STEM challenge...accepted!

History and Science at the same time? Yes, please!!! This past week, #ESO1 students enjoyed a special ( and very sweet!) STEM challenge working out in teams how to model the legendary Biscuithenge with only@one packet of wafer biscuits during their #History session with Ms Paniagua and Ms Muñoz. Excellent communication skills and critical thinking were shown! Well done, students!!

Remembrance Day



Remembrance Day is a holiday held in UK on the second Sunday of November that commemorates British service members who have died in wars and other military conflicts since the onset of World War I. It marks the day World War One ended, at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, back in 1918. By tradition, a two-minute period of silence is observed throughout the country at 11 AM, and church services and other ceremonial gatherings take place during the day. A nationally televised remembrance service has been held for decades at the Cenotaph monument in central London. 

In the days leading up to Remembrance Day, there are many people on the TV and in the streets wearing a poppy. This is a symbol to remember those who have lost their lives in conflicts around the world,due to the famous poem In Flanders Fields.
Holidays similar to Remembrance Day are still celebrated on November 11 in other countries such as United States, Australia,Canada and France.

This morning in class we learned about this festivity. Do you like the poppies we made?😊


El Día del Recuerdo o Día de la Amapola se celebra en el Reino Unido el segundo domingo de noviembre para conmemorar a los soldados británicos que han fallecido en guerras y otros conflictos militares desde la Primera Guerra Mundial. El día 11 de noviembre marca el fin de dicha guerra. Desde hace décadas, se guardan dos minutos de silencio a las 11 am, pues es la hora a la que entró en vigor el armisticio, y se lleva a cabo un acto que es retransmitido por televisión,al que asisten políticos, líderes religiosos y miembros de la familia real.
Durante el mes de noviembre es tradición lucir una amapola en la solapa, símbolo de este día gracias al poema "En los Campos de Flandes".
El día 11 hay celebraciones similares en países tales como Estados Unidos, Australia, Canadá y Francia

Esta mañana hemos estado aprendiendo sobre esta tradición,¿os gustan nuestras flores?

Alumnos de #ESO1 muestran sus trabajos sobre los tipos de célula y practican jugando al tradicional ¿Quién es quién? con motivo de la #semanadelacienciaylatecnología en Extremadura.

International Tonguetwister Day

 


Did you know it’s International Tongue twister day on Sunday?

How fast can you say the following tongue twister with a clear pronunciation?
‘If a dog chews shoes, whose shoes does he choose?’

According to The Guinness Book of World Records, the toughest tongue twister is 'The sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick'. Give it a go!!

 ¿Sabías que el próximo domingo es el Día Internacional del Trabalenguas? Te dejamos algunos para que practiques.

How do fireworks get their colours?

 

Last Monday during their #PhysicsandChemistry session with Ms Mateos and Ms Muñoz our #ESO2 students learnt about the chemistry involved in fireworks to discover how they get their bright and breathtaking colours. What a great way to celebrate our very own ( and very safe!) Guy Fawkes’ firework display for #semanadelacienciaylatecnologíaenextremadura. We made ‘inverted or flipped fireworks’, which worked wonders ( despite having a minor hiccup during the process!).


Esta semana los alumn@s de #ESO2 tuvieron ocasión de aprender cómo se consigue el color en los fuegos artificiales en #PhysicsandChemistry para conmemorar nuestra noche de Guy Fawkes particular y la #semanadelacienciaylatecnologíaenextremadura.
