HISTORY THIRD CYCLE. ANCIENT GREECE

The periods of history are usually in tune and harmonize with the evolutionary moment of the students. It has been through harmony and beauty where this period of history has flourished in the third cycle classroom.   The Greeks knew how to masterfully sculpt in their architecture and sculpture the harmony and beauty of the human form, just as their myths knew how to transmit the strength and dignity of human nature.   Ancient Greece was a time in our history where human beings inhabited the earth with so much interest that even the gods wanted to be in the human world. They lived on the tops of the mountains, in the rivers, in the forests, and in the seas, they liked to participate in worldly affairs and some gods and mortals married among themselves. From this union great heroes and heroines would be born and were thus able to guide the inhabitants of the earth.   Prayer of Socrates   Dear Pan and all the other gods who live here: Grant me to be beautiful inside and out, May everything you have be in harmony with what is inside, so that the inner and outer being are one. Here on earth, between birth and death, the soul and the spirit must be sought within us, what is beautiful must be correct

1st YEAR OF ESO. CHEMISTRY

The 1st ESO group has completed the chemistry period where they have experimented in the laboratory with chemicals and also everyday products to produce chemical reactions that have allowed them to discover how combustion and other simple chemical processes work. From the realization and observation of chemical reactions such as combustion, formation of different gases and use of acidity indicator substances, they have been measuring and using different laboratory materials and instruments. The story of Antoine Lavoisier's life has also accompanied us during these 4 weeks in which the students have experienced what the father of modern chemistry had to face in his research during the French Revolution.

MOSAICS 3rd CYCLE. IMAGE OF THE MUSES

It is believed that the origin of the mosaic technique dates back to more than 3000 years BC in Mesopotamia, although it was developed and refined in ancient Greece, reaching its peak in the elaborate Roman mosaics and the Byzantine Empire. The word mosaic means “work inspired by the muses”, divinities of the Arts. The making of a mosaic follows very specific steps, being a very complete process that includes design, ingenuity, creativity and technique. Pebbles, stones of different sizes or uniform tesserae are used depending on the effect you want to achieve and mortars such as lime or plaster. Originally the support was the floor or the wall. In this case we have used a wooden board with a frame to contain the plaster that is applied at the end of the process. We have taken inspiration from original ornaments from Persia, Greece and Rome.

2nd AND 3rd YEAR ESO. BIOLOGY

The 2nd and 3rd year secondary school (ESO) group has immersed themselves for four weeks in a Biology learning period. Through daily reading of the book "The Secret Life of Trees" by Wohlleben, we have been able to discover the hidden world of trees: what they feel, what they communicate. We have also given life to the study of human biology from the mechanism to the organism, investigating through questions about the eyes and sight, hearing and listening, the sense of balance, the sense of touch, taste and smell, the sense of movement, the larynx and speech, the human skeleton and the nervous system. Why do we see the sky blue? What organ is involved in the vision of ambiguous figures? What is the path of sound? What helps us maintain balance? What is pain? What is touch? How are taste and smell related? Do you know why you can move without thinking about what to do at any given moment? How is the sound of the voice generated? How many types of bones does our skeleton have? What is the arch of our feet used for? Why does the column have a wavy shape? How does the brain develop from birth? and a long etc. Various sources have accompanied the path of research, study and learning: books, articles, drawings, a skeleton and a torso, but above all the desire to learn to learn. Every week different groups of students have presented their micro-research projects and answered their classmates' questions. On Thursdays we have held debates on science and society topics, in order to develop skills such as argumentation, critical thinking or decision making, active listening, oratory and oral expression: Is it possible that Artificial Intelligence will end humanity? Do human beings behave like a parasite on Earth? Are GMOs our salvation or our downfall? On February 2 we close the period with an oral presentation of the personal research project that each one has chosen within the field of Biology. Some of the projects will reveal to us: What is Nature's secret number? How dolphins sing? What are reflections? What does microbiology study? Why, if we theoretically come from monkeys, do monkeys not become human beings over time? "Knowledge takes up no place." Aristotle.

CRAFTS 1rs YEAR OF ESO. SNEAKERS

  The 1st year ESO students, in artistic processes, have been making their own shoes. To do this, they have calculated the shape and size of the shoes by first making the cardboard insole and also the upper part. Then they have chosen different fabrics for their design. They started by hand sewing the parts of the shoes and then finished them with the sewing machine. Using the sewing machine offers ample opportunity to practice foot rhythm coordination (will), manual dexterity (feeling), and attention (thinking).

CLAY 2nd AND 3rd YEAR OF ESO. WHAT IS THE ETERNAL IN YOU?

The period of biology has been the source of inspiration for this process of modeling with clay, and in a broad way, the vital forces that model concave and convex shapes in a harmonious dialogue, reflected in the human face and head. The novelty and challenge has arisen from the technique used to create the heads, created from a hollow shape that is modeled from within, to bring out the elements of the face. Each modeled head is different in its expressiveness, and its countenance carries a message. Transcending the physical, we ask; What is eternal in you? What is eternal in me? In this way we finish the process in an artistic-poetic environment that gives us profound answers.

In addition, I have a degree in Audiovisual Communication from the European University of Madrid (2001), a degree in Political Science from the Complutense University of Madrid (2005) and a Master's degree in Art, Culture and Literature from the Open University of Catalunya (2019). I am also doing the Postgraduate course in Holistic Pedagogy in Sa Llavor and this will be the fourth year that I will be accompanying secondary students. Next week we will begin the unit of The power of words (English literature) with the 2nd and 3rd year secondary students. At the end of February, I will be with the 1st year secondary students where we will study the first explorers of Africa and Asia. So that you can get to know me a little better, I worked for four years in a newspaper in Madrid and for three years I was a freelance journalist in Kenya (Africa). I have written two books and I am very passionate about reading, languages and words. I feel very lucky to be a part of an educational project like this.
