4th OF MARCH -SCHOOL DAY OF LANGUAGES

Friday, 4th of March 2011! What a great day it was in our school! It just rocked!

All day long something was going on somewhere. Spelling contests involving all the classes, from the 7th to the 12th form, singing and dancing, playing the Trivial of Languages, participating in a lecture about the importance of speaking foreign languages, appreciating the exhibitions of the work done by students in the different language classes and, of course, tasting the delicious foods of Portugal, England, Germany, France and Spain.

What a thrill it was for the teachers to see the joy in the eyes of their students!

And last but not least, a very special thanks to the English Club Staff, who, with their enthusiasm and commitment, greatly contributed to the success of this event.

Here are some photos of this memorable day:

Today is St. David's Day!

St. David and Wales

St David's Day is celebrated in Wales and by Welsh people throughout the world on 1st March. Saint David (known as Dewi Sant in the Welsh language) is the patron saint of Wales. He was a Celtic monk who lived in the 6th Century and was Archbishop of Wales. His influence is shown by the number of churches dedicated to him in Wales.

The Father of Science Fiction

Jules Gabriel Verne: (February 8, 1828 – March 24, 1905) was a French author from Brittany who pioneered the science-fiction genre. He is best known for novels such as Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), A Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873). Verne wrote about space, air, and underwater travel before air travel and practical submarines were invented, and before practical means of space travel had been devised. He is the third most translated individual author in the world, according to Index Translationum. Some of his books have been made into films.
