17th March : St Patrick’s Day
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
8 March 2021
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.

1º ESO Geography: Landscapes in extreme and temperate climates
1º ESO students have made up an exhibition about a variety of projects showing the different climates and its specific landscapes. You can have a look at all these wonderful works on the board next to the Geography and History department.
Don’t lose the opportunity to learn and enjoy these visual projects!
A sky full of stars
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.

International day against gender violence
On 25th November, there are campaigns all over the world to raise awareness about one of the biggest problems we suffer nowadays: Gender Violence.
