GOING UNDERGROUND
Our 1st, 2nd and 3rd ESO students went to the theatre yesterday... to the theatre in English.
The dynamic theatre company Moving ON performed the play Going Underground at the Casa de la Cultura in Valmojado.
We had a great time. It was particularly funny the moment when some of the students came up on stage and became actors for a while.

The American Constitution and the Human Rights
Last thursday, 3rd of December, our students in the 2nd level of bachillerato attended a presentation on the American Constitution, given by Mark Leephaibul, our Auxiliar de conversación.
It was a really nice and interesting talk through which he reviewed some of the most remarkable moments in the history of the American Constitution: the Independence of the USA, the founder fathers, the Bill of Rights and its relation with the Human Rights.
Thanks to Mark, the students were able to learn something about this topic and listen to a native English speaker.

GUY FAWKES: Remember, remember the 5th of November!
Guy Fawkes is celebrated in the UK on the 5th of November. Guy Fawkes was the leader of a group of Catholic conspirators who tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament and kill the Protestant king James I, using 36 barrels of gunpowder. Then, this was called The Gunpowder Plot. It's now common to celebrate Guy Fawkes with fireworks and bonfires, that's why this holiday is also called The Bonfire Night.

2009 /10: A NEW ACADEMIC YEAR, NEW CHALLENGES
A new academic year has just started. Our students in the European Section reached 3rd ESO,
It seems like only yesterday!!!
There are around 110 pupils studying in our Section this year, distributed in two 1st ESO groups, A and B, one 2nd and one 3rd ESO groups, A and B respectively.
Apart from the increasing number of students, two new Departments join the Section: Physics & Chemistry and Art, and some new teachers from these and other Departments.
We want to wish all the students, teachers and people working at “Cañada Real School”, a nice year from this blog.
At this time we close with a quotation from Zig Ziglar, an American writer: You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

Celebrating Edgar Allan Poe's anniversary
La figura del escritor norteamericano Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) ha sido el hilo conductor para la celebración del Día del Libro por parte de nuestro Departamento de Inglés. En la biblioteca del centro, nuestros alumnos y alumnas han visitado una exposición sobre la vida y obra del autor, junto a diversos artículos periodísticos, aparecidos recientemente en la prensa de nuestro país con motivo del 200 aniversario de su nacimiento.
Esta pequeña exposición, coincidió con otra organizada por el Departamento de Lengua y Literatura sobre novela gótica.
La visita concluía con la proyección de las adaptaciones en versión original de dos obras de este autor: A Tell Tale Heart y The Raven.

Visita al Toledo de las tres culturas
“La excursión me ha gustado mucho porque aunque era en inglés nos hemos enterado de casi todo” (Pamela 2º D)
“La excursión me ha gustado mucho porque estaba con mis amigas, vimos Toledo y aunque lo dijeron en inglés me enteré de bastante” (Sandra 2º D).
Ha sido una experiencia muy novedosa y positiva que pensamos repetir en años venideros.
