This week, our school has had the pleasure of welcoming four guests fron the Italian Secondary School G.B. Vico in Laterza (Italy) as part of the Erasmus+ Job Shadowing programme.

They have immersed themselves in daily schoo life, taking part in classes, exchanging ideas with our teachers and reflecting on how different educational approaches can benefit students across Europe.  Beyornd the classroom, the exchange has given us all a vluable opportunity to discuss key topics such as  curiculum design, school managemente, bilingual education and the challenges of modern education in a globalised world. It has been a truly enriching experience. Grazie mille e ...

  To celebrate World Book Day and Jane Austen's 250th birth anniversary, students have participated in a continuous bilingual reading of the novel Pride and Prejudice, simultaneously in Spanish and English. Different groups of 2nd, 3rd and 1st of Bachillerato took turns reading aloud throughout the day, from the second to the last period, filling the school library with Austen's words and uniting literature and language learning .   

  Some awesome lapbooks have been created by our 1st year students. The topic, as most of the activities done during this week, is the life and works of Jane Austen. The younger ones have also learnt about this wonderful writer we are honoring to celebrate the World Book Day.              

 4th of ESO students have brought literature to life by performing adaptations of "Pride and Prejudice" and "Emma" . With short, modernised scripts and creative staging, they have captured the essence of Jane Austen's characters and themes, making her timeless stories accessible and engaging.        

  The result of the work is a visually striking and thoughtful poster that captures the spirit of Jane Austen's work. Filled with carefully selected quotes and elegant designs, it showcases the students' creativity and appreciation for literature. Congratulations to all the participants.        

    Our Erasmus+ mobility in Kristiansand has come to an end, emotions were high on their final day. After a week full of learning and unforgettable experiences, it is time to say goodbye to our wonderful host families, partner school and new friends. Before heading to the airport, they have exchanged contact details and lots of hugs. Many students are already planning to stay in touch and hopefully meet again. This week has been a truly enriching experience, full of cultural discovery, friendship and personal growth. Tusen takk, Kristiansand,  thank you for everything! 

  Wednesday and Thursday have been dedicated to cultural learning. As part of the Erasmus+ cultural programme in Kristiansand, our group enjoyed two fascinating visits that brought them closer to Norway's natural environment: the Kristiansand zoo and the local botanic gardens. At the Kristiansand Zoo and Amusement Park, students discovered a wide variety of Nordic animals, such as lynxes, wolves and moose, as well as species from other parts of the world. Thursday was dedicated to the botanic gardens at the Agder Natural History Museum. These two visits added a deeper appreciation for the ntural beaurty of NOrway and reminded us how important it is to preserve it.  On Thursday, the group also discovered the ancient roots of the Norwegian population by visiting a viking setting, a reconstruced Viking village, complete with traditional longhouses, wooden boats and everyday tools fromover a thousand years ago.

English and Biology have been two of the subjects they have been able to experience the Norwegian way, both, of course, in English, though some native words are already in their vocabulary.  

  To celebrate the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth, some students have prepared a beautiful poster with quotes from her books. The activity highlights her wit, insight and timeless contribution to literature, bringing her words tolife in a creative way.
