Milan-Valencia. Day 3.

This was the first day we went to San Felice´s school. Some students had to wake up very early in the morning, but I was hosted very near to the school. I only had to walk for 2 minutes to arrive. I think I was very lucky, because I could wake up at 8:00. When I opened my eyes every morning, I had my breakfast on the table. I think Leonardo (my Italian partner) has a very good mother.

 At half past eight, we all were at their school. We had a little tour. Its' a very good school, in my opinion. It´s big and its gardens are green an beautiful. Maybe (probably) it´s better than ours.

Later, we went to a very big room and some of our Italian partners, like mine, Leo, did a little introduction about Milan. They used photos and they put it on a big screen with the computer. After that, some people (like me) had lunch at the school. I really liked the school´s cafeteria.

So, later we went to Milan by bus. We met at the Duomo, but we didn't enter, because we were going to do it next Thursday.

The Duomo, the cathedral of Milan.

 Then, we had free time to eat something. Some of us  ate Panzzerotti (the best take away food ever, really) in a small shop near to the Duomo. The shop´s queue was all the street long.

Then, we met at the Duomo again, and we did a “treasure hunt”. We had to answer some questions in groups, walking around Milan. This was my group: Leo (my partner), David Ribó, Ricardo (David´s partner)  Elena Baquedano and Ilaria (Elena´s partner). We walked around a cathedral and trough the “Piazza Fontana”. Finally, we return to the Duomo (again).

We were the second group that completed the questions, so David and me had time to go to buy an ice cream to and ice cream shop that Carmen (David´s mother and our English teacher too) recommended to us. I have to thank Carmen for doing that, because that was the best ice cream I have ever eaten .

After that, we returned to our homes. Leo, David (because he had to sleep with us) and I were very tired, so after having dinner, we went to sleep.

Intercanvi escolar amb Itàlia

Del 18 al 25 de setembre tindrà lloc l'intercanvi escolar amb l'Istituto di istruzione superiore Niccolo Machiavelli de Milà. Els nostres alumnes retornaran la visita que els alumnes italians ens van fer el proppassat mes d'abril. 

Durant aquests dies els nostres alumnes, acompanyats pels professors que participen al projecte, compartiran experiències amb els alumnes italians i les seues famílies, alhora que assistiran al centre escolar italià i realitzaran una sèrie d'activitats culturals, entre les quals destaquen la visita a la Catedral de Milà, la visita a l'obra mestra de Leonardo de Vinci, "l'últim sopar", així com un trekking per la regió de Cinqueterre i  la visita de Gènova o Portofino.

Participació en les II Jornades AICLE

Els professors del nostre centre, Antoni Cassany i Marioty Peiró, han participat avui com a ponents en les II jornades AICLE (Aprenentatge Integrat de  Continguts i Llengües) que han tingut lloc a la Universitat Jaume I de Castelló.

En la seua comunicació van descriure al public assistent una de les experiències d'ensenyament plurilíngüe que es van desenvolupar al nostre centre  al llarg del curs escolar 2008-09

Biology in English

Dins del projecte d'innovació educativa que està portant a terme el nostre centre durant el present curs, els alumnes de Biologia de 4 ESO han tingut l'oportunitat de rebre classes pràctiques d'anglés alhora que estudiaven  evolució i ecologia , per part de l'assistent lingüístic, Philip Davis, natural de Manchester (Anglaterra). A més d'aquests alumnes de l'assignatura de Biologia, altres alumnes de diferents cursos de l'ESO van poder aprofitar la seua presència en les classes de l'assignatura d'anglés per poder millorar la seua fluidesa i la seua confiança en l'anglés oral.

L'experiència ha estat molt satisfactòria tant pels alumnes participants com per al professorat implicat. L'alumna de 4 ESO C, Sofia Soler, ens explica en anglés, les seues impressions: 

Last Monday we had the last lesson with Philip, a British boy who came to our center to help us with the English activities we work in our Biology class. The exercises we did were easy but  we learned English and also Biology! He taught us vocabulary, some grammar but in my opinion the most useful skills  we learned were  pronunciation and  oral expression. It’s really different to speak with a native person than with foreigner speakers like us because English is not our mother tongue.

Furthermore the lessons were different; for exemple, we drew an "adapted "animal we have imagined. The purpose of all this, to learn  evolution and the Darwin’s theory in a funny and productive way: learning both Biology amd English and having fun.

Finally I just want to say thank you and goodbye to Philip. We all hope to see him again.

Els alumnes de Biologia de 1 BAT realitzen un telenotícies de medi ambient

Arran de la visita a les platges de Benicàssim del més d'abril, els alumnes de primer de Batxillerat han treballat les noves tecnologies i han fet treballs molt interessanst com aquest telenotícies protagonitzat i realitzat pels propis alumnes que teniu a continuació:

També us posem un fragment del treball d'altres alumnes. L'alumnes Ramón Bixquert  parla de com era la pesca abans i ara.
