Travel broadens the mind” it is usually said, when one packs his or her suitcase and hits the road, but this time we could become more open-minded people without leaving our hometown Bieruń (Poland), thanks to two guests, who visited our school in May - Kubra from Turkey and Munisch from India. They visited Poland as volunteers of AIESEC, which is the international organisation of young people, who work on global issues and focus on developing leadership skills and student exchange programmes. As one of the goals of this organisation is cross-cultural understanding, our guests’ task was to present their culture to Polish students.
                             

A Trip into the Past: Monterozzi Necropolis

By Miguel Núñez García, 3rd year ESO A. 

A group of students from I.E.S. de Catabois in Ferrol have travelled to Bassano Romano in Italy as part of an exchange of students during the present scholastic year 2018/2019. One of the most interesting places we visited during our stay was the town of Tarquinia and the Etrurian necropolis of Monterozzi, which is located in the town outskirts.

Monterozzi has about 6,000 tombs which are classified as: external tombs or underground chamber tombs. The external ones are more ancient and display funny shapes as if they were huge mush-rooms of the Boletus family. The corpse of the dead was incinerated and the ashes were put in clay made funerary urns which were kept inside the stoned-coffin like the one in the photograph.

Bird Watching at Lake Vico

By Adrián Aneiros López, 3rd year ESO PMAR.

Lake Vico is a lake that is located near Bassano Romano (Italy), the place where we took part in an exchange of students this year. Its origin is volcanic and it is a natural reserve so it is very beautiful because there are a lot of trees and many birds of different species.

Consumópolis at I.E.S de Catabois: recycling and reusing to make new products.

CONSUMÓPOLIS: INTRODUCTION TO THE PROJECT.

Through the present year, our school, I.E.S. de Catabois in Ferrol, Spain, has been taking part in a project called ‘Consumópolis’. We consider it a preparation for an Erasmu+ KA we have applied for, which is called ‘Recyclart’.

This project was born to make the students aware of the importance of recycling, reducing and reusing so that they realize how our lives can change for the better and how we can keep sustainability at acceptable levels thanks to recyclage.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE COLOSSEUM.

By André Rico Noceda, (3rd year ESO A)

When we went to Rome in our last school exchange of students, we were in the Vatican a very cool place. After that, we saw the city from a bus where a tourist guide was explaining things about the city, which is a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Life in Italy: Sutri.

By Óscar Benjamín Laya Torres (2nd year ESO)

Hello my name is Óscar. Today I will tell you how was my experience in Italy. When we got to the airport in Italy, all the families of our Italian friends and their two teachers were waiting for us.

After that, we all went to the homes of our Italian friends, but all the Italians lived in different villages. My Italian friend, Alessandra, lived in a town called Sutri. When we arrived home, her whole family gave me a great welcome and I was very surprised.
