WE SAID "GOODBYE" TO RACHAEL

Our American language assistant Rachael Larson left school and Spain at the end of May. Some students of 4th year of ESO who usually came to talk to Rachael at the "English Corner"room during breaks, gave her a present and posed with her for this picture.

Los profesores del departamento también organizaron una comida para despedirla y la obsequiaron con un libro de recetas de cocina española.

All teachers and students will miss Rachael and we wish her all the best in life.

Thanks, Rachael!!

"THE BIG CHALLENGE"PRIZE GIVING CEREMONY

El pasado miércoles día 3 de junio, se dieron los premios a los participantes del concurso de inglés

The Big Challenge. All the participants got an English magazine and a diploma just for taking part in the quiz. As you can see in the pictures, the prizes were given according to the students' level.

The level with more participants was 1st year of ESO, where Sergio Sánchez and Roberto Granda got the 2nd and 3rd best score in Castilla-La Mancha. Apart from the diploma and the magazine,They were given a fantastic cup , an English dictionary and a CD about London.

En 2º de ESO la mejor clasificada del centro fue Aránzazu Ortíz seguida por Cristina Sobrino. The best score for 3rd of ESO in our school was Diana Alina Cornea, followed by Manuel Orihuela, but the students of the 3rd year couldn't come to the ceremony as they were on a school trip , that's the reason you can't find a picture of them!

Finalmente, en 4º de ESO, aunque la primera clasificada fue Diana Tejón Pérez, vemos posando con su premio a la segunda clasificada Sandra Ajenjo Muela junto con su profesora Olga Álvaro.

Congratulations to all the participants!! ¡ Os animamos a participar otra vez el próximo año!

SCHOOL TRIP TO ALCALÁ DE HENARES

On May 28th, the students of the bilingual group of 1styear of ESO had a school trip to Alcalá de Henares where they could see the Roman ruins of La casa de Hipólito, the Archaeological Museum and the Botanical Gardens. Los alumnos realizaron esta excursión a Alcalá con las profesoras Rosa Pinilla, Paola Martínez y con la asistente lingüística Rachael. We have selected a video of the trip, where you can see how they planned the visit while travelling on the train, and some photos where all of them look very happy.

PHOTOS OF THE BOOK FAIR

Two weeks ago, because of the "Day of the Book" celebration, we held a book fair in the lobby of our school. The students and teachers brought books to be sold for as low as 1 euro and the money collected was sent to Malawi for the building of a secondary school in a project directed by the NGO " Manos Unidas". In this way, we had the opportunity to buy books ( some of them with a personal dedication) at a very cheap price and at the same time to help underprivileged people.

The fair book lasted for 3 days and it was quite a success. 329'60 euros were collected, which have already been put into the "Manos Unidas" bank account. Thanks to all of you for your help! We hope we will count on you again next year!

Hace dos semanas, con motivo de la celebración del "Dia del libro" , montamos en el hall del centro un rastrillo de libros . Los alumnos y profesores trajeron libros para vender al módico precio de 1 euro y el dinero recogido se envió a Malawi para financiar la construcción de una escuela secundaria, dentro de un proyecto de la ONG "Manos Unidas". De esta manera, tuvimos la oportunidad de comprar libros ( algunos de ellos con dedicatoria personal incluída) a muy buen precio y al mismo tiempo pudimos ayudar a gente menos privilegiada que nosotros.

El rastrillo duró 3 días y fue todo un éxito. Se recaudaron 329,60 euros que se han ingresado en la correspondiente cuenta bancaria de "Manos Unidas". ¡Muchas gracias a todos por vuestra participación y esperamos volver a contar con vosotros el año que viene.!
