Holocaust Memorial Day

In order to remember the Holacaust Day and with the hope that nothing similar to this happens again, you can see the following video we have watched in class. In it, footballers urge fans to 'stand together' against racism in Holocaust Memorial Day.

   

Global Classrooms 2019/2020

With great enthusiasm, we write to tell you about another successful year of Global Classrooms. Each of our 180 3°ESO students participated in the program, working diligently and thoughtfully over the last three months towards solving some of the most pressing issues in the world today.

         As representatives of some of the 193 countries of the United Nations, students had to deliberate, debate, and collaborate on effective solutions to finding the balance between economic growth and resource efficiency. This involved understanding the ways in which both national and global economies function and how they interact with the environment, researching and writing formal research papers, communicating important findings and interests in a formal political conference setting, and, last but not least, doing it all in English. It is no small feat what these young delegates were able to create during their final conferences at Antonio Machado. I was blown away not only by their ability to conduct themselves in a formal way, but by their visible interest and commitment to coming up with pragmatic and inclusive resolutions to this important topic – congratulations to all for a job well-done!

         I am honored to report that ten of our students have advanced on to the second stage of conferences for Global Classrooms after participating in a preliminary conference with over a hundred other schools in the Community of Madrid. At the end of February, they will be meeting once again with other selected students to discuss the importance of women in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) and ICT (information and communications technology). They have been putting in an incredible amount of hard work so far, so we wish them the best of luck as they represent their countries, and Alfredo Kraus, very proudly.

¡Volvemos a estar de enhorabuena! Nuestr@s diez alumn@s (las cinco delegaciones) que participaron el pasado 13 de enero en la conferencia inicial de Global Classrooms, han sido seleccionad@s para la Conferencia Final, que tendrá lugar el 27 de febrero en el CRIF Las Acacias. Además, el miércoles 26 de febrero, acudiremos a la Asamblea de Madrid para celebrar la apertura de dichas conferencias y el jueves 27 para su clausura.

Esta vez tendrán que preparar a fondo un nuevo tema: “Women in STEM and ICT” (Las mujeres en la ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería y matemáticas (STEM) y en las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (ICT)), cuestión que seguro les apasionará y defenderán estupendamente en inglés ante el resto de delegaciones seleccionadas.

Éste es el tercer año que nuestro instituto participa en este proyecto, al que han asistido, este año, 1800 alumnos y alumnas, de los que han sido seleccionados 200, entre los cuales se encuentran nuestros diez estudiantes escogidos a mediados de diciembre tras la realización de una conferencia simulada en el Centro Cultural Antonio Machado.  Es decir, de los 180 centros participantes en la primera fase de Global Classrooms, van a la final 18 centros con sus cinco delegaciones y luego 10 delegaciones más, de centros diferentes.

Este curso, al igual que ocurrió en el primer año del proyecto, también figuran entre los seleccionados alumn@s de Programa, ya que durante el primer trimestre se trabaja Global Classrooms con todo el alumnado de tercero de la ESO, tanto de Programa como de Sección.

Todo esto no sería posible sin la implicación y entusiasmo de su profesorado y de la auxiliar de conversación Madeline Swarr, así como del trabajo, responsabilidad y compromiso del alumnado participante.

Todo el claustro les desea mucha suerte en esta segunda fase y, sobre todo, que disfruten y aprendan de esta gran experiencia.
