EUROPE IS LIVING A CELEBRATION!!!

This week we are celebrating Europe Day with lots of different activities. 2º ESO A and B were the first groups to start celebrating it in the subject of English. 

2º ESO A students designed a booklet on different aspects of the European Union. It was a collaborative work because they did witht the help of their teachers of English and French! 

2º ESO B students had a look at some European countries and their flags. It was really interesting and good fun!

The U.S. Education System

Thanks to Alex, 4º ESO students have learned about the U.S. education system. They have found that a lot of very interesting facts about and learned that not everythig they see on films or TV series is true!

This is the presentation Alex prepared and some pictures from the lesson!

Thanks a lot, Alex! 

IRENE: AN ITALIAN ERASMUS STUDENT VISITS US!

As part of the Letter exchange activity with Erasmus students, 2º ESO A received the visit of one of them: Irene. She is an Italian student whose reading recommendation was Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

She spent one lesson with us and we could ask her questions about her country and reading habits. She also asked us some questions!

It was so good to have her with us! Thanks Irene!

LETTER EXCHANGE WITH ERASMUS STUDENTS IN OURENSE

A few days ago, 2º ESO A students received some special letters with some reading recommendations from Italy, Lithuania, France, Mexico, Turkey, Czech Republic, Portugal and Finland. Those letters came from foreign students who are apending this academic year in Ourense. This is a collage featuring their recommendations.

A few days later, our students replied to those letters sending them their suggestions.

Do you feel like having a look ?

TRAVELLING NOTEBOOK: 3rd STOP

We were very happy to receive a new travelling notebook, a wonderful notebook, in its third stop after starting its journey in Lanzarote and stopping in Gran Canaria. In fact, we receive two notebooks! Fantastic!

We've made our contribution to both notebooks. We hope you like it! It's been hard work and good fun too!

On its way to Russia again!

Yes! We received the travelling notebook from Gran Canaria two weeks ago, and we were so excited that we couldn't wait to contribute to it.
They wrote about themselves, so we decided to write about ourselves. We hope they like when it returns to them in May.
This is our contribution on its way to Russia!

OUR TRAVELLING NOTEBOOK

This year we are participating in a new project which will take us and Ourense to various countries in the world. It's a Travelling Notebook.
What is a travelling notebook?
Well, it's a notebook which travels. There are six schools taking part in this chain:

• IES César Manrique (Lanzarote, Spain)
• IES Guía (Gran Canaria, Spain)
• CPR Padre Feijoo Zorelle (Ourense, Spain)
• Ulyanovsk school № 76 (Uljanovsk, Russia)
• Sekolah Menengah Ayer Puteh (Malaysia)
• Zhoushan Senior High School (Zhejiang, China)

Our travelling notebook will travel to Russia. Every time we receive a notebook, we will write on it and send it to Russia. From Russia it will travel Malaysia. From Malaysia it will fly to China and from China to Spain, to the Canary Islands, before coming back to us after being travelling for 8 months.

2º ESO A have been working hard and with enthusiasm on their travelling notebook for this year. They had to do some research on Ourense, the festivals we celebrate in our province and our school too.

The notebook is already on its way to Russia! But, if you feel curious, you can have a look at it below!
