Thanksgiving

 🍁🍂Decorated Turkey Competition 2025!🍂🍁

Our 1º ESO bilingual students have shown incredible creativity by decorating turkeys and sharing heartfelt messages about what they are thankful for in life.

But that’s not all—students from 2º, 3º, and 4º ESO joined in too, contributing their own gratitude posts to make this celebration even more special.

A big thank you to everyone for spreading positivity and appreciation! 




Halloween- Samhain

To celebrate All Hallows' Eve, the students of 2º ESO have created pumpkins made from circles of different sizes. In this way, they actively collaborate and build relationships while working with mathematics in teams.




                                     




Fundación Princesa de Asturias – Toma la palabra. La voz de Serena


Premio Princesa de Asturias de los Deportes 2025: Serena Williams







Bilingual Programme Students Take Part in “Toma la palabra” with a Project on Serena Williams.

As part of the cultural activities organised around the Princess of Asturias Awards, several students from our bilingual programme have participated in the initiative “Toma la palabra”, which encourages reflection and expression in English.

This year, their work focused on Serena Williams, allowing them to explore not only her outstanding sports career but also her personality, talent, and the impact she has made as a role model both within and beyond the world of tennis. The activity was a valuable opportunity to develop language skills while engaging with themes such as perseverance, excellence, and equality.

4º ESO

Participant: Isabella Bernal Duarte 

 Exercise 2 – Serena’s Motivational Words

 Title: Confidence and Hard Work to Combat Insecurity

 Isabella's reflection:

"I have chosen exercise 2 because I find both the video and the poem very inspiring, and their content encourages me to overcome my insecurities".


💬 English text:

CONFIDENCE AND HARD WORK TO COMBAT INSECURITY

The message of Serena Williams that had impacted on me the most is the importance of believing in yourself even when other people don’t. She explains that the confidence is not something you are given, but something you build with hard work. This idea is important to me and inspires me because I usually feel insecure about what people say, or about my abilities. Her words based on the poem “Still I rise” remind me that I need to trust more in me and the things I can do with hard work.

❓ Question for  Serena Williams:

"What can you say or what advice would you give to the teenagers who feel insecure or afraid when they try something new?"



1º ESO 

Participants:  Lautaro Correia Padrón, Diego Díaz Solares, Javier Frías de Esteban, Tomás Izquierdo Gallego, Maartje Alida Van Veelen.

Exercise 2 – Serena’s Motivational Words

Title: Still we Rise

Student's reflection: 

"We selected the third exercise because we thought it would be interesting to learn about African-American women's literature and the poem that inspired Serena's words".


💬 English text:

STILL WE RISE

Serena’s words have impacted us. They have made us think that every defeat and every victory help you to become the best version of yourself.

Also, the beautiful poem, written by Maya Angelou and popularized by Serena Williams in her motivational speech, has taught us about the importance of persistence, even when other people send you hate. This poem makes you think about clearing your goals, your objectives and your dreams.

❓ Question for  Serena Williams:

"What gave you the strength to continue fighting to achieve your goals?"

Do we recycle?

   




    Students from 1st and 3rd year of ESO took part in the “Do We Recycle?” project, an interdisciplinary initiative combining Biology and Geology, Mathematics, and English to explore our recycling habits.

 Throughout the project:

  • Students conducted a survey on recycling habits.
  • 3rd-year students analyzed the data using statistics.
  • They then prepared an English presentation to explain the results to 1st-year students, promoting peer-to-peer learning.

 On this blog, we’re sharing:

  • Some pictures of our students while presenting their project.
  • The presentation slides with the survey results.

   An enriching experience that blends science, numbers, language, and environmental awareness. Don’t miss it! 

  El alumnado de 1º y 3º de ESO ha participado en el proyecto “¿Reciclamos?”, una iniciativa que une las materias de Biología y Geología, Matemáticas e Inglés para reflexionar sobre nuestros hábitos de reciclaje.

  Durante el proyecto:

  • Se realizó una encuesta sobre hábitos de reciclaje entre los estudiantes.
  • El alumnado de 3º ESO analizó los datos obtenidos aplicando conceptos de estadística.
  • Posteriormente, prepararon una presentación en inglés para explicar los resultados al alumnado de 1º ESO, fomentando así el aprendizaje entre iguales.

 En este blog compartimos:

  • Algunas fotos de nuestros estudiantes tomadas mientras hacían la presentación.
  • La presentación con los resultados de las encuestas.
