Halloween: Edgar Allan Poe and his wives

This year we have devoted Halloween to the author Edgar Allan Poe and his horror works, paying special attention to his wives and the important role they played in his life and works.

Our school hall has been decorated accordingly and lots of projects have sprung from our idea.

• Students have transcribed Poe's poems and decorated them in English and Arts.

• They have recreated Poe's atmosphere by designing all the props from his works

• Other students have created spooky designs by using recycled materials to make penholders. (RECAPACICLA).

• FPB students have performed one of Poe's works

• Our teachers acted on a play recreating the story of Poe's wives.

Here are some pictures to show you how much fun we had.

Also, our PMAR students have created a "scientists cemetery" with the biographies of different influential scientis. They have displayed it on the school orchard and other students have had the opportunity to visit it. Here's a short video of how it was:

They have given a second life to different pieces of clothing that have been donated to our school and have created different designs to modernize them. The main objective of this project is to put the spotlight on the fast consuming fashion industry and raise awareness to reuse clothes. 

...and after that, they have of course modeled for us at the school :) 

thanks to our bilingual students who have presented the fashion show both in English and Spanish.
