Students and teachers of the Bilingual Program at IES Virgen de Covadonga carried out different acctivities and projects to conmmemorate the International Women's Day 2017.
First, team of teachers organised a contest to design and create our own LOGO to celebrate this important date in our High School.
Many students, from the Bilingual Program or not, took part in the contest using their creativity and different software and digital devices to design and create their logos.
The name of the High School and a slogan or quote related to the matter were required to participate in the contest.
These are the Logos the students designed... Thanks all of them for participating!!!!
1º and 2º ESO:
3º, PMAR and Bachillerato:
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY on PhotoPeach
The winner of the contest is PAULA ROMERO LOMBARDÍA, from 3º ESO A. This logo became a sticker which students delivered during the break time, so that all the school community had their sticker to commermorate this day. Happy International Women's day!
Why refugees leave their homes, what
challenges they face, or how welcoming Spain is to those seeking asylum were some of the questions that the
students in 4th ESO addressed through this project work.
Thinking about the world we live in and reflecting on our fundamental human rights were the goals of this task. The conclusions are shown in the posters above.
In February, the students of the Bilingual Program took part in some actvities to celebrate Black History Month.
They investigated about African- American scientists, sportspeople, matemathicians, politicians, civil rights activists.... They studied their lives and achievements and they found out impressive facts about their lives and the complicated situations they or their ancestors had to live many years ago. Then, they published short biographies in the form of posters, creating an interesting 'Personalities Gallery' which decorated he first floor landing in our High School for the past two weeks.
Now it's your turn!!! Answer the questions of the pop quiz and show how much you've learnt ...
Black History Month is celebrated in February in schools and communities in the United States.
Established
as Negro History Week in the 1920s by Carter G. Woodson, February was
chosen for the celebration because Frederick Douglass and Abraham
Lincoln were born in this month. Extended to a month-long celebration in
1976, Black History Month is an opportunity to emphasize the history
and achievements of African Americans. - See more at:

It was established as a Negro History Week in 1926 by Carter G. Woodson, a historian who wanted to ensure that important contributions made by African American men and women throught history would never be forgotten.
Two important birthdays helped organizers choose February as the time to celebrate African Americans. Two US leaders that helped African Americans gain equality, President Abraham Lincoln and human rights acitivist, Frederic Douglass.
Extended to a month- long celebration in 1976, Black History Month is an opportunity to emphasize the history and achievements of African Americans.
This year, Bilingual Program students and teachers have decided that we would like to join this celebration integrating Black History in our classrooms. So, with the help of our language assistant, Diana, we are doing different activities that will bring us closer to the African American history, from the terrible time of slavery until the present times.
In Technology class we focused on African American inventors or scientists. Diana told us the story A Weed is a flower, about the life of George Washington Carver, a scientist who worked with peanuts and helped Southern farmers.
Would you like to know which inventions have Afro American inventors shared with the world?
Go have a look ...

We learnt about San Diego Comic- Con thanks to Diane, who came from sunny California and is helping us discover plenty of new things about her country and culture.
Comic-Con is an entertainment and comic convention held annually in San Diego. We were amazed to learn about it. Did you know it isthe largest convention of its kind in the world? There is something for everyone: comic books, science fiction and fantasy film and television, horror, animation, manga, toys, video games, webcomics, collectible card games, fantasy novels...! After Dian's presentation the students in the 1st Yer created their own comic stories and presented their ideas to the class. This is part of the result of their work.

ETWINNING PROJECT (2nd ESO A)
The second stage of the etwinning project which our second year students in the bilingual section are working on consists of showing the other schools involved in the project the school rules, that is, what students are and are not allowed to do at school.
Since they love drama, they went a little overboard in their performance; and as you may appreciate in the video, when they become teachers they are much stricter than teachers themselves.
I hope you'll enjoy watching the video.
