It has been a global project worked from the early ages in our school learning about the Christian origins of their names , the lives of the most famous saints as St. Teresa, St. Francis of Asís, etc. and they have had fun getting pictures taken at this nice photocall "LET´S BE SAINTS In Primary they have done different activities such as Maps with saints to see their stories, origins and celebration; beautiful garlands, some tips for us to be a kind of saints, to see how people around us are on their way to a common sanctity and to appreciate generosity, pray, help, teaching, underst...
IMMERSION WEEK AT SHEFFIELD CENTRE IN GUADARRAMA Last October our 1º ESO students have participated in an exciting immersion week at Sheffield Centre in Guadarrama.

Daring to speak English is the target in a different environment ...
