Los días 4 y 18 de marzo y 8 y 15 de abril de 2024 de 16:30 a 18:30 horas llevaremos a cabo unas jornadas sobre radio con nuestros alumnos.

Elaboraremos entrevistas, programas informativos, deportivos, etc.

Cada semana iremos subiendo los programas en formato podcast para que todos los podáis disfrutar.

¡A por ello!

Tras los misteriosos hallazgos hace una semana en el Colegio Nuestra Señora del Carmen, en 1º ESO, los pequeños Homo sapiens sapiens mini salieron a explorar para comprender cómo vivían sus antepasados.

Nos desplazamos en autobús hasta la localidad cántabra de Santillana del Mar, donde pudimos disfrutar de la visita de la Neocueva de Altamira, una reproducción exacta de la verdadera cueva. 

Antes de entrar aprovechamos para reponer fuerzas y tomar el almuerzo mientras jugábamos.

Una vez en la Neocueva realizamos un viaje a través del tiempo, situándonos 18.000 años atrás. Pudimos ver cómo era la entrada a la cueva, la cual tenía 300 metros de fondo, y los diferentes espacios organizados según tareas.Cuanto más nos adentrábamos más crecía la curiosidad de nuestros pequeños sapiens, hasta que llegamos a ver la «capilla sixtina» del arte rupestre. Distintos niveles de cueva y un techo donde aprovecharon el propio relieve de la roca para representar a distintos animales (bisontes, ciervos y caballos).

Aprovechamos también para visitar el museo, donde había piezas exclusivas de industria lítica e incluso otras pinturas rupestres paleolíticas. Los más curiosos e intrépidos intentaron probar a hacer grabados en una roca que tenía para ello el museo. 

A la salida algunos se interesaron por ver qué les ofrecía la tienda y poder llevarse un pequeño recuerdo de la aventura prehistórica.

Tras la visita de la Neocueva y el museo volvimos al autobús para ir a Santillana del Mar, donde hicimos una parada técnica para comer, ver el precioso pueblo y retornar a casa.

El viaje de vuelta fue ameno y algunos pequeños sapiens mini se atrevieron a deleitarnos con su talento oculto: cantar.

¿Qué les deparará el futuro a nuestros pequeños sapiens sapiens mini?

A new day began. During breakfast we sang Happy Birthday to one of our campers, Pablo Martín Tapias.

Afterwards, we did our daily flash dance to be awake enough to start our English lessons. We talked about film animation, public speaking, sports and animals.

Once we had lunch, we played some games and although the weather was a bit cooler than the previous days, we went for a walk through La Demanda Mountain Range. It’s so good to enjoy nature…

We got to the hostel, had a shower and phoned our families. Some of us didn’t feel well and had to stay in bed. The others had a delicious dinner (birthday cake included) and had a cosy pyjamas night watching a film.

Unluckily, during the whole day and night, the situation was getting worse and more and more campers fell ill, even the monitors. In the end, we decided to leave the hostel and finish this wonderful experience early. It was only a three day camp but it was really enjoyable.

Second day at camp, after a bit of a noisy night we got up and started the day with very loud music, a good breakfast and an energetic dance outside to welcome a sunny day. 

At  ten o’clock we started our lessons, they were great fun, we talked about food, we imagined ourselves travelling to different countries, we learned some survival skills and we discussed and practised different types of dancing.

We had a very tasty typical Spanish lunch, lentils with chorizo, pork sirloin with chips and ice cream for dessert (we love our cook)

The afternoon was great, we went to a very nice sports centre in Pradoluengo, we played football and other games on the pitch outside and we climbed inside or at least we tried.

After a typical British fish and chips dinner, we played a competition (karaoke, dancing, flexibility, lung capacity…) and finally we went to sleep.

It has been a very exciting day!

And the day arrived! We set out at 10.15 together with the high school Via de la Plata, La Bañeza. We were so excited! After a short stop in Palencia to meet our foreign monitors, we continued our trip and got to Pradoluengo at about 13.30.

As soon as we arrived, the coordinator explained to us the rules to follow in the hostel, then we had a delicious lunch (pasta, fish and chips and a yogurt) and we were organised in our rooms. 

Afterwards, we went to the nearest park to relax and dance for a while and we were divided into four groups to start our first English lesson, in which we had to introduce ourselves, find a name, a logo and a song to dance for our group.

Then we went for a walk in the village, bought some snacks in the local shop and stopped in a beautiful park. Back at the hostel, we had a shower and phoned our families.

To finish the day, we had a tasty dinner and we played really fun games.

It was a great day and we practised lots of English.

We are looking forward to tomorrow!
