What is mining?
Our board is growing with content and images from this incredible country in Oceania , one of the largest in the world (the sixth one), fact that we can see with the comparison between the maps of Australia and Europe that our students have overlapped to show it in an effective visual way (as we can see in the last photo). Well done!!!.
Next 23rd April, World Book Day will be celebrated in different parts of the world. This date reminds us of the day two great authors , Shakespeare and Cervantes, died and calls our attention towards the importance of books in our learning and development.
We have prepared some activities to celebrate this day during this week and the following one like making bookmarks, literature contests, speaking about our favourite titles and … reading (which is always a pleasure).

We forgot to show all the activities and the exhibition celebrated about Paleolithic among 1º ESO students and that is the reason of this entry with some images of the activities and the works of our students. We want to thank all the participants for their excellent behaviour following all COVID recommendations due to the collaboration of different departments.
Our 2ºESO students have been building a medieval city in their History classes and they want to show us their models with these photos of some of their creations.
Our students are creating their own charities in class and to have a clear reference they have had a good example: the British charity, Comic Relief.
Two famous historical characters invite you to participate in this current edition ….

This year, it is impossible to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day as we used to do it, singing and dancing ( like Irish people do ) but we don’t want to forget this important day for those who admire and respect Irish culture.
If you want to know something about this day, you can have a look at three presentations (one of them made by Ashley,our American language assistant in 2017-2018 course).
And finally, we can listen to a song by the most famous Irish Band, U2.
Our students have made a huge poster to show information about this festivity
We will discuss this topic in our classes of English and we will watch some TED- ed videos two videos about the history of women’s rights and seven videos about scientists, artists,politicians,etc. to introduce the role of women in different societies and cultures. At the end, we will read a short comic which illustrates the birth of this celebration.
If you want to watch these videos and read the comic you can do it here, in your blog.
