IT'S HALLOWEEN!

As a reminder of the never ending calendar's movement forwards, Elizabeth has decorated the English Department door with pumpkins, ghosts and spiders....
Does it mean Halloween is already here one more time?

 

Yes, sure it does! And our assistant has also had a Halloween session with the younger students, where she has taught them how to carve a pumpkin and make a Jack-o-lantern, as well as some basic vocabulary and  rhymes related to this popular festival.

MEETING WITH THE NEW ASSISTANTS

Elizabeth Kur, English Language Assistant at I.E.S. Fidiana -for a second time this year- and Luis Soldevilla, C.L.I.L. Programme Coordinator in our school, took part in a meeting with this year's new assistants  for  schools in Córdoba and sorrounding towns.

The sesión, intended to welcome and give some orientations to the newly arrived foreign assistants, took place last Thursday 3rd October and consisted of several lectures on topics ranging from practical daily life matters to guidelines on the assistants' work in C.L.I.L. school.

Luis told the audience different aspects of what working along with English assistants in I.E.S. Fidiana, has been like in the last few years, and Elizabeth reported her experience last year and gave her new colleagues some tips for a nice stay in Córdoba and in their host schools.

A NEW SCHOOL YEAR MEANS NEW STUDENTS

A new promotion of students from our associated elementary school, C.E.I.P. Juan de Mena have turned up at the beginning of this new term and are now going ahead in our school and CLIL Programme. They are a bunch of promising teenagers that will for sure mark a highlight in the history of IES Fidiana.
We will keep watching them closely!



NEW TEACHERS JOIN THE PROGRAMME

Elena León (Biology), Esperanza Sánchez (Geography and History) and Luis Vallés (Philosophy) are the latest three teachers who have joined Fidiana's CLIL team.
Welcome on board!

FIRST C..L.I.L. BACHILLERATO GRADUATES

Among the students who graduated in Bachillerato at the end of this school year are the group of pupils who, six years ago, started their C.L.I.L. curriculum at Fidiana.
These have been six exciting and rewarding years for us, the teachers, and I guess for the students as well.
Now it is time for them to go ahead with  heir lives and their careers, but hopefully they will bring along with them the imprint of the education -and that includes the C.L.I.L. training- received at I.E.S. Fidiana.
Good luck to you all!

SEE YOU SOON, ELIZABETH!

Our assistant, Elizabeth Kur, finished her appointment as an assistant in our school last May 31st. Nevertheless, she has applied for and been admitted as an assistant next year, therefore we will be enjoying her presence among us starting on October 1st.
Happy summer holidays, Eliizabeth!!! See you soon!!!

I RECOMMEND...

As part of the activities organised to celebrate the international Book Day (April 23rd) the school library has collected and exhibited reading recommendations from students, teachers and parents. Under the title "I recommend this book", some of our C.L.I.L. students have participated in the activity submitting their recommendations written in English.
