Sehar explains us about DIWALI, the Festival of Lights, an important Indian festival.
People in India and Nepal celebrate Diwali to mark the end of Hindu calendar year. Diwali is a national holiday in India and Nepal. The Diwali celebrations last for 5 days. This year Diwali celebrates from 2nd to 6th November.
Many countries around the world hold multicultural events to mark the holiday. During Diwali, people light lamps and pray for good health, peace and wisdom. They clean their homes and decorate their doorways with pictures made with painted rice or coloured powder called Rangoli.
Our language assistant Sehar has made a Rangoli in the school.
Children light fireworks, we have decorated the hall hanging Diwali lamps made by students of 3rd year. And Rangoli coloured by students of 1st year.
Adults buy new clothes, gifts and sweets for their family and friends. The fourth day of Diwali marks the start of the new year, what is the most important day of the festival. People pray to Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess for wealth and prosperity in the coming year.

El pasado 31 de mayo fue el último día en el que Sehar, nuestra auxiliar de conversación, estuvo en el centro. Los profesores bilingües y miembros del Equipo Directivo nos reunimos con ella en el SUM, donde compartimos un buen rato y se proyectó el vídeo protagonizado por alumnos y realizado por los profesores que quisieron mostrar su agradecimiento a Sehar por su trabajo durante este curso.
Sehar ha cumplido ampliamente con sus funciones de auxiliar en el diseño, acompañamiento y desarrollo de actividades y tareas comunicativas en las áreas implicadas en nuestro proyecto bilingüe.
Además, tenemos ya la confirmación de que volverá a estar con nosotros el curso próximo.
¡Gracias Sehar! Te esperamos el próximo curso. Hasta pronto !!!

El próximo curso 2021-22 la etapa de Bachillerato será completamente bilingüe en el IES Cantillana. Por tanto, todos los alumnos que se matriculen en nuestro centro para cursar esta etapa educativa no obligatoria, recibirán enseñanza bilingüe en dos asignaturas:
Educación Física.
Filosofía.
Ambas asignaturas se imparten en el curso 1º de bachillerato de cualquiera de las modalidades ofertadas.
El Bachillerato bilingüe tiene como objetivo que los alumnos adquieran competencias en una segunda lengua utilizando directamente el idioma como medio de comunicación en asignaturas que de otra forma se impartirían en castellano.
Once again our school celebrated its Cultural Week (23 – 30 Apri). The idea was to develop an educational project which helps students in their process of learning as much as possible. During the week, they carried out different tasks and presented their work to other students. They became the protagonists of the teaching-learning process.
Una vez más, nuestro centro celebra su Semana Cultural. La idea es desarrollar un proyecto educativo que implique a los alumnos en su propio aprendizaje. Durante la semana, han realizado diferentes actividades y las han presentado a alumnos de otras clases. Se han convertido en los protagonistas de su proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje.
The Bilingual Project actively contributed with activities like these:
BATTLE OF IDEAS
Students of 1º Bachillerato discussed about different topics in Philosophy.
The group of Social Sciences and Humanities defended the traditional conception of fidelity, unraveling the concepts and values that are derived from it or that conclude in it. On the other hand, the group of Sciences raised a deconstruction of the concept of infidelity and criticized the cultural assessment that is made of it.
Debate entre los dos grupos de Bachillerato en el que cada uno de ellos defendió una serie de ideas relacionadas entre sí. El tema que ellos mismos eligieron fue “La fidelidad”.
El grupo de Bachillerato de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades defendió la concepción tradicional de la fidelidad, desentrañando los conceptos y valores que de ésta derivan o que en ella concluyen.
Por contra, el grupo de Bachillerato de Ciencias, planteó una deconstrucción del concepto de infidelidad y sometió a crítica la valoración cultural que se hace de ésta.
GAMES OF THE WORLD
P.E. area contributed with the activity GAMES AROUND THE WORLD. CULTURE UNITES US. In this project, the students of 1º ESO researched and explained traditional games from different parts of the world , they did a presentation demonstrating the traditional game and finally, played them.

The second part was very funny, after listening to the song PLASTIC, students had to complete the lyrics and fill in the missing words.
The winners were: Trinidad Morejón Campos, Rocío Pérez Ruiz and Lucía Reina Villarreal of 3º ESO D.
La Coordinación Bilingüe ha organizado la I OLIMPIADA DE LISTENING. Para ello, los alumnos de 3º ESO, participantes en el concurso, se han dividido en grupos. En primer lugar, se ha realizado una actividad interactiva en la plataforma MOODLE en la que los alumnos tenían que averiguar la imagen correspondiente a la definición leída por nuestra auxiliar. La segunda parte fue muy divertida, los alumnos debían completar la canción que estaban escuchando.
