This morning, the Grade Six students of Hellenic Primary School performed the play “Magellan Sets Sail”, based on the book “The Around-the-World Voyage of Magellan and Elcano” which celebrates the 500th Anniversary of the first voyage around the world.
This fantastic historical feat took place in the 16th Century, at the time that Spain and Portugal agreed to travel West and East towards the New Worlds to be discovered.
At this time of great voyages and new discoveries, Charles V, King of Spain encouraged the initiative to find a new route to the Moluccas, the Spice Islands in the Pacific, travelling West.
Therefore, on August 10, 1519, this adventure begun and a fleet of five ships set sail from Spain, led by Captain Magellan, a Portuguese. Following three years, and approximately 85,700 km. “circumnavigating the roundness of the world”, the last surviving ship, the Victoria, returned to Seville on 8 September 1522, under the command of the Spanish Captain General Juan Sebastian Elcano.
The Embassy of Spain would like to thank Hellenic Primary School, its Head, Ms. Lisa Rickards and the Grade Six teachers for their fantastic job in this cultural collaboration!
