Bachillerato web

Go to our site

We have designed a new site for 2nd Bachillerato in order to show their online work. They have work a lot: they have created their own blogs including the tasks they have carried out throughout the year, glogs with their voices, comics and even a wiki where they organized a trip to Dublin. It has been a wonderful year and we have enjoyed it a lot.

Thank you, Bailey

Bailey,our assisstant teacher, is about to leave us and we are very sad because he has been a wonderful teacher and a wonderful mate. This is the video we have made to tell him how much we love him.

You could pin any book or title, a favourite from childhood, a current book or something you’ve read and enjoyed.Click here to go to the site It is a wonderful idea and I want to congratulate Mª Jesús for such a splendid activity to encourage reading.

Record your voice

Go to the site

Our next task consists of recording your voice by using Soundcloud and then embed it on your glogster. The content of this recording will be your daily routines for 1º ESO and for 2º Bachillerato it will deal with the explanation of your routines to explain our costumes to the European students who we are working with in our Comenius project called "Believing in Humanity". You can add pictures, videos and comments to your glog as well as this recording that is going to be done on Thursday.

A new eTwinning project: Enlivening our libraries

We have started a new project on eTwinning, its name "Enlivening our libraries". It is the continuation of our Comenius project that we have carried out over two years, "Reading for travelling through the paths of life", which was intended to encourage reading and make our library a place of meeting with activities which motivate our students to read. Our Department has special interest in participating in this project because it involves using English as a vehicle for communication among the different countries and because we are convinced of the importance of reading to develop not only the language but the knowledge of the different cultures involved. We hope that you, our students, will be interested in this project and participate in the activities that we will be proposing.
