Amiens días 2 y 3

ERASMUS EXCHANGE AMIENS – ALMUÑÉCAR (DÍAS 2 Y 3)

El pasado martes, españoles y franceses le hemos sacado un poco de jugo a Granada. Empezamos disfrutando de la Alhambra, recorriendo sus palacios, torres y hermosos jardines. También nos dio tiempo a asomarnos al impresionante Palacio de Carlos V y a descubrir el Museo de Bellas Artes. Después, a perdernos por las calles estrechas del Albaicín, disfrutando de las vistas desde los miradores y bajar por Calderería hasta llegar a Plaza Nueva. Terminamos el día en el centro, entre la Catedral y la Plaza Bib-Rambla, un poco cansados pero contentos. ¡Vaya día! 

Durante la tercera jornada, estudiantes franceses y españoles han realizado distintas actividades dentro del aula. Para comenzar, han asistido a una clase de Robótica donde han aprendido conceptos básicos sobre programación y codificación gracias a la web “Scratch”. Más tarde, han trabajado en equipo en la “Escape Room Sexi” para sacar adelante diversas pruebas y tareas relacionadas con la cultura europea. Finalmente, han observado también las clases de Matemáticas y Biología con el fin de conocer otras herramientas y métodos de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Ya por la tarde, gozaron de tiempo libre y aprovecharon para ir de compras por Almuñécar, terminando el día “de tapeo” por el centro. 

ERASMUS EXCHANGE AMIENS – ALMUÑÉCAR (DAYS 2 AND 3)

LastTuesday, Spaniards and French visitors made the most of Granada. We began by enjoying the Alhambra, exploring its palaces, towers and beautiful gardens. We also had time to pop into the impressive Palace of Charles V and discover the Museum of Fine Arts. Afterwards, we lost ourselves in the narrow streets of the Albaicín, taking in the views from the vantage points and walking down Calderería until we reached Plaza Nueva. We ended the day in the city centre, between the Cathedral and Plaza Bib-Rambla, a little tired but happy. What a fantastic day!

On the third day, French and Spanish students took part in various classroom activities. To start with, they attended a robotics lesson where they learnt basic concepts of programming and coding using the ‘Scratch’ website. Later, they worked in teams in the ‘Escape Room Sexi’ to complete various challenges and tasks related to European culture. Finally, they also observed maths and biology lessons to learn about other teaching and learning tools and methods. In the afternoon, they enjoyed some free time and took the opportunity to go shopping in Almuñécar, rounding off the day with a ‘tapas tour’ in the town centre.

Conociendo los recursos turísticos de Almuñécar

El pasado 29 de septiembre, el alumnado del ciclo de Gestión de Alojamientos Turísticos realizó una salida formativa para conocer de primera mano dos importantes recursos turísticos de nuestro municipio: el Acuario y el Parque Ornitológico Loro Sexi.
A lo largo de la visita, pudieron analizar su funcionamiento, su oferta y su papel dentro del destino turístico.
Una experiencia enriquecedora que nos acerca aún más al sector turístico y a nuestro entorno.

European Day of Languages

26th September: Celebrating Languages, Celebrating Europe!

We celebrate the European Day of Languages on the 26th of September. It is a day dedicated to promoting language learning, cultural diversity and communication between people from different countries.

Our students took part in a range of fun and creative activities. 1º ESO students designed colourful football shirts representing different European countries, using their flags and languages. By writing the message “We are the best” in different European languages, they learnt that the same   idea can be expressed in many different ways.

Meanwhile, the rest of the ESO students explored the fascinating world of the English language. They worked with English idioms and discovered some of the differences between British and American English, from vocabulary and expressions to everyday usage.

These activities showed our students that learning a language is not only about grammar and vocabulary. It is also about discovering new cultures and understanding different ways of communicating. Speaking different languages will allow them to travel, to work abroad, to become citizens of the world.

XVIII Festival de Teatro Grecolatino “Sexi Firmum Iulium”

Del 2 al 6 de septiembre, Almuñécar volvió a convertirse en escenario de la cultura clásica con la celebración del XVIII Festival de Teatro Grecolatino «Sexi Firmum Iulium», una cita ya consolidada en el calendario cultural del municipio.

Bajo la coordinación de nuestro querido compañero Antonio Cantudo, profesor de Latín del IES Antigua Sexi ,el festival alcanzó este año su decimoctava edición, manteniendo vivo su propósito de acercar el teatro grecolatino al público y de poner en valor un legado cultural que, siglos después, continúa plenamente vigente.

Sport and wellness

SPORT AND WELLNESS 3º ESO

As part of the Bilingual programme, and just before the Summer holidays, the 3º ESO students carried out a few activities related to “Sport and wellness”.

 In PE they had a yoga class that helped them to reduce their anxiety just before the final exams. A yoga professional taught them some basic yoga poses which they could use whenever they feel stressed.

In English they recorded some interviews where some of the students pretended to be sports people and some others were the interviewers. All the questions were about sport, health, food and nutrition. The aim of the interview was to make them aware of the benefits of sport and the importance of healthy food.

In Lengua y Literatura they worked on some healthy recipes which were displayed on a poster and they recorded a video explaining them. Some of these videos plus the interviews in English were shown to 3º ESO in the library during one of the breaks.

In French, each student chose a sport and created a poster with information that included different aspects about the sport chosen: history, main rules, advantages and disadvantages, famous players…They also added a QR code to each poster which allowed to listen to 30 seconds audio which summarized the information.

To complete this healthy Learning Situation, the the Art students and their teacher painted a superb scene on one of the walls of the basketball pitch: “Sport and diversity”.

HAPPY SUMMER HOLIDAYS!!
