It’s the festive season, the Yule tide, celebrated throughout England, and of course around Great Britain, with great joy, for the young and adults too! There are some curious traditions that commenced in ancient times, but we continue to celebrating them, although some have changed. (más…)

On the 24th March, in the class of 2nd ESO B at BRAINS school, we had an International and Intercultural Day; with food from all around the world: from France to China, passing through Paraguay, Italy and the United States. We had a lot of fun and tried all the food. It was delicious! Even Laura, our teacher, brought us some food. (más…)

In Citizenship we must first examine the individual  – the citizen –  before we can discuss how human beings can work together to build communities in which individuals, and society as a whole, can flourish. 
So, we began the year by examining our individual identity: what makes each person unique and different from all others.  We looked at various aspects of our identity such as our physical characteristics, our talents and abilities, our personality traits, our social groups, our likes and dislikes and the personal memories that have helped to shape us as we’ve grown.  The students had to then represent their identity in the form of a ME COLLAGE in which they used words, photographs, drawings and symbols to show others these aspects of their real selves in a way that was creative and eye-catching.

Below is a sampling of ME COLLAGES from 2ºA, 2ºB, 2ºC, 2ºD and 2ºE.  Can you pick out your classmates, sisters, brothers and friends?  Can you discover sides of their personalities that you haven’t known about?

Andrea Navarro, 2º ESO E

El viernes 21 de Mayo, en clase inglés de la profesora Ana, los alumnos de 2º ESO E tuvimos que representar una escena del libro ABOMINATION, cuyo autor es Robert Swindells y que leímos entre la segunda y la tercera evaluación.

Nos dividimos en cinco grupos de tres  o cuatro personas y representamos la escena que cada grupo eligió.

Para hacerlo mejor, cada persona se ponía una prenda de ropa o algún complemento característico del personaje que les tocaba representar;  así, las enfermeras se ponían una bata o utilizaban tiritas y la cajera del supermercado una peluca o unas gafas, por ejemplo, y algunos ¡hasta trajimos comida para hacer que estábamos de verdad en el supermercado!

Fue una clase muy amena y divertida y todos nos lo pasamos muy bien.

A group of students from 1st of ESO of our school have prepared tour wonderful ‘Theatre Sketches’ to delight the rest of our groups which have just finished 2º evaluation exams.
