4th ESO Historical Documentary Project: A Journey Through Time

We are excited to share the incredible work some of our 4th ESO students (4ºA) have accomplished this term with their "Exploring Historical Events and Figures" video documentary project. This engaging and educational project was designed to deepen students' understanding of history, enhance their presentation skills in English, and foster creativity through collaborative work.

Our students delved into various historical topics chosen by them, creating documentaries on figures and events such as Cleopatra, Princess Diana of Wales, the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., the Discovery of America, the Man on the Moon, and dictatorships in Spain.

As part of our bilingual project, "One School, One Voice", the students paid particular attention to their oracy skills. They focused on both verbal communication (tone, pitch, volume, pronunciation) and non-verbal communication (body language), ensuring their presentations were clear, engaging, and effective.

Here are some screenshots from their impressive documentaries:

         

     

         

A Wonderful Journey Through Literature: Our Reading Activities in 3rd ESO

As we wrap up another remarkable school year, it's time to reflect on the engaging reading activities our 3rd ESO students participated in.

Our dedicated 3rd ESO students presented book reviews, showcasing their favourite reads. They selected books from a wide range of genres and topics. These presentations allowed them to share their thoughts, analyses, and personal reflections on the chosen books, enhancing their critical thinking skills.

Here is a glimpse into the wonderful world of books explored by our students this term:

• Student Reviews: Each student chose a book that resonated with them, and they delved into the themes, characters, and plots, providing unique perspectives and thoughtful critiques.
• Diverse Selections: The books reviewed spanned various genres, including fiction, fantasy, and mystery. This diversity not only broadened their literary horizons but also encouraged them to appreciate different writing styles and storytelling techniques.
• Engaging Presentations: Our students didn't just read; they brought their books to life through engaging presentations. They used creative slides, captivating cover images, and interactive elements to make their reviews more engaging and informative.

 DISCOVERING AVANT-GARDE WOMEN ARTISTS

 

Our Arts students of 2ºC and 2ºD have worked on textures while discovering avant-garde women artists. They researched about them in groups to make an infographic like the example you will see below and later they made a small presentation to their classmates. This way we all know a little bit more about all these wonderful artists.

Once the research was done, it was time to choose a painting and get to work. They had to recreate the painting only using textures and the truth is that they prove to be amazing artists, I leave you some examples of their original results.

CALATALIFA'S IV  ENGLISH LITERARY CONTEST 

On the occasion of Book Day last April, the English department organized the IV Literary Contest. Both students and teachers from the department, as well as our enthusiastic language assistants, thoroughly enjoyed the entire process. It is a great motivation for the participating students, teachers, and assistants to see how much creativity, talent, and language proficiency our students can demonstrate. Congratulations to all participants, especially the winners!

Many thanks also to our language assistants, who were involved at all times, culminating in a fun and motivating award ceremony 😀

            A TRIMESTER BRIMMING WITH JOYOUS FESTIVITIES

The inaugural term overflowed with engaging projects and festive celebrations!😊😊

Noteworthy among our endeavors was the orchestration of a costume contest for Halloween:

Additionally, we dedicated our efforts to executing projects aimed at combating violence against women on the significant date of November 25th. After dealing with the topic in the classes, some students designed and presented posters which we displayed around the building:

The season culminated in a plethora of activities centered around the spirit of Christmas, leaving us with a tapestry of cherished memories from the year 2023. Wishing a Happy New Year to all!
