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.
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.

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.
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.
You may be a Harry Potter fan, but how much do you know about the author J.K. Rowling? Click on the image, do the exercises about J.K. Rowling biography.

Last week a special visitor came to our school. His name is Justin Beaver. Noooo girls, I am sorry... it isn't Justin Bieber!! It's Justin BEAVER, pay attention to spelling... ;-)
Justin Beaver.??? No, please, our Justin Beaver is a real beaver, an adorable animal that lives in the rivers of the USA. Here he is, helloooo Justin!!!
Justin lived in New York City and came to our town after his friend Verónica, our speaking assistant, who is also from the Big Apple. Once here he fell in love with the forests and rivers in Asturias, and he decided to stay with us for the school year. So this small pet has become the symbol of the Bilingual Section and thanks to his visit, we are going to learn a lot of things about the USA and its lifestyle, while he helps us practise our English. We are really happy that he came and we want to learn all about his adventures in the Natural Paradise and around the world. In the following posts, you will get to know him a bit better. Stay tuned for more information!!
