GOOD-BYE, LINDSEY!

Last Tuesday, May 26th, was our assistant's last day at school. After two years in Spain as a foreign language assistant she is heading for her native United States in order to continue her career as a teacher.
She received the farewell of both teachers -who gave her a hand decorated fan and a nice necklace and bracelet as a memento of her stay in Fidiana- and students -who prepared a goodbye-card for her-of the C.L.I.L. programme, who have been enjoying her presence and work for the last 8 months.
You have been an excellent assistant! We will miss you, Lindsey! Thank you , and... Good luck!

HALL OF FAME

This morning an award giving ceremony has taken place in I.E.S. Fidiana. Last C.L.I.L. Day's winning teams have been announced and the team members have received a diploma and a practical pen drive as a prize for their good performance at the C.L.I.L. gymkhana.
The programme coordinator thanked both the students, for their participation, and the teachers, for their enthusiasm on preparing the day's activities, which turned out quite successful according to everybody's opinion. After that, the winners were called out by the CLIL teachers present, and were given their little reward.  The event finished with the wish for a new and successful edition next year.

A NEW C.L.I.L. DAY IS COMING TO FIDIANA

Next Wednesday March 4th I.E.S. Fidiana is going to celebrate its 5th C.L.I.L. Day. This year the event will be focused on the recent Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai and her role as a leader in the fight for the right to education.
Our students will participate in an AICLE competition, where teams of four will have to solve puzzles in different workshops related to their CLIL curriculum subjects. After the coffee break, there will be a range of activities, such as: learning a Bollywood dance; listening to a short lecture on the situation of women's education and work in India; watching and commenting a short film on girls and education in Africa; and attending a shadow theatre performance by their own schoolmates.
Happy CLIL Day to everybody!

HALLOWEEN SESSION

Last October 31st first and second year students attended a Halloween session set up by a group of their fellow-students, members of the school's students' association. They were invited to visit a mental asylum and took part in some "horrific" games. We still ignore if our youngest pupils were so terrified that they will never again feel like undergoing such an experience... their mischievous schoolmates and the teachers Gema Gil, José Luis Pabón and Diana Bazo are to be blamed for that!

CLIL EXPERT VISITS FIDIANA

   Yesterday a visit was paid to our school by Mr. Derek Erwin, an expert on CLIL and use of new technologies, who is going to be lecturing teachers at CEP Luisa Revuelta for three days starting today.
His visit was part of a tour of several primary and secondary CLIL schools in our city, in an effort to gain awareness of the kind of work being done in schools curently implementing the programme.
 After listening to a brief introduction  to our school's programme by its coordinator, Mr Erwin and his company were invited to observe some CLIL lessons being taught at the time (Maths, Physics and Music), where he was requested some collaboration, as can be seen in the photo.

OUR NEW ASSISTANT

 

Hello! My name is Lindsey Skelton and I am the new English language assistant this year at Fidiana. I am very excited to begin this new journey with all of you this year!  A little bit about myself; I am from the United States, California to be exact. Living in Southern California, I was always surrounded by Spanish so I´ve always had an interest in the language and culture. In college I decided to pursue my two biggest passions, Mathematics and Spanish. Also during college I spent one semester abroad in Seville studying. While there, I fell in love with the city and Spanish culture in general. One of my favorite parts of my experience was getting to enjoy a nice `café con leche´ in the evenings. As soon as I finished my studies in the U.S., I returned to Spain as a Language Assistant in 2013. Last year I worked at a secondary school in the town of Estepa in Seville. As I’ve only ever lived in Seville previously, I can´t wait to discover all of the charm that Cordoba has to offer. I am also excited to get to know the students of Fidiana and show them a little bit of what the world has to offer them.
