St. Patrick's Day -English

    St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated on 17 March. 1ESO and 2ESO Bilingual students were lucky enough to have Denise in class. She's our Language Assistant and she taught us a lot about St. Patrick's Day. We talked about the traditions, the activities that are usually done and the parades. We learned that it is celebrated all over the world and we even watched a video where we saw how they dyed the Chicago River green! 

   It was great learning new vocabulary and new traditions. Seeing how green colorant is used in Irish cuisine was amazing because we had never seen green eggs, green pasta or green bread! The best part of the class was when we played a game to see which of us were more Irish and remembered more about what we had learned about St. Patrick's Day. We all did our best and we felt we all won the friendly competition. 

   We thought the best part was the game but… Can you believe that we did some traditional Irish dancing? Moving our feet to the beat of Irish music was super fun. We were very excited about St. Patrick’s Day and we could not stop saying how much we love Ireland!

Our Favourite Music

 1 ESO Bilingual students used the resource Canva to talk about their music style, what musical instruments they play,..

Canva is a nice way to show a topic, and they really liked the idea.

This is what two of the students think about the project:

"The students had to expose about the different types of music giving our opinion, also, we had to talk about our favourite singers. In general, most projects referred to reggaeton."

"I like this type of activities, because it is the best way to learn".

Here are some of their projects:

Music history

Rock n Roll

eTwinning Project: Eat Healthy, Feel Happy

 

Aim of the project:

People’s eating habits have become different due to the change of the age. The lifestyle which has become inactive causes the increase of many diseases and obesity. Especially during the pandemic period, students have become less active and consumed more junk food than usual. On the other hand, the fact that students spend long hours in the school environment pushes them to have an unhealthy nutrition. As a result, many students have diseases such as uncontrolled weight gain, obesity and diabetes. 

In this Project, we aim to provide students with healthy nutrition, regular exercises, and the habit of adequate water consumption. In order to find answers to our questions such as how nutrition is regulated in changing life conditions, what the basic nutritional requirements are, what kind of changes can be made in our lifestyle, what is the place of adequate water consumption in human health, what are the effects of healthy eating and sports habits on human psychology and how they can contribute our living standards, we will do activities with our students and their families. Thus, Our students will have information about nutritious food and sports activities for a quality and healthy life andwill be able to adapt new age in the best and healthy way with activities we’ll do.

Human resources and our tasks:

1ESO B students have carried out this project from March to May. Alberto Marcos, the PE teacher, and Teo Domínguez, from the English department, have been coordinating the project, as well as with other European schools from Turkey, Romania and Poland. 

The project was divided into two topics: food and sports. The students had to prepare healthy breakfast, a healthy recipe, a Turkish recipe or they also had to calculate their daily calories. As for sports, they had to do some training sessions at school, some exercise at home and they went on a walking tour.

They learned to create their own videos, they worked on Canva, Bitmoji and other IT tools. 

Here is a summary of the activities by means of two interactive books. 

We hope you like them!
