In the European Parliament - Euroscola

As you know, a group of 13 students of our school won the Euroscola 2014 competition in Spain. One of the prizes they got was a visit to the European Parliament in Strasbourg (France). Last 19th March the much-awaited visit took place. The students and their teachers were able to spend a whole day with teenagers from other 23 European countries and they debated about hot issues in Europe at the moment. Of course, all the talks and discussions were conducted in English. The experience was enlightening and the whole trip was unforgettable since they were also able to enjoy the beauty of the city of Strasbourg.

Science in English

Who said that the phases of the moon are difficult to learn, let alone in English? Well, with some recycled material and a little bit of imagination everything is possible, as our 1º ESO students can show. This is one of our students' projects.

School Day of Non-violence and Peace

What’s the meaning of peace? Peace means equality, means respect. It means justice, hope and fraternity. Peace means love and friendship. Peace means freedom. Wherever a positive thing is, peace is there, too. 

If everything good includes peace, then everybody wants to get it. But don’t forget that peace starts and finishes in ourselves. Try to be fair, try to be respectful and try to be a good friend each day. Respect freedom, respect everybody’s opinion. If you don’t agree, discuss it: it’s all right! That’s a very important way to achieve peace… 

Peace goes like the butterfly effect does. Small actions change the world! At home, at school; try it. Lots of people have changed the world, and they were made of flesh and blood, like us! Thanks to Mahatma Gandhi, India became independent while he tried to build a better society, a society without castes. But Mahatma couldn’t have done this alone: he needed the support of his country, as Martin Luther King did it. He ended with segregation in the United States, like Nelson Mandela finished in South Africa. Peace also consists on fighting (peacefully) to allow girls to go to school, for example (as Malala Yousafzai) or being the first woman who is president in your country. That was the case of Benazir Bhuto in Pakistan. 

“Come on girls, come on boys; it’s your future, it’s your choice, and your weapon is your voice: let’s make a new tomorrow today!” [A friend in London – New Tomorrow] 

Change it with your music. Change it writing, or change it through sculpture or drawing. Change it protesting like French people did after the attacks of Charlie Hebdo. And in relation to this topic, don’t get confused: although several Islamic fundamentalists have carried out the attack, that doesn’t mean that every single Muslim supports them. Don’t spread irrational fear, because then you are going to collect war. 

Rafael Díaz Tendero (1º Bachillerato A)

To finish, John Lennon’s masterpiece Imagine.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

School Trip to London (3º eso)

Last June, when the exams were over at last, the 3º eso bilingual group spent a few days in London. They were accompanied by their tutor, Paqui, and their English and Technology teachers, Mª José and David. They were all excited and eager to see with their own eyes what they had seen in books hundreds of times: the Big Ben, the London Eye, Buckingham Palace, all the famous landmarks of one of the trendiest cities in the world! It goes without saying that they all had an unforgettable experience, as you can see in the photos they took and the comments they wrote about the trip. You can see more pictures here.
