CULEMBORG MEETS MÁLAGA
A group of students from Koningin Wilhelmina College (KWC) in Culemborg will be visiting our high school in April. They will stay at our students' homes and will attend classes at Martiricos. We are preparing a complete programme of activities for them in Málaga and Córdoba.
In return, our students will spend a week with them in March. Museums and sports await for us in Utrecht and Amsterdam. It's great to have the opportunity of meeting friends from The Netherlands!

2017 Halloween
Uhmm, look at the way these Martiricos students enjoyed this jummy home made spooky Halloween food
Antonio and Rodri injected juicy sweet blood into their eye cheese cakes
Nico's pumpking cake hid gummy fingers crawling into 2º ESO A class
Carmen and Delia baked this huge eye that stared all of us for a very short time until it was eaten up
Jose won the most Halloween like award with his smiling cake
Miguel and Julio brought some mysterious fruit to the class
Angel and Mateo froze us all with their chocolate cake
But Halloween is not only a matter of 2ºESO students... look at these 1º Bachillerato ones...
There were gummy spiders and cookies
really elaborated chocolate cakes with skeletons and pumpkins on top
Creepy sweet spider eggs
chocolate pumpkins...
Blood elixir (Claudia's recipe improved by Joaquín)
and Donald Trump little heads
We are never too old to enjoy Halloween food at Martiricos
To make it different, there were even more surprises this Halloween...
Our FPB students prepared a horror show for their 1º ESO partners, and it turned out to be... terrific!
El filósofo francés Oscar Brenifier e Isabel Millon comparten gratuitamente su importante libro de pensamiento crítico Notebook of Philosophical Exercises. 111 Exercises to Practice Thinking. Es sumamente interesante para la clase de Filosofía de primero de Bachillerato.
En este enlace podéis descargar legalmente el libro en inglés y en este otro enlace la traducción en español por si tenéis algunas dudas en la lengua inglesa. ¿Os atrevéis a hacer los ejercicios en inglés y a estrujaros la mente?
Para ir abriendo boca os dejo con una charla suya en Ted (en inglés con, obviamente, su acento francés, y es que el inglés internacional es el que mejor entendemos quienes no somos "nativos").
Los estudiantes de tercero de ESO van a cursar este curso la asignatura "Educación para la ciudadanía y los Derechos humanos" mediante el método de "Filosofía para Niños". Para ello nos vamos a servir de la novela Lisa, escrita por Matthew Lipman y la trabajaremos con los numerosos y valiosos ejercicios que la acompañan para incentivar el pensamiento complejo, cuidadoso y crítico, así como la resolución de dilemas éticos.
Dado que estamos en el programa bilingüe, la novela la leeremos en español entre todos en voz alta en clase e iremos parando para reflexionar y realizar los ejercicios en lengua inglesa. Si vemos que la mejora del nivel de inglés es palpable continuaremos leyendo la novela en inglés.
Igualmente incorporaremos a esta metodología temas de otras asignaturas que cursen los estudiantes para avanzar, en la medida de lo posible, de forma integral y significativa.
Les dejo con una conferencia Ted en la que se habla de la importancia de la filosofía para niños. Si están interesados en saber más sobre este programa hay mucha información en la red.
25 students from 2º ESO ABC enjoyed a week in an English Camp in Villanueva de los Infantes, Ciudad Real thanks to a scholarship given by the Ministry of Education.
17th March is St Patrick's
Day, Irish national Day. We learnt about it in different classes and
we also decided to wear green on Friday as a celebration. Students
and teachers had a lot of fun in the photocall that María del Mar
prepared with her students. The leprechaun and the shamrocks were
wonderful!
3º ESO students prepared some slide
shows in technology class.
2º and 3º ESO students were preparing
quizzes for their classmates. How much do you know about this
festival? Try the quiz (these are our students' best questions).
Some students enjoyed a visit to Museo Picasso Málaga yesterday. First, our excellent guide, Cristina, asked them some questions about three works in the current exhibition, 33 Picassos.
After that, we attended a workshop on collage and print.
We had a lot of fun today. Some 2º, 3º and 4º ESO students went to Auditorio Edgar Neville to watch, or better said participate in the play Fall of the Roman Empire. Actors were hilarious and students loved to watch them and their classmates on stage. Congratulations to Interacting for having done such a great job.
On january 30, we celebrate the School-day of non violence and peace.
More than a hundred years ago, Europe was inmerse in one of the most devastating conflicts of human history: the First World War. Thousands and thousands of European soldiers died in the trenches, far away from home.
In Christmas of 1914, a small miracle happened: French, German and British soldiers stopped the war, exchanged food and souvenirs and sung carols. There was even a football game between soldiers. Unfortunately, after Christmas the nonsense of war continued.
Did you know about Plough Monday? Our 2º ESO B and 3º ESO students have been investigating about this celebration.
The first Monday after Twelfth Night (6th January) is Plough Monday. It was originally the day when the agricultural work restarted after the Christmas holidays.
Ramsey has very popular celebrations. See last year's one!
Molly dance is typical on that day.
In some towns and villages, there are straw bears too, such as the one in Wittlesey.
