EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES (26th SEPTEMBER)

The first piece of work proposed to the bilingual groups in the present academic year has been to celebrate the EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES. It took place on 26th September.

The bilingual students of 1st and 3rd of ESO, with their Art teacher's help, made up two big coloured maps where we can see the names of the countries that make up the European Union and their appropiate flags. All the students of each goup participated and the two pieces of work are really excellent. 

The bilingual students of 2nd and 4th of ESO were asked to draw a map of Europe and highlight the countries that belong to the EU (28, with the last entrance in July). To start with, all the countries had to have their names written in English. Then, as the aim of the whole project is to investigate about the great number of languages that are spoken in the EU, they had to choose basic words like "hello", "welcome", "bye" or  alike and translate them into the different languages. Once they had the same word/s in all the languages they had to link them to their suitable countries. To end up and get the best result, the students could use their imagination, so the links were done in different ways: colours of flags, thin sticks, threat, plastic bugles,bubbles, etc.

Some students did it quite well, especially considering that they had only a week to make the project.  

We can see some pictures of the exhibition at the school hall.

TALKING ABOUT THEMSELVES - 3rd ESO bilingual students

Along this year the 3rd of ESO bilingual students have been exchanging letters with a group of Greek students. To finish with the activities of the year, we thought about recording a video and this also would be a nice response to theirs.  We consider it is an excellent way of "meeting each other" and all the Spanish students were delighted with the idea. 

We hope their Greek penpals like it.

CHRIS'S FAREWELL

Thursday, 30th May, was the last day at school of our language assistant, Christopher Overluizen. He has spent the whole academic year with us and specially with the bilingual groups, and the students wanted to show their gratitude. They have prepared a special party and there were some nice details that they have organized for him. Two groups signed their names on Spanish flags and wrote affective notes. The 3rd group gave him a picture with its frame. That picture was taken the week before in one of the lessons and Chris couldn't imagine the aim of that photo. Apart from bringing some food and drinks, the 1st of ESO group brought a big cake of "Bob Esponja" with the note "BYE CHRIS"

PRESENTATIONS ABOUT RENEWABLE ENERGIES AND PAPER RECYCLING

The 3rd of ESO Bilingual students have worked on different presentations about the renewable and nonrenewable energies that we use and produce in Murcia. As in the 1st term these students visited the environmental Centre CEMACAM located in Sangonera, they were eager to learn the percentage of the consumption of the different energies at home and in general (factories, facilities, street lamps,...) Also some students did some practical work about paper recycling in our school -IES Ramón y Cajal.

These are some of the presentations:
