Connecting Schools: Clearwater Elementary & IES Cuatro Caminos

Last Friday, 7th April, a very special person for our English Assistant, Des, visited us. My students have been exchanging letters with the school where James McCann works since last school year.  It was a really pleasure for all my students and for me to listen to James giving information about himself, his brother, school life, food, the current political situation in his country and many other topics of interest to all of us.

THANK YOU BOTH, JAMES & DES, FOR SHARING 
THIS TIME TOGETHER !!!

School Day of Non-violence and Peace

The International Day of Peace is annually held on September 21 to recognize the efforts of individuals, organizations and governments to end conflict and promote peace.  People around the world take part in various activities and organize events centered on the theme “PEACE”. In Spain, the School Day of Non-violence and Peace is celebrated on January 30.

The motto of this day is:

“Universal love, non-violence and peace. 

Universal love is better than selfishness,  

non-violence is better than violence 

and peace is better than war”. 

In the pictures below you can see a big Dove of Peace, full of photos taken by some students and teachers during the month of January. There are pictures of almost all members of our Educational Community. Also students sitting on the floor forming a peace symbol.

Marina, we all miss you!!!

This year our student Marina Suárez Blázquez is having a great experience in Fairborn, Ohio in the United States. When she was in 3ºESO last year, she decided to spend a school year in USA, studying 4ºESO. Two weeks ago, she made a tremendous effort to get up at 3:30am and talk a little bit with us via videoconferencing. From here, we wish you the very best for such a wonderful experience you are living in Fairborn, Ohio. We all miss you a lot and thank you so much for being with us.

THE BEST OF LUCK

 IN THIS GREAT ADVENTURE!!!!

HALLOWEEN 2016

This year Halloween was celebrated on October 28 at school. As usual, lots of students took part in the activities and decorations organized by the English Department. Once again, my 4ºESO students decided to participate and one of the group got the prize for the best stand. 

Don't miss our Halloween story:

We are sharing a project with James MacCann, our English assistant's brother from California. My students were asked to make bookmarks and posters on Halloween and all of them were sent to California. The students there will select the contest winners.

GOOD LUCK, STUDENTS!!!
