Visit of the writer Alejandro Pedregosa
The Department of Language and Literature has carried out for this great day a very interesting literary meeting that tries to promote a taste for reading.
With the main objective of promoting a positive attitude towards books, the visit to our center by this great novelist and poet has been of great educational value.
Video What is your favorite word?
The students of 1st and 2nd ESO have made a fun video about your favorite word from the entire Spanish lexicon, explaining the reasons for your choice.
D. Quixote of La Mancha podcast
To commemorate the 400th anniversary of the death of Cervantes, Secondary students have made use of new IPad applications to record podcast with selected fragments of Don Quixote.
The adventures of Don Quixote and Sancho
Some of the adventures that Don Quixote and Sancho went through have been revived in 5th and 6th grade. The students of the 1st year of Baccalaureate believed that an interesting way to introduce them to this illustrious character, so representative of our literature, would be to transform some of his adventures into a story.
Thus, they have discovered that Dulcinea had a slightly repellent breath as well as a bit of a mustache, the giants that were nothing more than windmills or ferocious armies turned out to be harmless flocks of sheep. These have been some of the different adventures with which they have been able to delight.
medieval dance
When the 1st year of Baccalaureate students came into contact with the medieval world, they became interested in the way of life of that time. But as young people who are enthusiastic, they preferred to investigate one of the ways they had to have fun. The result has been a mere representation of a medieval dance, set with the appropriate clothing.
It has been explained to the students of Primary and ESO, among other things, that medieval dance was a bit difficult to adapt to our time, since they did not use the current stave for music. In this way our schoolchildren have verified that the product of the effort and enthusiasm of their classmates has been a showy and entertaining medieval dance.
Theatrical performance "Ulysses and Polyphemus"
The approach to the Latin Language in 4th year of ESO is always closely linked to classical mythology or any theme of their culture, since they find it very attractive.
This year for the XXVII Cultural Week they have adapted the adventure that Odysseus and his warriors have with the Cyclops Polyphemus from the renowned book The Odyssey.
Primary and ESO schoolchildren have enjoyed the strategy devised by Ulises to escape from this fearsome mythological being. Pretending to be sheep, after having blinded the Cyclops, they managed to deceive him and again succeed in another of his feats.
