Why the strike tomorrow?

Here is the explanation, a group of teachers and pupils from a public school have created this wonderful video to explain the cuts we are having and the results of them.

A teacher sings

The singer is a professor of chemistry at the Cartagena Technical University, and has a rock band. She's the girl who came to the school to give our 4th ESO students a sexual orientation talk. José Luis is entering a contest to play at the SOS, his video is great. You can vote for it from Facebook from the link below if you like it.

Welcome back

Are you ready? School days have started and a new challenge is waiting for us, I'm sure this new year is going to be great in spite of the economic problems we are suffering. I have designed a new site for us to work, click on the image on the right sidebar to go there, its name 2nd A Bilingual.

Bachillerato web

Go to our site

We have designed a new site for 2nd Bachillerato in order to show their online work. They have work a lot: they have created their own blogs including the tasks they have carried out throughout the year, glogs with their voices, comics and even a wiki where they organized a trip to Dublin. It has been a wonderful year and we have enjoyed it a lot.

Record your voice

Go to the site

Our next task consists of recording your voice by using Soundcloud and then embed it on your glogster. The content of this recording will be your daily routines for 1º ESO and for 2º Bachillerato it deals with the explanation of your routines to explain our costumes to the European students who we are working with in our Comenius project called "Believing in Humanity". You can add pictures, videos and comments to your glog as well as this recording that is going to be done on Thursday.

My students use Pixton

The English and French Department of IES Mediterráneo have celebrated the Human Rights Day by designing posters with the articles of the Declaration of the Human Rights making a relation with these articles and the Spanish Constitution. The 2º Bachillerato students created several comics developing these articles to diffuse them among the other students at school. These comics have been created by using: Pixton. It is a wonderful online tool that helps students create attractive comics, it is fun and easy to use. They also made a gymkhana with this topic that was carried out on 21st December at our school.

Back to school

Here we are one more time. This year we have some novelties: first of all we are in the Bilingüal Programme and this is a big challenge, on the other hand we are involved in two Comenius projects. One is about Solidarity and is called "Beleiving in Humanity" and the other is about the importance of harbour cities and their social, economic and cultural influence. That means we are going to be very busy.
Regarding the implementation of our bilingual section we have created a page on the website of our department for this section to meet the needs of the programme and, of course, to help our 1ºESO students who begin this experience. That is why I have dedicated a page within the previous one. We invite you to visit it and begin your journey now.
