Let's work!

     El curso empezó ya casi hace dos meses y alcanzó su ritmo natural, inmersos por fin en el 2018/19. El departamento de bilingüismo ya funciona dentro de esta dinámica aportando su sello en las distintas materias.

     The school year began nearly two months ago and we teachers in the bilingualism program are already working on new activities for the different subjects.

     We are preparing all the Halloween stuff as we usually do but many teachers are developing exercises focusing on the bilingual aspects of education. We are used to dealing with English written texts about different themes for science, maths, technology, music or history lessons, working out vocabulary lists to enrich our knowledge on diverse subjects or supporting our lessons with the help of our English-language assisstants. This year, since our number of students rises and the importance of our program grows, we have two assistants; so far we have always had just one foreign student to help us.

     There are two activities which seemed really appealing. Julia, our Biology teacher, encouraged her students to sculpt colourful cells with all their tiny weird parts, some students showed real masterpieces but what I really liked was that some were made of CANDY!!! On the other hand, our Social Studies teacher Juan Miguel suggested Nickee, one of our American assistants, to introduce herself by a lesson through which she talked about American money (banknotes and coins) which was very exciting for most kids.
