SAFER INTERNET DAY
Safer Internet Day is celebrated on February 10th. Last year our students made a video rendition showing the dangers of sharing your information on the internet.This school year our 2nd year students in the bilingual programme made comic stories  which show the terrible consequences of  making a mistake online. I hope you will enjoy reading the comics and learn from the mistakes. Your safety is not a game.

         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.

Etwinning video: Welcome to my school

This school year, our second year students from the bilingual section are taking part in an eTwinning project called "Welcome to my School".The aim of this video project is to present schools across various European countries. The students will speak in English and present their school and their school life. As part of the first stage of the project students have to make a video to present their school to the other countries participating in it (France, Italy, Turkey, Greece, Poland, Estonia and Spain). Here you can see the video our students made. I hope you'll like it!

WELCOME TO OUR BILINGUAL PROGRAMME.

Last school year there were just seven first-year students in our bilingual section, this year we have thirteen new second-year students, some of them coming from a different school. Therefore, our old students were curious about the new ones, that is why they decided to ask them some questions about their lives and the reasons why they enrolled in the program.
Here you have a video showing their skills as journalists, I hope you'll enjoy it.

A VISIT TO EVARISTO VALLE MUSEUM

First and second year students at the bilingual program visited the Evaristo Valle Museum in Gijón on 25th of March.

The visit took around two hours; during the first hour a guide explained to us interesting facts about the museum and the artist's life. She spoke in English,  it was very easy to understand her.

The second part of the visit was in the wonderful garden of the museum. It was a gymkhana. We compared how artists express their feelings and ideas in different periods of time. It was great!

During the  gymkhana we got a surprise...Have a look at the pictures to discover it!

COMPUTERS

Since the first computer was designed, computers and their components have changed a lot. 

Watch this video and you will see how young people react to old computers. 

After watching the video, leave us your comments. Have you ever seen anything like this before? Are there any old computer or any other old devices in your house? Do you know how to use them?

Students from different groups took part in some activities related to this meaningful day.

We joined to the ORANGE DAY, a United Nations campaign that invites everyboby to wear orange to take a stand on ending violence against women and girls. Many students gave orange blows to those persons who wanted to take part in this campaign.
