School Trip of the 1st ESO Bilingual Students with the English programme "Welcome to Young Britain".

On the 3rd week of May, some of our first of ESO bilinguals have shared experiences with other students from the secondary school "Nº 2 Santomera". They have followed an immersive course in English for 5 days, with native English teachers and instructors. Students and teachers stayed at the Youth Hostel in San Pedro del Pinatar.

The timetable they had to fullfil was well organised;
-- in the mornings they had lessons related to the 4 different UK countries,
-- after lunch they had some listening tasks,
-- then, they had plenty of time for sport activities, either at the youth hostel courts or at the beach,
-- and after some free time, they had to get ready for dinner,
-- but dinner was not the end, there was something special to finish every day. They had some fun with activities such as a fashion parade, a talent contest, the cinema night, guessing the film of the song, etc.

A really joyful week that students won't forget easily. But we have to remember that it was a week to increase the oral skills in English, and all the group did it very well. We can see the diplomas they got it on their last day
Enjoy watching the photos.

EXHIBITION FOR ST. VALENTINE

On the second week of February the bilingual students of 1st, 3rd and 4th ESO commemorated "THE WEEK OF LOVE". The groups of 1st and 3rd made some creative pieces of art for the exhibition placed at the school hall. 

Here you can have a look at their handworks. Some of them are really fantastic!! So your teacher wants to thank all of you that made an effort to hand in a good work.

STORYTELLING AT RyC- "The Rescue"

On 2nd February, the bilingual students participated in the Storytelling "The Rescue" that was directed by Alan Kennedy. In the photos you can see some students that were chosen to perform the characters of the story.

CHRISTMAS CARDS MADE BY 1ST BILINGUAL STUDENTS

The 1st ESO bilingual group participated in the activity: MAKE A CHRISTMAS CARD AND BE ORIGINAL. Most of the cards were sent to Birmingham to one of the partnership schools we work with in the ERASMUS + KA2 project "LIFE".

Some students made fantastic cards and one of them, Beatriz, was one of the winners at the Christmas Card Contest  at the school.

 

 

 

PERFORMANCE OF 3RD BILINGUAL STUDENTS AT THE MUSIC CONSERVATORY.

On the 16th of December the bilingual group of 3rd ESO participated in a regional singing festival for Christmas Carols.

 It took place at the Music Conservatory, in Cartagena Street. The students sang in the karaoke version the song ‘Last Christmas’. The item was a success and lots of fun was had by all!

EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES

On 26th September the bilingual groups celebrated the European Day of Languages. The teachers asked the pupils to make different projects. The most active group was the 3rd of ESO. 

For the English subject they had to investigate about one or two European countries. They were asked to draw the silhouette of the countries and use original paint styles. Also they had to write the name of the country, its capital and the official and 1st foreign language of each one. This last step was considered the most important, as they students realised that the vast majority of countries have "English" as their 1st foreign language. 

For Art, the students made a big European map that was painted with the countries' flags.

Both projects were pasted on glass panels at the school hall.

We are proud of your great work. Have a look at the pictures!

HALLOWEEN 2014: EXHIBITION AND CELEBRATION

The bilingual groups have been working during at least two weeks to achieve a halloween atmosphere at school.

Following the instructions of their English teachers, most of the students made little pieces of art for the exhibition at the hall. The results were excellent. You just have to look at the photos. Really great!!!

We try hard to innovate and be original every year, so this year the students have done the following:

• Pictures on cardboard on both sides to be hung on the ceiling of the hall: bats, black cats, ghosts and pumpkins.

• Coffins made from shoe boxes and especially decorated.

• Some tombstones with epitaphs on them.

• Drawings that represent the typical scenery of this dark night, as haunted houses. bats and vampires.

• Drawings of funny costumes and sentences that represent the tradition of this holiday as "trick or treat".

• A huge witch made of cardboard and another that is in the library made of foam.

•An enormous human skeleton.

• A big black ghost with little white ghosts inside.

• A  skeleton dressed as a witch. 
• Jack-or-lanterns.

• Some decorations using recycled materials. They have upcycled from rubbish and they have written down the material needed and the process to make the decorations.

• Masks, pumpkins made of clay, a spider's web,  a big white egg that represents a skull over two bones, garlands… and many other things.

And once it was the exhibition ready, 31^st October arrived. Many bilingual students dressed up and some teachers, too. You can see them and also two of the school caretakers in the photos.

And to end up this "scary" morning and have some fun, all the students and teachers went to the assembly hall to watch a movie in English- "The Corpse Bride"

It was a special day at the school.
