United Nations celebrations.

Throughout October 24-28, 2011, the theme for this year’s English and Hekasi Week was “It’s a Small World, After All!” For one week, the students watched various films, participated in poster-making, poem-writing and essay-writing contests. The final performances on October 28 consisted of various singing, dancing, interpretative dances, movie excerpts, skits, plays and even speech chorale performances by the students.

Last year, PPS students showcased their unique God-given talents and competed to be the champion. Now, this time, the show was comprised of only singing talents,

And what a show itwas indeed!

Plenty of students transformed as they stepped on the stage and sang to their hearts’ content.

The competition was tough. Nevertheless, it was a huge success for the students, teachers, parents, and spectators.

Because there would be no professional engineers, doctors, nurses, and government employees if there were no teachers, El Nido town decided to make October 5, 2011, a special day for the special people of our community.

World Teachers’ Day was celebrated last Wednesday, October 5 at the town Municipal Covered Court. The program first started with a parade around the town proper, then the ceremony was held at the court. The first half of the program consisted of special numbers by teachers of the different schools of El Nido, public and private. The theme was “My Teacher, My Hero.”

Students also participated in the contests.

Two students, Dave D. Didal (fourth year high school) won first place in the Essay Writing Contest and Jovet C. Rosento (second year high school) won first place in the Painting Contest.

The second half of the program was the Cultural Night, this time the teachers were the contestants. PPS teachers also won first place after performing “Sayaw Sinalampati.”
