CONCURSO “THE BIG CHALLENGE”
El próximo día 3 de mayo, algo más de 50 alumnos y alumnas del instituto participarán en la convocatoria del presente curso del BIG CHALLENGE, un concurso en el que se ponen a prueba los conocimientos de los participantes sobre la lengua y cultura de los países de habla inglesa.
Se compite con estudiantes de todo el país, lo que representa un gran reto que motiva a hacerlo lo mejor posible.
Todos los participantes reciben un premio por el mero hecho de tomar parte y aspiran a ganar otros dependiendo de la puntuación obtenida. Es una actividad que hemos realizado ya en numerosas ocasiones, con buenos resultados de nuestros chicos y chicas.

ADAPTACIÓN DE LA NOVELA TOM SAWYER (MARK TWAIN)
Portada de la obra (propiedad de MIC producciones teatrales)
El pasado día 8 de febrero, acudimos junto con 50 alumnos y alumnas de nuestro instituto a la representación teatral de una adaptación de una de las novelas más famosas de la literatura norteamericana, Tom Sawyer, del escritor Mark Twain. Nuestro alumnos pudieron disfrutar de una representación con música y aventuras, y una buena puesta en escena. Y todo ello en lengua inglesa, con diálogos adaptados al nivel de alumnos del primer ciclo de E.S.O. Al final de la representación, tuvimos la oportunidad de hacer preguntas a los actores y actrices de la obra.

Nature and English: Espinosa de los Monteros
A group of 21 students of 2º of Secondary Education from our school have just returned from Espinosa de los Monteros (in the north of Burgos) after a few days of indoors and outdoors activities in the area. There, they were assisted by instructors who told them about many things: the diferente layers of rocks and sediments that form the ground, the kind of plants and animals that you can see in the region, the origin of the extraordinary, famous cave of Ojo Guareña, and so on.
And all this using the English language as the vehicle of communication. They also had the chance to experience everyday life with their own classmates and other students from a different school. It seems that they enjoyed the experience very much. We hope they learned a lot, too!

British and American culture
It’s been some time since Sam, a man from England, entered our halls to teach us a bit more about English culture. He used photos, games and his funny wit to keep us all interested while he showed us different pronunciations (from American to British), flags, maps and even Scottish kilts; he also asked us some questions to see if we were paying attention and if we were understanding him. Time flew and, at the end of the period nobody wanted to leave. We would love to have him back!

The Pollution on Beaches
The 2ºA and 2ºB classes did several projects about how to recycle, the pollution on beaches, the forest fires and how to save the animals, plants and our planet. We learnt a lot and we had fun. Marcela Ferrándiz - 2º A |
Beach Pollution. Posible solutions: - Campaigning for beach-goers take their bag to take away. - Place garbage dumps of classified form. (For cardboard, plastic, aluminium, etc. - Incentives that are carried over own garbage that they generate. - On islands, getting boaters, with garbage bags generated by visitors to the mainlad. - Generally people urinate a lot on the beaches, so, they should built more urinals. - Drains must not lead to the beaches (must go through a treatment plant) By Pablo Aparicio, 2ºA |
Don’t pollute beaches, people will be angry if you do it. The 3 R’s are so important that if you do it you can save the planet. If we reuse paper and bottles, we won’t buy too much paper and bottles. If we save animals, they won’t extinguish. Raúl Fernández - 2º B
Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, sounds or light. Adverse air quality can kill many organisms including humans. We need to stop pollution or we will destroy our planet. Susana Molinero - 2º B |
The Pollution of Beaches Seven millions of persons approximately visit the beaches of Spain every year. They leave about 25 tons of rubbish in them. The 80% of victims garbage marine animals die from ingestion or inmersion. If this continues marine life will become scarce, the food that comes from the sea will be contaminated and will be very expensive, fishermen will lose their jobs, and swim in the sea will involve a great health risk. We can recycle all rubbish and keep clean the beaches to avoid this disasters. Lucía Tasis 2º ESO A |
