Recommendations Spanish Paediatrician I would very much appreciate if you can publish this article about the vision problems during the childhood written by a Spanish Paediatrician. Her health care office is close to the school and she speaks, also, few different languages, such as Spanish, English, Portuguese, French and Polish. It might be interesting for the community at the British School. Verónica de Juan, Catala s children mum: VISION PROBLEMS IN CHILDREN Healthy eyes and good vision are very important for children s development. Most of the times they don t have vision complaints, their vision is "normal" to them, and they think everyone sees the way they do. Parents and teachers can play an important role in the detection of warning symptoms and signs of eye and vision problems. Some of them are listed below: Difficulty recognizing distant objects: words in the blackboard, TV images, people s faces, bus number... Getting too close when reading or writing, ugly handwriting... Headaches after school. Abnormal alignment or movements of the eyes or head. White color of the pupil. Pain, burning or itchiness of the eyes. Extreme light sensitivity. Redness or tearing of the eyes. Family history of ocular problems. Remember that routine eye exams should be part of your child's routine medical care. Dra Celia Agüero. Pediatric Ophthalmologist.

Sports Camp Yes! We invite to our International Sports Camps in Warsaw 28 Oct Nov 2nd. The camps are organized at Warszawianka Sports Complex. There will be groups for kids aged 5 9 and 10 16 (coach to camper ratio 1:6). The exact agenda is prepared after getting surveys from parents of the signed up children and personalized to the children's needs. International Sports Camps are scheduled Monday to Friday between 9 am and 5 pm. City Sports Club s camp is a fantastic opportunity for kids to have fun during all school breaks but also to develop key sports skills. Kids will be training and playing with our best coaches from different countries. As every our coach is also an English teacher (native speaker level), the International Sports Camps provide natural and pleasant way of learning English. All the camps classes are conducted in English because many coaches and students are foreign. Every camp day starts with a delicious breakfast in Portucale restaurant. Then we begin the sports part of the day with the first training. It can be tennis, swimming, chess, football, climbing, basketball, volleyball and many more. We always ask our students and their parents about their expactations and favourite sports, therefore we can prepare the most interesting schedule for all the participants. After first training it s time for a snack and we are on our way to another sports training. After the second sports activity, the students come back for a lunch so that they can rest for a while and prepare to the final part of the day. Then it s time for one more sport and one of the other activities, which are absolutely adored by the kids. It can be laser paintball, funpark, bowling or go cart racing. To finish the day full of fun and emotions, we get back for a final snack and kids can be picked up by their parents at 5 pm. All the activities during the International Sports Camps are organized in small groups and are conducted by professional City Sports Club s coaches wih international experience. All the locations for the activities are chosen from among the best sports facilities in Warsaw. Full insurance and full board are included. Price: 999 PLN per week (5 days, Monday to Friday), 250 PLN per single day. The movies from our previous International Sports camps in Warsaw are available on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgl9g82wkig Gallery The registration is open. For every week there are 15 spots for students in a group so it is advised to book a spot in advance. Let me know if you would be interested.
Międzynarodowe Obozy Stacjonarne w Warszawie organizowane są przez City Sports Club w każdej z przerw szkolnych. Przewidziane są dla dzieci w wieku 5 9 i 10 16 lat. Plan zajęć jest dostosowywany do zapisanych dzieci dzięki ankietom wysyłanym do rodziców zapisanych na dany turnus. Są to zajęcia sportowe, prowadzone od poniedziałku do piątku, w godzinach 9:00 17:00. Nasze obozy to przede wszystkim świetna zabawa, ale także doskonalenie umiejętności sportowych pod okiem naszych najlepszych trenerów z różnych krajów (native speakers). Jest to także doskonała okazja na naturalną i przyjemną naukę angielskiego przez tzw. immersję językową. Z uwagi na uczestników i opiekunów z rożnych krajów, większość zajęć odbywa się w języku angielskim. Każdy dzień obozu rozpoczyna się pysznym śniadaniem w restauracji Portucale, a po śniadaniu przychodzi czas na pierwszą z aktywności sportowych (lekcja tenisa, pływania, squasha, golfa, wspinaczki, jazdy na nartach, koszykówki, siatkówki, gry w szachy). Następnie mamy przerwę na przekąskę i kolejne sporty. Po aktywnościach sportowych dzieci wracają na lunch, aby nabrać sił przed kolejną częścią dnia. Po lunchu planujemy zazwyczaj jeszcze jeden trening i dodatkowo jedną z uwielbianych przez dzieci atrakcji (funpark, laserowy paintball, kręgle, gokarty, skaczące szczudła). Po całym dniu wrażeń wracamy na przekąskę na teren Warszawianki, a o 17:00 rodzice mogą odbierać swoje pociechy. Wszystkie aktywności na obozie stacjonarnym prowadzone są w małych grupach, przez doświadczonych trenerów City Sports Club, na najwyższej jakości obiektach sportowych. W cenę wliczone jest pełne ubezpieczenie i wyżywienie. Cena: 999zł (tydzień); 250zł (poszczególny dzień) Filmiki z poprzednich obozów dostępne na kanale YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgl9g82wkig Gallery Limit miejsc na każdym z turnusów od poniedziałku do piątku to 15 (1 trener na 5 6 dzieci) dlatego zachęcamy do wczesnej rezerwacji miejsca na wybranym turnusie.
