Some things to remember

Photo gallery 1st Bilingual 2006/7

We are finishing this course 2006/7 . It's been a special year for you as you have been our first bilingual group . Here are some photographs taken at school that will help you to remember moments, teachers and friends.

Bilingual schools meeting

The 16th of April we celebrated a meeting with a bilingual school from Málaga called Salvador Rueda. They came by bus and we waited fot them at Plaza de España. We organized the groups with stickers of different colours. They had to work on a Gymkhana about different places in Seville: Plaza de España, Alcázar and Mª Luisa's Park. It was great fun to see the students looking for the answers running from one place to another, although at the Alcazar we made a lot of noise and a guide complained about us!!!!
After the visit to the Alcazar we had lunch at Murillo park. Some of the students had taken a ball with them and they started a football match Málaga vs Seville. It was very exciting for them and they enjoyed a lot. We couldn't finish the Gymkhana at Mª Luisa's park. It was too hot and they were too tired. In the end they all said goodbye sadly, some of them hugging and crying. We are planning to travel to Málaga next June.

European Language Portfolio

The European Language Portfolio is a document in which those who are learning or have learned a language - whether at school or outside school - can record and reflect on their language learning and cultural experiences.
We are using The ELP (PEL in Spanish)in our school for evaluation and self evaluation. This document was developed and piloted by the Council of Europe and it is a tool to develop plurilingualisn and pluriculturalism. We can situate our level in different languages according to the Common Levels of Reference (A1 / A2 / B1 /B2 C1 / C2) and at the same time we can refect on what type of learners we are, or how differently people speak our language or what languages we can listen around us.
We are working oral skills in the way you can see in the photograph.

We set goals and then prove we can do it.

First of ESO Bilingual students made a project called "The World in my school" to know the students who come from other countries, their languages and a little bit of their culture. . Here you can see some photographs of the project.

Etwinning project

Do you know Etwinning?

Etwinning is part of a European Programme which promotes inter-school partnership. The schools which become partners share an internet based class project. Last year we started an etwinning project with an English school from Gloucestershire. The name of our partner school is Chosen Hill School.

The Spanish teacher at Chosen Hill School is called Miss Elena Mai Evans. (Apparently "Elena" is the name of a Welsh queen). She visited our school last year and we organized and discussed our class project. Our students exchanged emails and posters about our cities and our countries.

Here you can an example of the English students' work:

This year we have started exchanging letters with our 12 year old students.

Our language assistants

Thanks to the fact that we have a Bilingual Section at school we have three language assistants this year. They come from different countries and we are very happy to learn different things from them. Here you have them:
