Saint Patrick ´s Day

 Hi again,

March 17 is a day for huge celebrations in Ireland 🍀. However, due to Ireland's history of emigration, many people around the world consider themselves to be partly Irish because of their ancestral connections. This means that Saint Patrick's Day parties take place around the world, from Boston to Tokyo, Sydney to Buenos Aires. In fact, Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated in more countries than any other national festival. 

Here, in our high school, we also celebrated it! So, students and teachers enjoyed this day by means of activities in different lessons!! You can see some of them:

Christmas cards exchange with CEIP Graciano Atienza

 Hi everyone, 

Today, we want to inform you that our 1ESO bilingual students took part in a Christmas cards exchange with 6th primary students from CEIP Graciano Atienza. Last week, students prepared their Christmas cards to be exchanged together with a Christmas Carold. Thanks to our bilingual music teacher our students recorded their performance and sent to the primary students together with their cards. Our "conserje" Carlos helped us to make this exchange possible.

 😉 Thanks to all students, teachers and caretakers that participated in this bilingual activity.

Merry Christmas and Happy New year 2026!! 🎅🎊🎄

LINGUISTIC IMMERSION CRIEC - OCTOBER 2025

 Hi everybody,

From the 27th to the 30th October, 26 IES Octavio Cuartero students travelled to the CRIEC in Carboneras de Guadazaón (CU) for a linguistic immersion in English. This experience was aimed at 1ESO and 2ESO bilingual students who had the opportunity to improve their level of English together with the IES Alto Guadiana students from Tomelloso. There, all of them attended English workshops on different topics, such as Scracth, Geocatching, Escape rooms, Cluedo.... 

Our students had to introduce their town and school to the other students, and for that, they created this lovely presentation for them. They presented it and prepared a quiz with prizes for those who paid attention and guessed the answers! It was really fun!

This is the presentation: 😍

... and some photos, too.

Finally, when they got back to school they shared their experience with the rest of the school community by means of this radio interview:

Making Coca cola - 2ESO students - physics and chemistry

Colas are sweet, carbonated drinks, usually with caramel colouring and containing caffeine. 

Originally invented by John Pemberton, it has become popular worldwide. Coca-Cola and Pepsi have become the major international brands, leading to the drink often being seen as a symbol of the United States. 

Last week, our 2ESO students made their own cola drink, using drinks, food and materials they could find in their kitchens. 

Here, you can watch these videos and see how they made it at home for the Ph&Ch subject. 

Hope you find it interesting ;-)
