School day of Peace

Peace is a very important part of our lives as it helps us to have more joy and happiness in the world. I think it is achieved through care and love, and should always be a main focus for all of us everyday. The world is a much better place with peace and love.

This day is celebrated on the 30th January because it is the day a very important person who understood peace died, Mohatma Ghandi. He was a very famous Indian man that during the early 1900's, fought for the rights of Indian People. He did it in a non-violent way and with peaceful protests, he treated all people equal and became a huge figure in the world as a symbol of peace, and still is today.

It was great to see so many of the students and teachers involved in such a great day and below I have put some of the pictures of the different activities towards peace.

Winter Holidays!!!

For the holidays, my family came to visit me for 2 weeks. We decided to take advantage of our location in Lucena and explore Andalusia. We rented a Fiat car and drove every day from Lucena to a new destination.

                Here is my father, mother and younger brother in Granada

The first place we went to see was Rute. We visited the Belén de Chocolate and I loved seeing the chocolate sculptures and eating lots of sweets from Rute. 

                         This was one of my favorite pastries from Rute

The following day, we visited Iberfauna, an environmental education center and wildlife reserve in Zuheros. They had a variety of animals such as Iberian wolf, fox, lynx, roe deer, and goats and donkeys. We also went on a beautiful hike called CAÑON DEL RIO BAILÓN.

       My favorite animals were Dicky the goat and Platea the donkey.

Iznájar,  was the final small town we visited and it was my favorite. We walked everywhere until we found the castle of Iznájar. The view from the castle was breathtaking and the tour was very interactive. 

We then traveled to the big cities like Sevilla, Granada, Cordoba and Malaga. My family loved Cordoba and they were impressed with the Mezquita. We also enjoyed walking and blowing bubbles in the Plaza of Espana. We walked through the Albaicín until we reached the Mirador de San Nicolás, and fell in love with the view of the Alambra and the ambience of Granada. The Picasso museum in Malaga was very interesting and my mom loves art, so she enjoyed it the most.

Ofcourse, I went to see the parade of Los Reyes Magos and loved seeing how creative the floats were.

These were my Christmas holidays and I enjoyed every second of traveling and being with my family! 

Thank you for reading :)

BILINGUAL PROJECTS FIRST TERM

Hello again and Happy New Year everyone!💫
Today I would like to show you the bilingual projects that our students in 1st ESO did on the first term. Their music teacher José Amador managed everything to get these wonderful posters done in groups. Every class was divided into 7 groups and each group was in charge of one instrument. Every project includes the instrument parts, a bit of history and materials the instrument is made of. These are some of the best for the violin, harp, cello, and French horn. And we even had an unexpected surprise: one of the students who worked on the French horn brought his own French horn and even played a few melodies to show his classmates how it works. Thanks José Pineda and congratulations to all of you!👍

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Over the last few weeks we have doing lots of work related to Christmas in English. The most important one has been the Christmas Card Contest that the English Department launches every year. These year the cards have been amazing and of course the winners did the best job. Here you can have look at the prizes and all the rest of cards:

In addition, our language assistant George recorded this special Chrismtas video that you can't miss!! He did a great job and the outcome couldn't have been better. I especially like the end. It's real Christmas spirit!!

Also, our students from FPB did this beautiful Christmas tree and the Nativity Scene made with recyclable materials and natural elements. All this together with our Christmas tree with messages in English made our hallway really beautiful and Christmassy these days. And of course we can't forget our welcoming snowman! 

And of course we couldn't not mention the decoration that our students and teachers at the Specific Classroom put up on their wall and main door. 

Finally, for our last school day we have organised a bilingual Christmas Party at the Library of our school. I'll tell you all about it as soon as I get the pictures:)

So far, so great. And I want to wish all of you a Merry Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year full of happiness, hope and peace.
