BILINGUAL ACTIVITIES

III IESLA BILINGUAL OLYMPIC GAMES

In April, we celebrated the III IESLA Olympic Games, a fantastic inter-school sporting event that brought together our 2nd-year ESO students and the 6th-grade pupils from our affiliated bilingual school, Nuestro Padre Jesús.

The event was a wonderful opportunity to promote sportsmanship, friendship, teamwork and cooperation among students from both schools. One of the highlights of the day was the parade of flags, featuring representatives of the different countries accompanied by their coaches, creating a truly Olympic atmosphere.

We would also like to highlight the invaluable collaboration of our 4th-year ESO students, who played an important role in the organisation of the event by taking on different responsibilities, including working as referees, coaches and assistants.

As in previous editions, the participants enjoyed water and fruit throughout the day. This year, however, we introduced an exciting new feature during the medal ceremony: the medals were designed and produced by our own school and students using 3D printers. The students who reached the podium received their respective gold, silver and bronze medals, specially designed with elements representing both our school and the Olympic event.

It was a day full of sport, enthusiasm, friendship and Olympic spirit, creating unforgettable memories for everyone involved.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all the teachers, staff and students who helped make this event possible through their dedication, support and enthusiasm.

Below, you can find a brief review of the event published on our website, along with some photos capturing the best moments of the day.

TRIP TO CORDOBA

Last 29 April, the Year 8 students travelled to Córdoba to enjoy a day of learning and social interaction. This visit, organised by the Bilingualism Department in collaboration with the Geography and History Department, gave them the opportunity to see first-hand some of the topics they have been studying in class throughout the school year.

II IESLA BILINGUAL OLYMPIC GAMES

Last May 7th, we celebrated the II IESLA Olympic Games, a fun sports event with the participation of our 1st year ESO students, along with the 6th grade students from our affiliated bilingual school, Nuestro Padre Jesús, who joined us for part of the morning. It was a day full of sports, friendship, and teamwork, where everyone enjoyed showing their Olympic spirit in different activities. An unforgettable experience we’ll be looking forward to repeating next year! We would like to extend our thanks to everyone who made this event possible — teachers, staff, students,...— for their support and enthusiasm. Below, we leave you with a brief review of the event that was published in our webpage and some photos capturing the best moments. 

BILINGUAL TRIPS

On April 2nd, our 2nd and 3rd year ESO students enjoyed two very special outings. 2nd ESO students visited Córdoba, while 3rd ESO students explored the Riotinto Mining Park. Both trips were held in a bilingual format (English-Spanish), an activity we organise every year because our students truly enjoy it and it gives them the chance to learn beyond the classroom. Here you have the reviews that were published about these trips on our school’s website.

 GIVEN WORDS

We’d like to share a creative writing activity called GIVEN WORDS, created by New Zealand writer Michael Olsen. The task is simple: students write a poem that includes five given words. This time, the words are: whisper, time, eat, feather, and phantasmagoric. Below, you’ll find a selection of poems written by our students. We hope you enjoy their creative work.

 IESLA OLYMPIC BILINGUAL GAMES

IESLA AND ITS SHINY OLYMPIC GAMES 

Last May, our school held its first annual School Olympic Games, an event that brought together students from 3rd ESO to compete in different sports. It was a very funny experience since we were all doing sport together. During the morning, all the students showed their skills in different disciplines such as handball, ultimate or running and the importance of teamwork. The day ended with amazing awards which recognised the effort of each participant and highlighted everyone’s talents. It was a highly successful and enjoyable day for all. We should repeat it, we had a great time with our classmates. Thank you, teachers! 

The students made some interviews to their classmates and they talked about different aspects of the IESLA OLYMPIC GAMES,  such as their possibilites of winning a medal. The ones that can be scanned below are from Alejandro Roncel and Alejandro Salvador (3ºESO-A), Elena Ramírez and Lucía Ríos (3ºESO-A) and Gonzalo Rodríguez and Jairo Vega (3ºESO-C).
