25 November: International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women
Lots of actions are celebrated around the world on 25 November to remind us to keep on fighting against this crime.
Last Friday 23rd November, our students knew about this serious problem looking at exhibitions, listening to talks and participating in other activities which made them realize that this crime can happen to anyone.
Students analize in a critical way lots of songs and sayings which show an agressive behaviour against women and girls. If we want to get an equal and developed world, we must put an end to this gender violence.and this generation is determined to achieve it.

Halloween 2018
We welcomed this course with a Halloween party last Wednesday, 31st October.We started the previous week telling our students about the history of Halloween, auditions of famous Halloween songs in the class of Music and the historical relevance of this event in most of English-speaking countries. Then, we watched a famous horror comedy film (“Beetlejuice” by Tim Burton) and we listened to some songs sung by our language assistant Clark Williams.
At midday, we had a spooky breakfast. As you can see in the photographs, our students made delicious and surprising Halloween cakes.
We also had a Halloween contest and a ghost walk through a haunted corridor in the unknown parts of our building.
We really had a great time!

TASK: Perform Cuneiform and hieroglyphic writing
19-20th June 2018: Ancient Greece and Rome Activities
We are going to spend the following two days participating in different activities related to Ancient Greece and Rome. They have been made up by all the departments which work with 1ºESO and the collaboration of the department of Greek and Latin. We started decorating the hall of our secondary schools with posters, a big panel, sculptures, etc with images of this topic. We would like to thank Salvador, our maintenance manager, for all his help not only in this activity but in all the decorations we have made during this course. You can see the result.
Then, we have seen “Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The lightning thief” a teenagers story based on Greek Mythology which mixes action and fun.
After the film, the students have taken parts in four different workshops:
Greek and Roman Costumes
Greek writing
Making of Laurel wreaths
Caricatures of Greek and Roman characters
And at the end of the day, we have started our Olympic Games in the gym which we will finish on 20th June. And, tomorrow, we will all get dressed with Greek and Roman costumes and celebrate a traditional party.
This is the Spanish leaflet where we show all the activities in detail we are going to do during these end of the term days. We hope everybody will join us celebrating these ancient cultures in amusing ways.
