Healthy recipes

 These are some of the posters with delicious recipes our 1º ESO bilingual students have created. They also filmed themselves while cooking them! As a result, we have all learnt new meals to cook and eat at home with our families. Yummy!!!! 

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY: Students' Thoughts

On March 8th, on the occasion of International Women’s Day, our students from 3ºC and 3ºD have learned English by watching the video of Malala Yousafzai's speech at the United Nations. Malala had been shot in the head by the Taliban in her native country of Pakistan because the Taliban don’t believe in girls getting an education. After watching the video, our students have reflected upon her main message, “Education First”, in which she advocates for “the right of education of every child”. Besides, they have shared their thoughts on a Padlet wall with regard to damaging gender stereotypes and the fight for equality, together with the difficulties some famous women or women from their own families have faced and how they have thrived despite adversity.

You can read their reflections here:

 SIMPLY THE BEST, CALATALIFA HELPS!

This year, many of the projects our Section students are doing in all the subjects we teach in English revolve around a common topic we called: "Simply the Best, Calatalifa Helps!" 

The aim of this common theme is to make our students feel proud of themselves and our school when they help other students or people 💗.

We created the following Projects Landscape Poster to show everybody all the projects we will be doing from January to May in different years and subjects 👇:
