An amazing Saint Patrick´s Day

We really had a great time singing, dancing and celebrating St. Patrick´s at Celia Viñas Gym last 21 March. It was an amusing experience and we had the visit of our Delegate of Education, Ms. Francisca L. Fernández and Canal Sur Television which recorded the Irish dancing that our students made.

It was a great opportunity to know about Irish culture in a funny environment where our students participated in a Quiz Contest

And the winner was…. 1ºC, although all the contestants did a great job.

We also sang the traditional Irish song “I´m a little Leprechaun” and dance.

We want to thank all the teachers who collaborate with us preparing the dancing and taking photos of the event.

We will celebrate it again, next course!!!

St Patrick´s day in Chicago and …Celia Viñas Secondary school

Today, St. Patrick´s Day (the patron of Ireland) is celebrated all over the world and one of the most famous event is in Chicago where they change its river into bright beautiful green (a little leprechaun magic) . They have been dyeing its Chicago river green for more than fifty years.

Last year we started celebrating St. Patrick´s Day and we are going to continue this tradition. Next Wednesday, we will have an Irish party with a Quiz Contest, Songs and Irish dancing.

So, celebrate St Patrick´s day with us in our gym next 21st March.

We will have fun!!!

Happy St Patrick’s Day

1 ESO students are going to celebrate St Patrick´s (the patron of Ireland) from 19^thto 23^rd March . This is a national holiday in Ireland and it is celebrated in this country and in many places all over the world because the Irish people emigrated to many different places (especially the USA and Canada) to escape from the Potato Famine (your History teacher is going to tell you about it). Ireland is famous because of its traditions, customs and people. They are very friendly people and they love music and dancing as much as we do (You will sing “ I’m a little Leprechaun” with your Music teacher and your Physical Education teacher is going to teach you how to perform the traditional Irish dancing). We are also going to learn about Irish culture and sport in the English classes and we will watch a video to visit the most interesting places in Ireland.

Here you have a video to practise Irish dancing …

… and a poster to make Irish Top Hats.

So, enjoy an Irish week at Celia Viñas Bilingual Secondary School.

International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women 25 November

Our students made some posters in English to express their opinions against Gender Violence and these slogans and drawings were placed on the walls of our building to show all the people in the street our feeling about this terrible fact. This was one of the several activities which were held in our school last 25th November. We wish a brighter future without violence and these actions encourage us to get our goal.

Halloween 2017

1 ESO students decorated our school for Halloween and organized a Food Competition. It was the perfect combination of fun and culture where we learned about this ancient tradition which comes from Celtic times and goes on in our digital world. We made a presentation to show some highlights.

We hope you enjoy it.

HALLOWEEN AND MUSIC

We listened to Danse Macabre, a piece of music of the French composer Camille Saint – Saëns. At the same time, students could watch a video about the composition with the characters and instruments that represent them. After that, they had to answer some questions and they were given the chance to take part in a quiz.
