TRAVELLING TO LONDON. THIS IS OUR EXPERIENCE OF THIS AMAZING TRIP  The last 12th of December 17 students from 2nd of Bachillerato and two of their teachers, Margarita Tortosa and myself , Mercedes Escavy,  started our  trip to London.      We spent five days in the capital  visiting the most important places: The Natural History Museum, The Science Museum, Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, Regent´s Park, Camden Town Market, Greenwich village and the observatory... Lots of awesome sites!  Moreover, we were invited to the Spanish Embassy where we met many young scientists who are working and researching in the United Kingdom. It was an amazing experience for all of us.   Every place was extremely interesting although, to be honest, the best memories will undoubtedly be the sharing of the trip with my students, who are really especial. They behaved respectfully and kindly to each other, and made the trip unforgettable!!! In addition,...

CHRISTMAS CAROL CONTEST Christmas time can be incredibly funny and here at Jose Planes it really was! On December the 21st, students of all ages successfully took part in an amazing Christmas Carol singing contest where they had lots of fun. All of them came onstage and regaled us with tons of their art, creativity and magic. We had the chance to listen to wonderful cover songs of the most popular Christmas Carols, ranging from classic tunes as Rudolf the Reindeer or Jingle Bells to most modern and catchy hits like All I want for Christmas is you or George Michaels’s widely known Last Christmas . Some groups performed nice choreographies as they dusted off their tambourines and Christmas red and white hats. On such a fantastic soiree, all of them did a fantastic job and the jury had a hard time to decide the winners of the contest. After a hard deliberation, 1º E ESO with Rudolph and their fantastic choreography was proclaimed winner and 4º A ESO with a surprising and diff...

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS 1st A It's Xmas time!!! Every year, our school gets ready to welcome this season with joy and lots of different activities and decorations, so that we can let the "Christmas spirit ring", as the song says.  Students from the first year, group A, built this great and original Christmas tree out of the shape of their own hands. Moreover, they wrote their wishes and resolutions for the coming year in them.  Have a look at it, isn't it cute? WE WHISH YOU A VERY MERRY XMAS!!!! Teacher: Miriam Yépez

DANCING THRILLER!! THIS BREAK TIME WAS TERRIFYING!!! Students from different levels, together with some brave teachers, have been preparing this dance for the last weeks. The English teacher, Mercedes Escavy, had the idea for this activity that everybody can enjoy now.  Things can always be better, but we are absolutely sure that everybody had a great time and enjoyed and laughed a lot. It was a great experience, so thanks a lot to CATI, TANIA, CRISTINA, ANA AND MERCEDES. We strongly hope you like it since the cooperative activities between teachers and students are actually motivating for us. GO PLANES!!

HALLOWEEN DOOR DECORATIONS Once again, our school got ready for Halloween.  This time, we have followed the tradition started last year and which was quite successful: the decoration of the classrooms front doors. After all, most student's do not get to see beyond them and they get surprised when they walk along the school corridors and see these great decorations.  We opted for something fun and simple and turned our front doors into a cute yet scary monsters. Come and see this gallery!! This year, we have also added a haunted house at the entrance of the school so that everybody could notice it was Halloween since they came in!  ç I want to thank my workmates for their great job: MERCEDES ESCAVY, JUANJO BASTIDA, ANA GÓMEZ AND VICTORIA CALVO. You're absolutely great!!! Miriam Yépez 

DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY Students from the 2nd year, groups A and B, have made these great experiments with their teacher. These are the MYSTERIOUS AND AMAZING PROPERTIES OF MATTER!! It's not a mystery, it is SCIENCE! Come, see and ...HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! Teacher MARÍA JESÚS ALMAGRO

Pupils from 1st E have made a poster to welcome people who come to our class.  It is an acronym and in every sentence we think over some of the aspects we would like to reach in our learning.  We consider these statements are very interesting and important for everybody at school. Therefore we are sharing these photos with you.  We hope you like and think about them! Teacher: Mercedes Escavy
