This week we have been discussing the importance of learning languages as part  as the activities to commemorate the European Day of Languages. These are some of the conclusions students from 3º ESO A have reached.

LET'S CELEBRATE LANGUAGES!

The European Day of Languages is 26 September, as proclaimed by the Council of Europe on 6 December 2001.

The general objectives of the European Day of Languages are to:

• Alert the public to the importance of language learning and diversify the range of languages learned in order to increase plurilingualism and intercultural understanding;
• Promote the rich linguistic and cultural diversity of Europe;
• Encourage lifelong language learning in and out of school.

On the occasion of the day, a range of events are organised across Europe and 1º ESO and 2º ESO together with their teachers wanted to join them. These are some of the photos of the activities they made.

OUR SCHOOL'S BOOK FESTIVAL IS HERE!

Hello everyone! And Happy World Book Day!

We have started to celebrate our school's Book Festival. 4th edition !!!

2º ESO students have immersed in the Wonderful world of the Wizard of Oz and they've recorded a series of podcasts to tell you the story.

To start the series of podcasts, Alicia, Valeria, Joel, Sandra and Shakira play the roles of the narrators, Uncle Henry, Aunt Emm and Dorothy.

Enjoy!

Today, 21st of March, we are celebrating World Poetry day. We’d like to start this podcast with a quote by Irina Bokova, UNESCO Director-General, "Poetry is a window onto the breath-taking diversity of humanity."

In celebrating World Poetry Day, UNESCO recognizes the unique ability of poetry to capture the creative spirit of the human mind.  A decision to proclaim 21 March as World Poetry Day was adopted during UNESCO’s 30th session held in Paris in 1999.

One of the main objectives of the Day is to support linguistic diversity through poetic expression and to offer endangered languages the opportunity to be heard within their communities.

To mark this special date, we’d love you to enjoy two poems by  two well-known poets. One from our country, Rosalía de Castro, and one from the USA, Emily Dickinson.

Enjoy them!

Most of us know what St Valentine's Day is, but let's remember it.

It's the day when people show their affection for another person or people by sending cards, flowers or chocolates with messages of love.

But do you know who St Valentine was?

There are a few stories about him, but the most 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".

Is it celebrated in the same way all over the world?

The answer is NO. If you want to find out how it is celbrated in some countries, listen to the podcast that Lucía and Ana have recorded about the different ways and traditions related to this celebration.

SLEEPY HOLLOW

Yesterday, 23rd January, we went to the theatre! We had such a good time! We went to see a play by a theatre company called The Performers Inc. The play, Sleepy Hollow, was a version of a short story by the American writer Washington Irving.
Here you have some pics from the performance and a podcst that Ledicia and Alex have recorded about the activity.
