PEACE DAY

                                                       Peace Day in our school 3 years ago

Since 1964, Peace Day (30th January) is celebrated all around the world to commemorate Gandhi's death. This year as 30th is on Saturday, our school will celebrate it on Friday. The whole school will gather in the sport room in order to celebrate an assembly, where we will remember Gandhi and talk about the main topic, peace. Each course from ESO and BACHILLERATO has prepared some activities.

Gandhi  was born on October 2, in 1869 (Porbandar, India) He studied law and became the leader of India´s independence movement. In January 30 (1948), the 78-year-old Gandhi was killed in Ner Delhi´s Birla House. Nathuram Godse, an hindu extremist, was his murderer. He took the life of a pacifist human who spent his life preaching non-violence. This is the reason why the Peace Day is celebrated every January 30th all around the world.

The activity which 3rd and 4th of secondary are preparing consists of a Museum of Gernika's painting (Picasso). 3º of ESO will take care of making a big mural depicting the painting of Picasso. On the other hand, 4º of ESO, will seek for information about the painter, the work, its symbols... Once they have all the needed information, they will record their voices reading it.

When all that work is done, with the help of technology using the QR code, if you point at the drawing with the mobile phone, the recorded information will be reproduced.

Then, as we have said before, the whole school will go to the sports room, where we will celebrate an assembly. Students from BACHILLERATO will read some texts.

LEXIT

Lexit is a literal resource to encourage reading. It is an online reading platform where teachers have a personal space to share with students; each student must read a book and answer chapter to chapter to a time-controlled questionnaire.

The platform makes a scoring system which encourages students to read books. The more they read and make questionnaires correctly, the more points and options for prices they will have.

We've been using this space for 4 years from now. 19 students from 1ºESO to 4º ESO have won a price for reading. The prices this year have been:
-2 e-readers
-4 headphones sets
-13 USB-bracelets

THEATRE COMES TO OUR SCHOOL!

As every year, the 'Moving On' English theatre company, came last Friday to our centre. The show was given to students from 1st and 2nd of ESO and another one for 6th grade. We had the privilege to watch the play too, and we could see how students sang and got involved in the play, while they were learning English.

 'Moving on' company offered us a comedy and a musical show, interpreted in English by experienced British performers. This time, they performed a show called "One way ticket"; this play took us on an amazing journey in London underground, where the protagonists, Bob and Harry, try to preserve the underground station.

This company also did another theatre for primary school students . The story was about a dreamer, called Harry, who wanted to become a famous actor. The show gives the students the chance to involve in the world of television.
