Linguistic Area Awards
Recently, we have awarded our most gifted students with MFL as well as their mother tongue in a really gorgeous ceremony inside our little and cozy library. Everything was beautifully arranged with some freshly cut flowers decorating such a memorable moment.
The Head of the Area, Miss García conducted the brief event along with Miss Arcalá, who proudly and happily gave out all the presents and diplomas to our students.
Happy to pose, let me share a picture with my awarded and delighted students of Year 8 and Year 9. Elena Vega got the first prizes in Love Tweet category (both in Spanish and English), while Mercedes Marchal, Lorena Morales and Lara Ballesteros got special mentions in that category too. On the other hand, Lara Ballesteros also obtained a special mention for her Calligram in French. Unfortunately, she could not attend the awards' ceremony and missed the group picture.

Relationship Applications, the App you need!
AS students are ON FIRE and have presented assorted apps they think are interesting to socialise, interact and meet other people, not only with romantic purposes, but basically to either contact to meet up, make friends or connect in a world where finding people with similar tastes gets easier thanks to new technologies. Let me share some of their multiple proposals. Although once more, due so shyness constrictions, many apps won't be shared. Too bad.

Imaginary Land IV Edition
It's been done before and WE LOVE IT. Using a collaborative and cooperative methodology, students will design their own country from scratch with the following info:
![]() |
| Passage Way to South Seas by |
2. Back page: Members of the Project
3. Index of contents:
3.1. Description of the country
3.2. Description of the capital city
3.3. Map including distinctive geographical aspects
3.4. Flora and Fauna
3.5. LAWS
This project is the perfect excuse to start a debate about the importance of a constitution, moving to ours in particular. Also, we will reflect not only on people's rights in general, but also on a personal level, including duties and responsibilities. Key aspects such as monarchy, presidency, religion and police forces will be questioned to be present or absent in each group's proposal.
