SCHOOL TRIP TO CEMACAM

The three bilingual groups have gone on 14th November to Sangonera to the Environmental Centre called CEMACAM.


As everybody can see through the pictures we participated in three different activities:
The first one: A lecture guided by Antonio Soler that presented the renewable energies that we use and the electricity, gas or coal consumption nowadays.
For the other two activities the students were separated into two groups:
One group went for a walk along the centre to see the surroundings of the place and listened to the explanation of why the centre was built on that location. We met young people that were living there as they were doing environmental courses, Also we saw the model of the Centre and lastly we went to see the building where all the bedrooms are.
Meanwhile the other group gathered around a big table and the guide showed them different devices that work with tiny solar panels, for example a helicopter, cars, meccanos, a fan in a cap, a gull, etc. And something very strange for us - a solar cooker. It wasn't a perfect sunny day but we got some sun rays, therefore we saw how popcorns were made.

HOW HAVE WE CELEBRATED HALLOWEEN AT SCHOOL?

These were the arrangement: For two weeks the three bilingual groups and 4th ESO A have been working on different projects to decorate the hall, the corridors and the main doors on the ground floor.

All the students were interested in the works of art they were doing as this festivity is relatively new and they say it’s a great fun.

The results were excellent. You just have to look at the photos. Really fantastic!!!



If we pay attention we can see different parts of the exhibition:
• two graveyards with many tombstones and the epitaphs on them.

• black silhouettes that represent typical animals and things of the day: black cats, owls, bats, pumpkins, ghosts and witches,

• drawings that represent the typical scenery of this dark night, such as haunted houses and ghosts,

• two big ghosts filled with little ones and tombstones that contain sentences of this time of ghosts and terror,

• the covers of horror books and films,

• a human skeleton,
• a coffin,

• masks, pumpkins … and many other things.

And once the exhibition was ready, the 31st of October arrived. Most of the students dressed up and so did some of their teachers. You can see the disguises in the photos. Aren’t they fantastic?

And to celebrate Halloween, we all went to the school´s biggest room to participate in the activities prepared: power point presentations, conversations, and the reading of a ghost story: The White Lady. To finish with, we watched a film with subtitles “Little Red Riding Hood”

As you see we lived Halloween intensly. And you?
