The old objects speak to us

Our youngest pupils who study History in English participated in the installation of a small ethnological museum in our school. They brought the objects and a short explanation of them in three languages: Spanish, Valencian and English.
Everyday objects which tells us about their makers and their users, items which evoke feelings, sounds, smells… Our exhibition consisted of more than one hundred ancient objects that explain our recent past.
The activity has had positive impact and a rich learning experience for all concerned.

Trip to Madrid

Every year, all the students who study in the multilingual programme of our school (about 110) participate in a special activity at the beginning of the course.
This time we decided to organize a day trip to Madrid. We wake up very early to take our buses because El Prado museum was waiting for us.
There, all the pupils, in groups, asked some questions to the tourists about our country. After that, they visited the museum.
Then we went to La plaza Mayor and finally we went for a walk in El Retiro park.
The efforts were well worth the excitement of the day!

European Day of Languages


The European Day of Languages is a yearly event held on 26 September. It celebrates the linguistic diversity of a continent with
  • over 200 European languages
  • 24 official EU languages
  • about 60 regional/minority languages
  • and many more spoken by people from other parts of the world
In order to promote this cultural and linguistic diversity the European Internationalization Commission of IES Clot del Moro decided to organize two activities that involved all the students of our institution.
  1. The students had to write on different colourful pieces of papers their personal desires for the new course or for our world. Each wish had to be written in three European languages. On 25th September they had to stick these messages on the wings of a big butterfly placed in the hall of the school.
  2. Some students were filmed expressing their desires and the Day of Languages everybody could watch this video in television located in the entrance of the school
