DANCING THE WORLD TRAILER

We have been very busy with the rehearsals of the last choreographies and now we are almost ready for the release of our film "Dancing the World"...

It's going to be an exciting event for all those who took part in this extraodinary experience so we are preparing the red carpet for such an important occasion.

We feel nervous and proud and eager to show the final result of our project.

Meanwhile, have a look at the trailer and enjoy!!!

MEETING OUR NEIGHBOURS AND MAKING FRIENDS

In our intention to weave relations with other schools around us, and looking for opportunities where our students can speak English and use the language to comunicate with others, we have organised this activity with the teachers and students at IES Jerónimo González.

Students in the 3rd year from the Bilingual Section at both schools visited each other and showed their guests around, explaining about the studies, facilities, activites and other curiosities about our schools. Everything in English of course!

After that, in El Entrego we played a Human Bingo, which encouraged the students to mix freely and break the ice. And we finished in the playground with a Running Dictation, a fun activity that gets students up and moving while they practise all four skills and have a good time working together.
In Sama, we did a Quiz and then our assistant Verónica prepared a Jeopardy game, which the students played in teams, showing their knowledge of American culture with great enthusiasm.
Well done guys, it's been a pleasure working with you, we hope to meet again soon!!

NIEMEYER CENTRE

On a rainy Wednesday morning, we took the train with our students in the 3rd and 4th year ESO Bilingual and got off in Avilés to pay a visit to the Niemeyer Centre.
There, we went on a tour around the complex in the company of Manuel, our guide, who told us about the facilities of this modern cultural centre by the estuary of Avilés. 
We learnt that, grateful for the Prince of Asturias Award received in 1989, Oscar Niemeyer collaborated on the 25th anniversary of these awards with the donation to Asturias of the design of this place, which has experienced problems since its inauguration but is still an artistic reference in our region.
We could see an exhibition by photographer Tim Parchikov and in the Dome we admired the original work with shape and colour of artist Cruz Díez.  We were amazed at the auditorium, whose seats do not make a distinction between social classes, and then climbed to the tower and observed the use of abstract forms and curves in this project, one of Niemeyer's distinctive features.
As a complement, the students participated in the workshop Art-Kids- Tectos, where they created their ideal city with cardboard boxes and paintings, using their ideas and imagination.
 

STRUCTURES

The second year students at the bilingual program designed and constructed two different TRIANGULATED STRUCTURES  using SKEWERS in Technology classes.

How much weight can the structures bear?
