We are waiting for holidays.....we have had a great year but it't time for other things to come: getting up late, going to the pool, meeting friends........
We want you to have good memories from this year so we have prepared this pin from the bilingual section for you all!!
Hope you have a great summertime!
Last Monday 31st January, to celebrate World Peace Day, the students of the bilingual section, together with other classmates from the school, have worked on this theme with the song "Imagine" by John Lennon.
We have learnt about the song, the author, how this song has become an anthem of peace worldwide and we have launched our messages of peace for the whole school and the rest of the world.

This year we had the chance to have Alejandra Alfaro as a teacher trainee in the groups of 1º ESO 15 and 3º ESO 1. She has been an amazing teacher and showed us many different educational tools that we hadn't used before in class such as Bamboozle and Quizlet.
It was especially in the group of 3º ESO 1 where she put into practice her teaching skills with a huge variety of activities that finally led to the final product shown below. We created a digital display in Augmented Reality ( with Cospaces Edu) where we described where we had been in our last holiday before the pandemic using a range of past tenses as well as the vocabulary learnt in the Didactic Unit that she had carefully planned for us. The truth is that we have missed travelling because of the pandemic but now we miss Alejandra too!!
Thanks for your hard work and good luck in the future and please feel free to come and visit us again soon!
As part of the World Book Day activities, students from 2nd ESO made some video-recommendations of books you might be interested in reading this summer. Have a good look at it , grab pencil and paper and write their suggestions down and then you'll be all set to read!!
Students from 1º ESO 15 have been doing some research on some of the most popular legends of the city of Cáceres so that they become more visible and accesible to tourists and visitors. It is evident that new technologies are greatly contributing to the digitalization of the cultural contents of our city with the installation of tourist information interactive totem in strategic areas, we must not forget our mythical legends and their importance for Cáceres. This project's objective is to come up with a digital product in AR ( Augmented Reality) using the educational tool Cospaces Edu and Merge Cubes.
During the first stage of our project, students lelanrt about researched about the legends in Spanish, translating them into English; during the second stage, students will transfer those contents onto a digital environment using a collaborative presentation first ( created with Slidesmania) and then the AR toolCospaces mentioned above.
The legends chosen by students were the following:
After a few busy days working really hard for exams and projects, our Bilingual Section students took part in a digital escape room in which they had to uncode the secret message that revealed where our cute handmade leprechaun hats were. It was really good fun!! Would you like to have a go too?
Do you know about the history behind Valentine's Day?
The day gets its name from a famous saint, but there are various stories of who he was. The popular belief about St Valentine is that he was a priest from Rome in the third century AD.
Emperor Claudius II had banned marriage because he thought married men were bad soldiers. Valentine felt this was unfair, so he broke the rules and arranged marriages in secret.When Claudius found out, Valentine was thrown in jail and sentenced to death.
There, he fell in love with the jailer's daughter and when he was taken to be killed on 14 February he sent her a love letter signed "from your Valentine".

Click on the interactive image below to find out more things about Valentine's, learn a whole lot of very lovable ( and cheesy!) vocabulary and make your own love poem based on the popular 'Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet and so are you'. You can find inspiration in the ones created by our Bilingual Section students in our creative writing workshop. Have a look at them in our 'Spread Love!' display in the gallery! We hope you'll like them!
