The 2016 School's Great Achiever is...

...Irene Lemus Zamora!

Irene is a hard-working young lady who breaks the expected!

Irene was born on the 24^th of June 2002.

She is from the 3^rd A and during the break she is always on the bench.

Irene started doing judo when she was 5 years old. She has won two champions of Judo. They were in Caceres which is a city in the north of Extremadura. In both of them Irene was the second one. She achieved the blue belt and then she started practicing artistic gymnastics.

She started doing artistic gymnastics when she was 12 years old. She has already participated in several championships and events of this sport. She hasn't won any award yet but it is surely only a question of time. 

Congratulations, Irene!

"The 2016 School's Great Achiever".

With this activity I had two objectives: On the one hand to practice speaking and writing skills in English and on the other hand, I wanted students to explore with whom they share their life in the High School.Having positive and real examples from their own community is important for the young people who are at the crossroad to establish their identities and to choose their future career paths.

Students could have chosen people who overcome their disabilities and strive for the same school outcomes, people who help out in nongovernmental organizations, people who have their own life project and create something or people who reach in their extracurricular activities.

In the end, the 4A course has voted as the winner  a nice example that breaks more than one stereotype .
The text was written made by the students.

Romanorum Vita

A history of Rome is a project of historical disclosure that allows to know the daily life of the inhabitants of a city of the Roman Empire. It is a traveling exhibition that invited us to walk down a street and visit a domus. The exhibition puts us in 79 d. C, during the imperial era, and shortly before the destruction of Pompeii. Scenography, audiovisual and informative texts are complemented by sound elements and even smells, thus configuring an innovative experience.

Exhibition "Love letters of famous people"

Albert Einstein also frequently expressed his feelings for his great love, Mileva, by letter. In one of these letters, sent it from Milan on September 13, 1900, the physicist said:

"Around the world could find another better than you, now is when I see clear, when I meet other people. [...] So my work seems useless and unnecessary if I thought you might also glad you than I am and what I do".

A joint activity, 2016: CEIP "Lope de Vega"-IES "Bárbara de Braganza"

On more year, 1^st Year students from “Barbara de Braganza” High School and 6^th Grade students from “Lope de Vega” Primary School, have participated in a joint activity in the Muslin Citadel (Alcazaba) of Badajoz.

They performed a gymkhana around the High Square, the Walls, the Galera’s Garden, the Espantaperros Tower and the Alcazaba Garden. They worked in groups and had to run all over the area in order to answer some questions and resolve several problems.

After two hours of intense running, climbing and reading information boards, everybody knows where Iban Marwan statue is, where the “Pig Meat” Gate, Capitel Gate or Carros Gate are. They even know the number of stairs they have to walk to get to the Central fountain.

It has been an exhausting, exciting and very funny experience. And above of all they have met some new friends.

Students of 2 ESO of Bilingual English Section despite the technical problems have been able to start a videoconference with students from Slovenia Osnovna single Prezihovega Voranca Bistrica, located in Prekmurje, with which they have been exchanging information on our cities, our nature and our culture.
