BRITISH CULTURE CLASS

SCHOOL DAY OF NON-VIOLENCE AND PEACE.

Wednesday, January 30, 2019.

Due to the celebration of the SCHOOL DAY OF NON-VIOLENCE AND PEACE, our 1st eso bilingual students have worked and performed in class with their music teacher, Marisa Alonso, some songs related to this commemorative day, trying to encourage these positive values in them. We want to share with you this special event. 

GOOD JOB!

THEATRE PLAY. KING MIDAS. 1º ESO CF.

Students of 1ESO have written and recorded a play about the story of King Midas. We used our English classes to create a piece of writing which could be read as a theatre play on SF Radio. After some days refining and rehearsing our roles, we are ready to present our premiere.

We are absolutely thrilled to share this experience with the community and let our parents, friends and families know the activities we do in class.

Starring:

• Iván Alves. 
• Iván Sánchez. 
• Sergio García. 
• Paula Mendiola. 
• Irene Martínez. 

English teacher: Ana Sanjuán.
Recorded by Francisco J. Rodríguez.

A Bilingualsanfer production in collaboration with SF Radio.

MUSICAL NOTATION PROJECT.

Our 1st ESO bilingual students, with their music teacher, Marisa Alonso, have been studying and  researching, using different sources, how to write music properly and the main elements of the score.

They presented some oral exposures about this topic in class, and we want to share in this section some extracts of them  with this video and photographs.

We hope you enjoy It!

SONGWRITING PROJECT. SECOND EDITION. OBJTECT WRITING.

For the second year in a row, bilingual students from 2nd ESO are taking part in the process of the composition of a song to be recorded by our choir. They are provided with the tools to develop their ideas in a piece of paper so that they can express their feelings.

First, we are working on the identification of the mood of songs as well as setting a routine on writing, fighting against our fears.

Please feel free to post a comment describing an object of your choice using vocabulary related to your senses. 

RECORDING OUR RECORDERS. AKAI HANA.

After three months of hard work, this term and year are coming to an end. Our 2nd ESO bilingual students and their teacher, Fran Rodríguez, are thrilled to present their particular version of this Japanese song.
The piano part was recorded by Vitor E. Pinheiro Rollano and the melody was divided into two diferent voices, played and recorded by a total of 50 students.

Both students and teachers from Bilingualsanfer want to wish you all the best this holiday season and throughout the year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

THE END OF THE BEGINNING

Theatre in English.

On November 12th, once again, about 280 students from our school from 1st to 3rd year of Secondary Education had the opportunity to attend the play in English "The End of the Beginning" by the theatre company "Moving On" in the assembly hall of the C.P.R. in Badajoz. This company, created in 1988 by native actors from Great Britain and specialized in schools, has been offering this kind of entertaining, communicative and funny activities to our centre for several editions consecutively. It is a performance of about 60 minutes of duration, entirely in English.

As it is becoming a custom, every year they delight and entertain us with some performance on current issues, including some moments of spontaneity and surprise, where students also become protagonists and actors for a moment.

This year's topic has been the famous Brexit, its consequences and repercussions. Treated comically, and from opposing points of view, it reviews all the benefits that belonging to the European Union entails and what could be lost in education, employment, security, investments, influence on important European decisions, tourism and many other subjects.

The show includes a test on British citizenship to which students were invited to respond and they did so with enthusiasm to demonstrate their knowledge and their command of the country's culture.

The songs that accompany the play, scattered with moments of humour, deal with the contradictions, hypocrisies and injustices that lead the protagonist to think that it would be better to be an "alien", making a play on words with the concept of being an alien, a foreigner or an immigrant.

The actors leave us a quote by Winston Churchill for reflection: “This is not the end, This is not even the beginning of the end.This is just perhaps the end of the beginning.'

Here you are some snapshots and videos that show the great acceptance and success that the experience has had.

The English Department of the I.E.S. San Fernando wants to thank the C.P.R. of Badajoz for its assembly hall for the event, to the responsible and accompanying teachers for their collaboration, to the parents for their support to the activity, and to the students for their good behaviour, participation and involvement in the activity.
