Andalucía's Day


In 1981 a statute of autonomy was established which recognized the right to autonomy for the different Spanish regions and nationalities. In Andalucía this is celebrated on February 28th because the referendum that passed the statute took place on that date.
Most schools commemorate this day with a typical Andalusian breakfast consisting of a sandwich with olive oil and sugar. In my school some students read articles of the Andalusian statute of autonomy while others hoist the two official flags . Andalucía's flag is green white and green.
The anthem of Andalucía talks about peace, hope and freedom in Andalucía, Spain and all over the world.
The coat of arms represents the figure of Hercules between two pillars,
traditionally identified with the Strait of Gibraltar, and it has an inscription at the bottom that says: "Andalucía by itself, for Spain and for the rest of
humanity”.

Yesterday they chose two cards: the first one with the best design made buy Marta Torres and the second one with the best content made by José Carlos Rodríguez. Below you can see what José Carlos wrote, the cover of Marta's card and the other Valentine's cards made by the rest of the students in the class.

Dear ................... ,
You are pretty and I love you very much
because you are special and sweet. Today
is Valentine's day and I hope you will be my Valentine.
I also wrote this poem to give you today:

Roses are red,
violets are blue,
I'll kiss you and hug you
because you love me too.
Your Valentine

This month's song is ... Heal the World by Michael Jackson

On January 30th, World Peace Day is celebrated in many countries, as it was the day in which one of the most significant peace leaders, Mahatma Gandhi, was assassinated. This song will help us to commemorate this date and the video will make us reflect on the real needs of the world around us.


Feudal Town Models

The bilingual students of 2º ESO A-B created these amazing feudal town models as a project for the Social Science class. They reflected the main characteristics of feudal towns and used basic materials to make these great copies showing what towns were like in medieval times.
