IDIOMAS

Students of English at Élaios had taken part in a lot of activities along this term, such as the trips to Whitstable (UK), the visits to the cinema and the one-day trips to visit «La Aljafería» and the «Parque del Agua«. 

Apart from those, English BRIT students had participated in the traditional Spelling Bee contests from 1st to 4th ESO, and a lot of English students have been awarded their diplomas of Oral Skills with their Chatterbox cards.

On 26th January and on 9th February the English department offered 1st Bachillerato and 4th ESO students the possibility to go to the cinema and see «Avatar: The Way of Water» in English with Spanish subtitles. It has been a long time since this type of motivating activities was done at school because of the pandemic. So we hope to continue it in the near future.

 

                 

 

Students of the English BRIT programme have shown their spelling skills in the Spelling Bee contests of the different subjects, in which Carly, our American assistant, has played an important role. We would like to congratulate the Spelling Bee winners and also the winners of the Diplomas of Oral Skills, who have proved their enthusiastic oral participation in English in the different subjects taught in English at school. 

Apart from that, this year we are really proud to announce our three creative winners of the «Ugly Sweater Contest«: Irene Joven, Celia Molpeceres and Marina Sotoca. Thank you very much to all those students involved. You cannot forget that all these activities depend on the envolvement of the students. Thanks a lot to the teachers who have helped to make it possible.

Last November students at Élaios celebrated Thanksgiving and learnt how important it is for the people in the USA. In some classes they even had the chance to know how Carly, our American assistant this year, used to celebrate it back home. What’s more, some students could watch the interview between Carly and Lucía, our 1st Bachillerato student in Ohio this year. In this interview they answered questions about life in Spain, life in the USA and questions about the traditions of Fiestas del Pilar and Thanksgiving.

Dentro del Plan de Convivencia e Igualdad del IES Élaios, y financiadas dentro de las Acciones pacto de estado contra la violencia de género 2022, del Ministerio de Igualdad y la DGA, el Departamento de Inglés del Élaios ha realizado (con Inspira, Asociación para la Convivencia) varias actividades de «escape room«, en inglés, con los estudiantes de 3º de ESO, sobre mujeres científicas. 

La «escape room» se llamaba «El Enigma de la Memoria de las Científicas» y tuvo lugar los días 24 y 25 de noviembre (conmemorando así el Día Internacional para la Eliminación de la Violencia contra la Mujer), en inglés, con el alumnado de 3º de ESO en la Biblioteca del centro.

Además de las «escape rooms», en el recreo, la misma asociación y el Dpto. de Inglés han ofrecido a todo el alumnado interesado, dos talleres para la realización de «Chapas por la igualdad», uno en inglés y otro en español.

Con motivo de Halloween, se mostraron 3 cortos en inglés y en español y se explicaron algunos detalles sobre ellos. ¡Los alumnos se lo pasaron «de miedo»!

El pasado mes de septiembre se celebró el «Día Europeo de las Lenguas», como ya viene siendo tradicional en el Élaios, pero esta vez, con la inestimable ayuda del PIEE (con Paz y Chuan), el Programa del BRIT Inglés organizó, durante un recreo, un taller de «banderas saladas» donde varias alumnas voluntarias de 1º y 2º de ESO pudieron crear sus propias banderas con sal teñida de tizas de colores. Aquí debajo podéis ver un vídeo corto de la actividad.

Last September the European Day of Languages was celebrated at Élaios High School, following the tradition. However, this time, with the priceless help of PIEE (with Paz and Chuan), the English BRIT programme organised a workshop on «Salty Flags» at breaktime; Several 1st and 2nd students took part willingly in the workshop. As a result, these students could create their own flags with salt dyed with colour chalk. Here below you can see a short video of the activity.
