At IES Cuatro Caminos we have had the privilege of having as a guest  Mar Alonso Quirós, a former student of the school, graduated in psychology and with great experience in European programmes. Mar Alonso, together with teachers: Marta Fernández, Carmen Aliseda,and 3rd ESO Bilingual students recorded a radio program based on the opportunities offered by the European Union for young people. 

Mar gave us her experience as a volunteer with refugees in Greece, as well as her participation in the European Solidarity Corps and how to be part of it. She also talked about her participation in Youth Exchanges under the Erasmus+ programme and the opportunities to take part in exchanges or training courses within this programme for all young people.

We invite you to watch or listen to this programme and learn more about the great opportunities offered by the European Union for young people: teenagers, students, recent graduates and all those interested in personal development, improving their knowledge, improving their professional career or interested in volunteering.

We hope you enjoy the program as much as we did, teachers and students, recording it.

CHRISTMAS 2022

This year, IES Cuatro Caminos has once again broken all expectations and has become a real Christmas story with the wonderful and varied Christmas decorations scattered mainly around the entrance garden, the porch welcoming students to the school and the foyer. 

There have also been many photos taken by students, teachers and non-teaching staff of the school in the cosy Christmas photocall in the foyer. 

The desired 22nd of December started in the best possible way, with a great breakfast of hot chocolate with churros offered by the IES Cuatro Caminos.

The highlight of the morning came with our traditional Christmas gala, held in the SUM and conducted by the Head of Complementary and Extracurricular Activities, Dolores Ruiz. 

The prizes were awarded for the different competitions held during the term: Halloween, Christmas and the Library Competition. Special mention for the student Marina Sosa who won a prize in Halloween with the following card:

But she also manages to win our mini Christmas competition and the first prize in the general Christmas Decorations competition.

Marina received a special prize and all my students, including the teacher Carmen Aliseda, were presented with a Christmas gift.

It is also worth mentioning that the students of the Bilingual Section participated with their tutors and classmates in the Christmas wreath competition:

Finally, the English teacher Marta made two Christmas cards of the group in two of the most striking scenes of this year to wish Christmas greetings to both my students and their parents:

EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES

Celebrated on 26 September, the European Day of Languages (EDL) is a means of promoting awareness of the importance of language learning and protecting the linguistic heritage. Numerous events are organized throughout September and October to showcase the linguistic richness of Europe as well as to honour and to promote multilingualism and language learning.

The general objectives of the European Day of Languages are to:

• Alert the public to the importance of language learning in order to increase plurilingualism and intercultural understanding.

• Promote the rich linguistic and cultural diversity of Europe.

• Encourage lifelong language learning in and out of school.

On the occasion of the day, some events were carried out at school. This group, 3ºESO Bilingual Section, and their teachers, Carmen Aliseda and Marta Fernández organized a radio programme, which was recorded by our student Carlos García. The activities consisted of a presentation about some curiosities related to languages and an exhibition of tongue twisters in different languages. All of us enjoyed the lesson and our students were encouraged to take up a language, or to take special pride in their existing language skills.

Here are the videos recorded:
