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.

Carl Sagan said “we are made of star stuff” and that is the reason why our students have chosen this symbol to fill our school with colour and imagination.
Nowadays, we need fresh air more than ever and our sky is full of stars to bring us a healthier world. This constellation represents all our students’ wishes and feelings about a better future.
We want to thank the Arts teacher Leticia and all her students to have made up an amazing work of art which illuminates our stairwell and helps us to face our daily routine in the best spirit.
We are getting closer to the end of the year and it’s time to check some basic words you will listen soon. Use these Quizlet cards to learn and practise with them.

We, teachers, just want to dedicate this song to YOU.

The end of the term has come and we have just celebrated it with an Ancient Culture Party. Our 1 ESO students have had two days to find out the features of Ancient Greece and Rome participating in different activities . We started sharing some information on our big board which was very useful for the cultural contest which was won by 1 ESO B team.
On Thursday, students learn how to make the Greek and Roman costumes and ornaments they were going to wear on Friday. On Friday morning, students watched “Percy Jackson : Sea of Monsters” and after the film they played Seikilos Epitaph.
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.
