3º ESO students have made a map and projects about different themes which give us a panoramic view about Canada. You can see this display on a big panel next to 3ºESO classes. We hope you enjoy it.
Things to know about Canada: Geography and History
Inuit Graphic Art
Some Inuit artists have developed an iconic style based on Nature. Our 1º ESO students with their Arts teacher have created patterns to decorate some of the most representative animals in Canada with the reference of those Inuit artists.
Totem Poles in Canada
Our 1º ESO A students with their teacher, Amparo, have created these totem poles remembering the indigeneous tradition in Canada. These poles were made in the Northwest coast in Canada before Europeans arrived there and they represented the family’s or nation’s history. After being forgotten for many years, Canadian people are proud of showing their ancestors’ culture with these amazing monumental poles similar to the ones that our students have created.

Canada Cultural Week
During the following week, our students and teachers are going to do some activities related to our language assistant’s country, Canada. We are glad to know he will work with us next course and we will have more opportunities to know this surprising country.
We hope everybody will enjoy these activities.
Why should we visit Canada?
Canada is a wonderful country. After a few sessions of preparation and a bit of rehearsal, 3º ESO A students were able to manage to highlight the most important features of this country. Eventually, they made a video to encourage all of us to visit it.
We want to thank Nick Mosley, who is the Canadian language assistant at school this course, for helping us.
23rd April :World Books Day
Even though, we enjoy reading all the year round, we love celebrating this event preparing some activities for the World Books Day. Some of our ESO and Sixth Form students have prepared Book trailers using the Flipgrid app, other students have written and presented one chapter of their fictional biographies (designing their own covers) , others have done dramatised reading in class. and finally, we saw a theatre play at Maestro Padilla Auditorium.
Obviously, this is just one day and we want to keep on having fun with books every single moment so you will be informed of more activities through the course soon. Now, you can enjoy with some examples of 1 ESO B (book trailers : Juan Padilla, Ana del Águila del Campo, and Nazaret Díaz López ) and 3º ESO A (dramatised reading):
3 ESO A students were encouraged to carry out a piece of dramatised reading in class to bear in mind how important books are in our life. Although it is not as easy as we may think, they tried hard and discovered that reading aloud might be something interesting to enjoy.
21st March: International Day of Poetry
Last Monday 21st March,students from 1°ESO A carried out a poetry workshop to celebrate the International Day of Poetry. Eveyone could write his or her poem in an easy and creative way, just following some sort of ‘ poem recipes’! The results can be read in the High School corridor, next to the group’s classroom.
‘Poetry,the extraordinary perception of the ordinary ‘.
Nature Journaling
Our last activity collaborating with Aldea project was a Nature Journaling workshop with 1 ESO students. The main purpose of this project was to enjoy observing nature and use a diary to illustrate with words and images all their observations. These students are going to create a Nature Journal in English after visiting the Botanical Garden in Rodalquilar.
