1º D: GRACIAS!

Hoy mis fantásticos (y a veces un poquito charlatanes) alumn@s de 1º D (No British) me han sorprendido regalándome este precioso ramo de flores. ¡GRACIAS, GRACIAS, GRACIAS! Sois estupendos, ojalá podamos seguir juntos el próximo curso...

History of Rome: bibliography

As we did some weeks ago with the I World War, here you have an update bibliography about Rome, from the times of the monarchy to the Late Empire, and also good books about daily life and culture.

Enjoy the reading!

1º British: Historical movies

As we did last year with the 4º E.S.O. syllabus, we have a new edition of historical films for summer time, in this case focus on 1º E.S.O. syllabus (Prehistory, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece and Rome). 

And, as a warm-up, we will watch a couple of episodes of "Roman Misteries" (Aventures in the Empire), a TV serie from BBC (2008, two seasons) based on the book collection by Caroline Lawrence, that you liked so much... Can you recognise each character?

Enjoy!

2014 Model-making exhibition

Good news! Finally we had our model-making exhibition at the High School' Hall. We selected a dozen of them (it was a really harsh decision, by the way) and they look amazing! Congratulations to all of you for these wondefull jobs. 

You can visit the exhibition until the end of this academic year, and don't forget to invite your family and friends... Remember also that you can see the individual (and detailed) photos in the "Actividades" Tab of this blog...

Enjoy the exhibition!

4º British: 70º aniversary of the D-Day invasion

On June 6, 1944, 150,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified French coastline to fight Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France.

General Dwight D. Eisenhower called the operation a crusade in which “we will accept nothing less than full victory” More than 5,000 ships and 11,000 aircraft supported the invasion, and by day’s end, the Allies gained a foot-hold in France. The D-Day cost was high with more than 9,000 Allied soldiers killed or wounded as the march across Europe to defeat Hitler began.

Today, 70 years after the D-Day, the World commemorates the effort. In the web D-Day Memorial you could find and learn many resources about this topic: primary documents, videos, militar projects, stories from veterans, glossary, etc.

In addition, if you want to compare the coastline of Normandy now and them, visit the link of the Huffington Post.
