MET First Meeting

Last Saturday, May 31st, our students of 1º and 2º ESO MET took part in the presentation of  all the projects carried out throughout the year.

Students of 1º ESO started by presenting the Project "English in the World", worked in the English lessons but especially worked in English  Workshop classes. A project  which was the contribution in English to the first MET project " Languages and Speakers",  carried out in our three languages.

Then, they explained how they made their project about biographies of famous comedians or people related to humour."Humour" was the topic for our second MET project in the three languages. They showed us their PPTs about Martin Lawrence and Juan Tamariz.

Finally the students of Drama Workshop performed one of the sketches and songs of their musical "Funny School Times-2"

After these lines, you can watch some videos of the students presenting their projects during the MET First Meeting. Some more videos can be watched through the links in this post.



During the next period, students of  2º ESO also presented their MET projects, which they had prepared in the subjects they learn in English. English language, Citizenship, English Workshop and T-COM.

So, different teams presented different projects from different points of views.

One of the teams talked about the tales they wrote as part of their first project. Another team explained the different steps they had taken to develop their second project, which was performed alive by three other students. In this second project, they worked about how Celebrities and NGOs help in case of Natural Disasters, the common topic in the three languages.

 The group that takes part in T-COM showed their posters about "Biomes" and the problems the Earth is facing nowadays. 

. . .and finally, as the last part of the  project, they showed the materials created about NGOs and celebrities' cooperation. To conclude, the pupils who study religion in euskara also showed their work on NGOs.

Our MET responsible teacher said "bye-bye" to the audience at the end of the meeting.

COIN Batxilergoan

We worked hard in our COIN lessons during the second and third school terms en D model, 1.4, 1.5 and 2.4 batxilergoa.
We all learned how to make a poster on the internet; it's called glogster. We read articles, watched DVDs, listened to interviews... about risky sports and then we made the glogster about the sport we liked most.





 Our most important project was on English Speaking Countries, India, New Zealand, UK, the USA, South Africa, Ireland, Canada and Australia. We searched and worked hard on the country we chose and made a document and a PPT which included lots of useful information and a history timeline; we ended the project planning a trip.
 If you want to fall in love with Canada (I did) or know some more about UK, watch these beautiful presentations.



And our last project was a recipe. We watched Jamie Oliver cooking his fantastic recipes, learned that British food is not only Fish and Chips and dared to cook and bring the dishes to school.
Watch our students having a good time cooking

Tasty!
Delicious!
Yummy!

Dearest Karmele,

We have shared a lot of moments together. We have worked with enthusiasm and   illusion, together. We have dreamt about doing things better, together, and we have tried it. We have enjoyed life with our pupils and suffered from and for them, also together. And, together, we have learnt how to live life and be a bit wiser.

And in such a short time, we have done something special:

“Leave a part of ourselves to the others, so that, when you are away, you won’t go alone and can feel us by your side”

We will never forget you.

Save the Planet (a T-COM Project)

T-COM students have been working on a project in which they have followed several steps. First, they have learnt the Earth is in danger. They have learnt about Global Warming, the Green House Effect and the Ecological Footprint. Second, being aware of the problems we have and investigating how the different Biomes and Earth are suffering, they have looked for information focused on the following aspects: Location of their biome, climate, animals, plants and problems. Third, in pairs they have made a poster including the information they have gathered previously and finally, they have made an oral presentation for the rest of the class. Some of their oral presentations were recorded and you can have a look at them.

            It has been a satisfactory task and students have not only learnt while elaborating, but also enjoyed it.

Performance of Funny School Times - 2

Today the students of 1ºESO-1 taking part in our School Trilingual Project -Drama Workshop- have performed the musical Funny School Times -2

They have been working hard for four months to prepare the play. Furthermore, in the last weeks they have worked overtime to do their most on the stage.

Parents and friends have enjoyed not only the musical but also some  project presentations the students have shown during the play as part of it.

Finally, parents and  friends have posed to have a picture of the event together.

Congratulations!

Funny School Times -2, A new play for Drama Workshop students

Drama Workshop in 1º ESO-1 goes on working hard. We have seen them on the school bus going to class...

and we have also seen them in an incident out of school. We don't exactly know what has happened.  It seems that a couple of gangsters... Fortunately the Ertzaintza arrived on time.

After Funny School Times -1, the students felt a bit bored in class and decided to change things and live more intensively at school. First, they imagined a "free trip" by train,

then they gave birth to
an urban legend on the stage...

But that's only the beginning.

Soon, next Thursday 16th, at 19:00 p.m. in the Salon de Actos, they will be performing the Musical 
FUNNY SCHOOL TIMES -2, full with stories and songs.

Families and friends are invited.

  Don't miss it!

They are looking forward to that date to perform...

And now, what?

When things go their own way and their way is right, sometimes they get to perfection. Not because they are perfect but because they have been done as they should.

Our American friends gave us a lesson of hospitality in Scituate. They opened their houses and hearts to us. We felt happy and fullfilled all our expectations and even more. It became a trip never to forget in our lives.

Best of Scituate from J. Carlos Martínez

Now they have been here. We have done our best and expect them to feel  as we felt.

It's sad to say goodbye, but we know that, wherever they are, they will remember us, as we do. And they know that, whenever they think of us, we'll be thinking of them at the same time.

Best of Getxo from J. Carlos Martínez

The bard already said: "All's well that ends well". And we add: "Good work done together well deserves a happy end".
