Population pyramids

Our country's population has changed a lot during the last 100 years, so we have decided to look for information and understand why those changes have taken place.

We have chosen a pyramid from the beginning of the 20th century, another one from mid century and the most recent one (2017-2019 approx). 

This task is included in a series of activities related to CLIL. CLIL stands for Content and Language Integrated Learning and refers to teaching subjects such as science, history and geography to students through a foreign language.

Informal emails

New ways of communication have appeared since we work with computers and the internet. We don't write as many letters as we used to do, but now we write emails. Informal emails are very common and although our students don't use this way very often, they can write very good texts. Have a look.

A blog post

You may think this is a weird post, because... it is. 3rd ESO students have created blog entries as if they were posting them. Some of them have chosen more traditional formats, as word documents, while others have chosen different digital tools on line. The posts are about some of their favourite activities. A wide range of texts. Enjoy!

Collaborative projects (again!)

This week, 2nd ESo students have started a new collaborative project. They have started to learn more about endangered species as the Siberian tiger, panda bears or whales. 

First of all, they have decided which animals they want to learn about. Afterwards, they have started browsing different sites and thanks to digital tools they are saving the information (features, habitat, why these animals are endangered...).

Once the information has been found, they are going to create a presentation, using either Canva, Glogster or Prezi. 

Today we want to show you how they have worked today. You will be able to see their productions soon.

Ancient Egypt

1st ESO students are also learning History in English. They have been working with computers and have done some projects about Tutankhamun, who was an important Pharaoh in Ancient Egypt. As a result, they have learnt many curious things about this king, his treasure, his curse... Tutankhamun was born 'Tutankhaten' during the Amarna period, probably at the capital, Akhetaten (Tell el-Amarna). The identity of his parents is disputed but they were perhaps Akhenaten and his lesser wife Kiya; the boy was a royal prince and ascended the throne at the age of about eight years. Tutankhamun married Ankhesenpaaten, daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti. Recently, Tutankhamun mask has been in the news because some workers accidentally broke it and used glue to restore the broken parts. You can read more here. 1st ESO students have been studying about the first river civilisations and they have produced some interesting pieces of work, using different techniques: powerpoint presentations, word documents, prezi presentations... We are sure you will like them.

INVERTEBRATES - ONE OF TWO MAJOR ANIMAL GROUPINGS

There are two basic groups of higher animals. They are vertebrates and invertebrates. While both have advanced through the processes of evolution, there is one fundamental difference. Invertebrates do not have backbones. Both groups are in the Kingdom Animalia, but their bodies are organized differently. What makes invertebrates different? All invertebrates share common traits. At the bottom of the invertebrate world are the sponges. Sometimes they don't fit in but they are still part of the group. In class we have been studying invertebrates and here you will see some of the projectes made by 1st ESO students. For more information visit this website and try the proposed quizzes.

Science

We like larning English and Science, so we have worked about cells. We have learnt there are prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells. There are also differences between animal and plant cells.

We have also worked about the five kingdoms in nature and the criteria scientists follow to classify living beings.

We hope you like our projects.
