SAINT PATRICK’S DAY 2021

                           

   

On 17th March ESO students have been learning about Irish culture through the celebration of Saint Patrick’s Day. They have done some research on typical Irish terms like Shamrock, Eire or Gaelic. They have also been working on the tradition of Saint Patrick’s Day and finally they have taken part in an Irish dancing workshop in which they have experienced what an Irish jig is. If you want to feel the «Irish experience» at Élaios, click on the image below to see the video:

CHEMICAL ELEMENTS: THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF THE UNIVERSE

The chemical elements are the building blocks which the Universe is made of. Everything around us, even ourselves, is built up with them, atom by atom. Opposite the library you can see the Periodic Table that Physics and Chemistry teacher Fabiola Lacueva’s 2nd ESO students have built «cube by cube» and «cell by cell».

 

Each side of the cubes shows the information about each chemical element. Some of the cubes are in Spanish and some others in English (the latter made by 2nd ESO BRIT students). The different colours of cardboard help to distinguish between metals (purple), semimetals (light green), nonmetals (dark green) and noble gases (orange). As for the ink colour of the written text, it represents the different usual physical states, that is to say, black for solids, red for liquids and green for gases.

                

Love and Covid

During the second and third weeks of February, 2nd ESO BRIT students have also been practising both their written and oral skills. So they have invented moving letters to comfort all the people who are undergoing this gruesome pandemic.  Here is the result: two wonderful interactive books with the students’ creations, edited by teachers of English Irene Aixalá and Pilar Berruete. Hope you’ll like them!

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF WOMEN AND GIRLS IN SCIENCE (11th February)

BRIT Biology teachers Ana Cristina Arnal, Chelo Calavia and David Salas have shown bilingual and non-bilingual 1st ESO students an artistic exhibition by two famous painters and naturalists: MARIA SIBYLLA MERIEN (17th century) and MARTA CHIRINO (21st century). Then it’s been the students’ turn to imitate them and draw insects seen through a magnifying glass. In this way the students have reinforced their knowledge on insects and they have understood the importance of these women for Science.
