Shakespeare 400th anniversary

The bilingual groups attended to a general presentation about Shakespeare's life and work. The main points that our assintant teacher, Tim, talked were:

  • William Shakespeare grew up in a rather important family. His father was influential as an alderman and his mother was the daughter of a wealthy landowner.

  • He never received a complete education, but he spent most of his free time reading, writing and acting.

  • There are a lot of things we don't know about Shakespeare, but we can hypothesize about parts of his life based on his writings.

  • He became very wealthy from the work he did, and bought property in both Stratford-upon-Avon and London.

  • Other than his famous stories, he also invented more than 1,700 words by combining words, turning verbs into adjectives, changing nouns into verbs and using many other techniques.

Saint Patrick's Day 2016

Saint Patrick's Day in SIES Luis de Gongora (Loeches) On March 11, "Irish Treble", an Irish dancing group, together with a folk music band, came to teach us how to dance. They want to spread Irish culture through music and dance, that is why they visit schools showing their performance. They were also invited to the celebration of St. Patrick's Day in Madrid on March 13. They did their best to get us dancing, and some of our students did pretty well. Others... Have a look!!

"Irish Treble" also visited Torrejón on March 16:

The museum has over 6 million specimens in its collections, and this makes it one of the main reference centres for not only Spanish fauna, but also that of other Mediterranean areas. It also offers a journey back through time via collections with centuries of history. Spectacular specimens can be viewed, such as:
