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

STORYTELLING - REVIEWS

        Today I´m going to tell you about an amazing storytelling I saw last week. The first story the performer told us was the most original and the funniest. The story was about two people, Mr and Mrs Vinegar,  who lived in a vinegar jar, . Their house was ruined by a natural disaster. After that, they got some money, but the man started changing the things he owned for new things in order to be richer and happier. Finally, he lost all his money and things. The storyteller was a young girl who sang some songs to make the performance better. She brought with her some pictures to show while she was telling the stories.
I highly recommend this performance, but for younger students because the stories were a bit chidlish. Marcos C.

      The storytelling at the library was a wonderful activity. It is the first English activity we have had this course.  It had five stories about different topics. The storyteller played and sang songs during the activity. Some stories were a little bit boring, but others were interesting and fun, like ‘Mr. and Mrs. Vinegar’, and the rolling circle. The storytelling was good and the English level was perfect for us, but I recommend it for students in the second year.

REVIEWS ON 'OLIVER TWIST' - READER

This term, 3rd B/C bilingual students read Oliver Twist . These are some of their reviews on the novel:

A review by Nuria A.

I’ve recently read a book that made me learn about the society in the 19th century. It is Oliver Twist, by Charles Dickenss.

It tells the story of Oliver, a young and innocent boy that is treated very badly by some people along the book. We can see all the people that beat him, and on the opposite side all the people that take care of him, that was the society in that age. However, he tries to find his place in the world.

This book is not the best I have ever read but I liked it. I think it is very good because you really feel sorry for Oliver. The story is very well elaborated and the characters are really well done and you can get to know all about them. But if I had to say something negative about the book, it is that there are a lot of characters and sometimes it is difficult to remember who is each one.

I highly recomend this book if you like the history of England or historic facts. It is maybe a hard book, but I think it is necessary to know that now we are very lucky, but previously children like Oliver weren’t that lucky. There is also a film on the book. I haven’t watched it, though I would like to.

A review by MARÍA R.

Published in 1837, Charles Dickens´ “Oliver Twist” continues to be a literature classic that represents the incredibly massive social differences of 19th-century London realistically, as its genre is commonly associated with Victorian social realism.

The novel takes place in Victorian London, both the rich part and the most disadvantaged part. The plot revolves around Oliver Twist, a poor orphan that goes through a lot of misery until he learns the truth about his identity and, how, surprisingly, he ends up having an extremely happy ending.

In my opinion, this novel will be the perfect fit for you if you are into history, as it shows clearly the social context of that time and, as I did, you can find interesting seeing how everything has changed.

GEOGRAPHY, PE and ENGLISH PROJECT ON EU

THE EUROPEAN UNION- GEOGRAPHY

This year the 3rd ESO Bilingual Geography students have once again carried out the project on the European Union. In groups of 4 and in collaboration with the departments of Physical Education and English, they made an informative dossier on the origin, history and current affairs of the EU and a board game to continue learning about these aspects. Would you like to play a game?




ALTERNATIVE SPORTS IN THE EU - P.E.

The 3rd E.S.O. B-C group has developed a group work on alternative sports from different European countries (as part of the interdisciplinary project with Geography and English).

At first, they looked for information about a multitude of different sports, not very recognized internationally, to choose one of them all.
After choosing the sport, they looked for basic information about it. Then, they had to explain it in a video recorded by themselves, including: origin and evolution, explanation of the sport, main rules, countries where it is played and recognized athletes.

As an example, we present this video.

      

EUROPEAN UNION COUNTRIES: LANDMARKS & SPORTS- ENGLISH

The different groups of students chose three landmarks for each European capital (seven capitals for each group) and researched information for one of them. In addition, they chose an athlete for each country and presented their achievements. With this information, they created a PowerPoint presentation that they later presented to the rest of the students in class. Here is an example of one of these Ppoints: EU:LANDMARKS & SPORTS                                           

Reviews.

Halloween Celebration + THE CANTERVILLE GHOST reader.

Colaborative project between EPVA and English. Coinciding with the celebration of Halloween and the reading of the reader 'The Canterville Ghost', by Oscar Wilde, the students carried out an illustration project based on a scene suggested by the reading of the book.








 (Friday 27th October)

Book Review: 'The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole'

 3rd Term reading for 4th  ESO Bilingual students. Here are some reviews:


"In my opinion, Adrian Mole is quite a good book because the story of the life of the main character, that is Adrian Mole. reflects the lifestyle during the 60s in England, the society, the economical and political situation. It is  a diary where Adrian, aged 14, writes about his awful lot of  problems and it is really fun to read. That is why I would recommend it to everybody above fourteen years old." 
 A.M.M.

"I liked the book. But, to be honest, it is a bit difficult to read because it is a diary so the sentences are really short and sometimes you don’t have all the information that you would like to have ( it is adapted from the original book). The actions happen really fast and suddenly the plot jumps from one thing to another. I would recommend it to people of my age. "      I.A.A
