Celia Viñas Bilingual Learning Site
Remember, one of the best ways to enjoy learning a new language is watching films. Why don´t you start watching one of your favourite films again, but …in English?. Harry Potter, The Beauty and the Beast, Avengers, Matilda, The Lord of the Rings,etc.
Let´s try!
All content from The Lord of the Rings is property of New Line Cinema and is not intended for commercial use.
From the 8th to 12th April , Celia Viñas bilingual school turned into a medieval court where our 2ESO students experienced how life was in Middle Ages. They attended to different workshops (Calligraphy organized by the Latin Department, Alchemy by the Chemistry Department, Soap and Candle Making by the Natural Science Department and the History of Information from medieval copists to 3-D printing made by the Computer Department) and two exhibitions (stained glass and sheet music) by the Arts and Music Departments. On the 12th, there were films, medieval games and a homage ceremony(organized by the Physical Education, History and English Departments) .
We really enjoyed all the performances and had a great time thanks to the collaboration among students and teachers.
From 17th to 24 April ,a group of 35 ESO students stayed in York to attend classes and visit some of the most beautiful places in England. They lived with English host families to learn about their culture and practise their language. They also had time to visit York Minster, Liverpool and Scarbrough.
A great experience we would like to have again in the future.

On 15th February, we could see about 90 students running upwards and downwards our stairs tracking for clues.
What was it going on? Yes, you got it.
They were participating in our Historical Heritage Tour. This was a gymkhana organized by the Bilingual programme to make our students learn about places, curiosities and facts at Celia Viñas High School.
2 ESO students, divided in groups of 6, rushed and sprinted for 3 hours to be the first participants to answer all the questions on time. They went through corridors,the well courtyard,the library, the assembly hall, the laboratories,the chapel,etc like characters in Hogwarts to reach the precious treasures.
A historical tour to know about the amazing place where we learn, work and live everyday. All the teachers in the bilingual programme participated and we also had the great help of Ana Ortiz Torres and other students who are doing their teaching internships in our school.
Thanks to all of them and the 2 ESO students who took part in this activity!!!
Ps.- A final task for our gymkhana: our poster is a version of a very famous poster which illustrated a record and a film of the most important British Band. Who are they? Which is the title of this record?.
As every year, students of 1st and 2nd o f ESO participated in our traditional Christmas cards exhibition. Most of them worked really hard and made beautiful cards!!
The first term is over and the second term is about to begin!
Our students worked a lot in art classes, and here is a small example of some of the best drawings they did. You can find them on the board of the drawing class, just at the right of the door. These drawings will be replaced by new ones that the students make.
These are the songs that we are going to prepare for Christmas:
1º ESO A
Jingle Bells Rock
1º ESO B
Santa Claus is coming to town
1º ESO C
Last Christmas
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!
