This year, we want to focus on an unusual way of celebrating this festivity. Most of us relate this day to the expression of love to someone else but we usually find evidence of wrong behaviours in the name of love. That is the reason why we have planned some activities on this day which is celebrated worldwide.

First of all, with the help of the Department of Equality and its coordinator Leticia, our students are going to discuss about different english expressions which have become familiar through Internet (“ghosting, benching,stalking,etc) to know what they really mean and try to give advice to achieve a responsible affective life. They will also explain their meaning illustrating some of these words in posters which will be exhibited in the corridors.

Our colleague Amparo and the English Department have prepared an activity using the song “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus to encourage our students to learn to love themselves and to avoid the dependence we sometimes associate with this feeling.

And finally, we will go back to the classics reading some love poems (Sonnet 18 by Shakespeare,Roses are red” by Edmund Spence,etc)

After receiving information about this topic in their Biology classes, 1 ESO students have been making projects about climate change and how to stop its consequences. They have been helped in this task by our language assistants, Jazmin Robles and Nick Mosley. All the projects will be exhibited in their classroom and in the corridor next to their classes.

1° Bachillerato students were asked to make a video about what they usually do during winter holidays,we called it that way because of the different religions/ beliefs our students have.
The video had to be made in pairs because they were able to exchange ideas and performing could be more fun too.
They have enjoyed carrying out this assignment and all of them have said to feel more confident speaking English , which was one of our aims.

1 and 2 IB students have made up posters and leaflets in English and French to send clear messages against gender violence . We hope actions like these ones can raise awareness about this problem which affects to so many people worldwide. This activity is made with the collaboration of the Equality and Diversity programme which has also planned different events to fight against gender-based violence.

Last 17 November, 1 IB students showed the most relevant places in Almería (the Cathedral, the shelters, Alcazaba, the old square, etc) to 4 ESO students. IB students performed the roles of members of travel agencies and described these places and answered the students´ questions about anecdotes and events in those iconic places. It was an interesting activity to learn more about our city and share knowledge and experiences

.

This activity was done by 2º ESO B and C and 2º Bach A students to celebrate Halloween in a funny and scary way: reading horror stories and poems. The students had fun while making them and they encourage all the students who want to participate to read one of these scary scrolls next to the Engllish Department.
