DIWALI

 Diwali is the most important festival of the year in India, a time to celebrate the triumph of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance and good over evil. Celebrated by more than a billion people of various faiths across India and its diaspora, the five days of Diwali are characterised by prayers, feasting, fireworks, family gatherings and donations. For some, Diwali also marks the beginning of a new year.

But Diwali is better known as the festival of lights. It derives from the Sanskrit dipavali, meaning 'string of lights', and is famous for the glowing clay lamps that are placed in front of the houses of those celebrating the festival.

The dates of the festival are based on the Hindu lunar calendar, which marks each month according to the time it takes for the moon to orbit the earth. Diwali begins just before the arrival of a new moon between the Hindu months of asvina and kartika, which normally coincide with the Gregorian calendar months of October or November. In 2022, Diwali began on 24 October and ends on 28 October.

Anisha, our language assisstant, is from India and she prepared some activities and worskhops to show us the importance of this festival.

El Diwali es el festival más importante del año en la India, un periodo para celebrar el triunfo de la luz sobre la oscuridad, del saber sobre la ignorancia y del bien sobre el mal. Los cinco días del Diwali, celebrado por más de mil millones de personas de diversos credos en toda la India y en su diáspora, se caracterizan por los rezos, los banquetes, los fuegos artificiales, las reuniones familiares y los donativos. Para algunos, el Diwali también marca el comienzo de un nuevo año.

Pero el Diwali es más conocido como el festival de las luces. Deriva del sánscrito dipavali, que significa «hilera de luces», y es famoso por las relucientes lámparas de arcilla que se colocan frente a las casas de quienes celebran esta fiesta.

Las fechas de este festival se basan en el calendario lunar hindú, que marca cada mes según el tiempo que tarda la Luna en orbitar alrededor de la Tierra. El Diwali comienza justo antes de la llegada de una luna nueva entre los meses hindúes de asvina y kartika, que normalmente coinciden con los meses de octubre o noviembre del calendario gregoriano. En 2022, el Diwali empezó el 24 de octubre y acaba el 28 de octubre.

Anisha, nuestra auxiliar de conversación, es de la India y preparó algunas actividades y talleres para mostrarnos la importancia de este festival.

MATHS CLASSES

 

   Here you are two interesting videos about the last Maths classes Lara had with her students from 1ºESO.

    Hope you like them!!!

 

TREASURE HUNT

Treasure hunt

After measuring the school, we drew and digitised the plan of the school.

Once the plan was ready, we went out into the playground and held an orienteering gymkhana. 

The pupils were divided into groups to hide clues and mark them on the map. Then they exchanged maps and the search began.

We had a great time!

Búsqueda del tesoro

Tras medir el instituto,hemos dibujado y digitalizado el plano del centro.

Una vez listo el plano hemos salido al patio y hemos realizado una gimkana de orientación. 

Los alumnos divididos por grupos escondían pistas y las marcaban en el plano. Después intercambiaban planos y comenzaba la búsqueda.

¡Lo hemos pasado genial!

MEASURING

 The 1st ESO students have gone out to the playground in Maths class.

We have introduced the contents of the 3rd evaluation in a different way.... We are going to study units of measurement, plans, scales, etc. and we have started practising.

They have had to measure different spaces in the school and draw them to scale. 

They have been very motivated and interested and have learned a lot. 

We are missing the second part.... we will have to digitalise our work and the result will be used in Physical Education class for orientation practice.

 Los alumnos de 1º ESO han salido al patio en clase de Matemáticas.

Hemos introducido los contenidos de la 3ª evaluación de una forma diferente....vamos a estudiar unidades de medida, planos, escalas, etc y hemos empezado practicando.

Han tenido que medir distintos espacios del centro y dibujarlos a escala. 

Han estado muy motivados e interesados y han aprendido un montón. 

Nos falta la segunda parte....tendremos que digitalizar después nuestro trabajo y el resultado lo utilizarán en clase de Educación Física para hacer prácticas de orientación.

MEET AND GREET CÁCERES CIUDAD DE BALONCESTO

 

On May 6th, the students of 1st and 2nd PMAR and 4th ESO academic attended a training session of Cáceres Ciudad de Baloncesto.

 At the end of the training session we had a small meeting with the players who came to chat with us. The Bilingual Section students took the opportunity to practice English in a real communicative situation with the international players.

 Thank you very much to the club for giving us this opportunity to get closer to this popular sport in our city as well as to the players.

                                         Here you are the podcast we created after the activity!!. 

                                                   Click  to go to "Raditell"  -- PODCAST

                                                       

                                                                         

LEARNING MATHS

 

   Today we have learnt and practise decimal metric system with Plicker.

   Lara, thanks for teaching us Maths in such a cool and practical way!!!!

                                     

                                             👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

LEARNING MATHS

     Learning Maths is awesome with our super teacher Lara!!!! 

  We have been learning about measuringreal things and  spaces around the school. The use of Maths in real contexts  makes it easier to understand the concepts we are learning.  The use of rulers and measuring tapes we have found it quite easier to understand the authentic use of Maths in our everyday life as well as we develop our mathematical competence.

   ¡¡¡¡Aprender Matemáticas es increíble con nuestra súper profesora Lara!!!! 

  Hemos estado aprendiendo a medir cosas y espacios reales en el colegio. El uso de las matemáticas en contextos reales facilita la comprensión de los conceptos que estamos aprendiendo.  El uso de reglas y cintas métricas nos ha facilitado la comprensión del uso auténtico de las Matemáticas en nuestra vida cotidiana, así como el desarrollo de nuestra competencia matemática.
