Actividades curso 2010-2011

Once more the English department have been able to offer our students another performance in English for them to have fun and hear and understand as much English as possible .

This time the Pocket Oxford Tehetare Company have shown a clever and witty adaptation of Shakespeare´stragedy MACBETH . W hat might seem a " pretty boring " play at first it  turned out to be a very funny and intelligent adaptation of this tragedy , very close to the students´world and daily life . We see Shakespearre as a man working in a fast food restaurant , along with huis wife , but writing a new play at the same time to make both ends meet . His boss , called Duncan , is not a vrery nice chap so helped by different employees , called Banquo and Mucdaff ,  Shakespeare tries to kill him so as to take over the restaurant . The three witches -  cleaners at the restaurant  - had made three predictions to him long before , predictions  which  come true in the end  These three predictions had to do with the burger restaurant  being invaded by  salad , various vegetables , being murdered by a carrot ...... so as you can guess all the characters in the proper play of  Macbeth were alive in this peculiar fast food restaurant .

Of course all the employees of the restaurant as well as the owner were people from the audience - I mean our students - , all were properly dressed for their " role " in the play and they all did their best brilliantly .

Catchy  and modern songs were played and danced in varios parts of the play , which made the audience feel more in their own century .

Another big success for another English company whose job is moving from one school to another all over Spain to make the English language more attractive , lively and closer to our students . Thanks very much for your valuable help. Hope to see you all around soon .

THIS IS THE BBC  has been the last performance at school this year ; this was addressed to the ESO students and I dare to say that they had much fun , particularly when some students joined the actor and the actress adding a touch of " fresh teen air " to the play .

We´d like to mention the good role PABLO SANTOS  ( 3rd. Eso C ) played at the beginning . He was chosen to do some bits of the play along  with the actor and he felt very pleased at it , he didn´t reject the invitation at all . He did it very well and cheerfully making all of us enjoy his part thoroughly . He all thanked him his effort with  a big and warm applause  . " Well done , Pablo , good for you , congratulations for your good  performance and sense of humour .

This play has marked the end of " the school theatre " activity that the English department organize for both ESO and BAC students every year . Once more it has been a great success and the students , as usual , have enjoyed it very much .Hope they have made the most of the plays to realize that their level of English is improving faster than they sometimes think .

 We´d also like to point out their good behaviour in every play . On behalf of all the teachers and your teachers of English , thank you very much

  THREE CHEERS FOR YOU ALL :HIP , HIP , HURRAY ! .

Hope we can keep carrying out this activity next year .  See you .

O vernes, día 15 de abril, os alumnos/as do IES Álvaro Cunqueiro disfrutaron dunha actividade consistente na explicación e visualización de motores de barcos en miniatura feitos de modo artesanal polo mecánico naval xubilado José Manuel Hermo, PATELO como a él gústalle que o chamen. 

Estes motores son feitos coas súas mans e a axuda dun torno e sen nengún artella máis que limas aproveitando pezas de desfeito de barcos que él modela e converte nestas pezas únicas que as fai funcionar con aire comprimido.

Son numerosas as exposicións que fixo e fai, non só en Galicia, senón tamén fóra da nosa comunidade e sempre coa mesma finalidade, a de transmitir esta profesión aos rapaces.

Ao Sr Patelo acompáñao o capitán da mariña mercante D. Segundo López Viqueira quen fai una pequena demostración de utensilios mariños empregados nos barcos como sextantes, cartas náuticas, diarios de abordo, etc.

O día 2 de marzo o alumnado de Filosofía 2º de bacharelato asistiu no Verbum ó espectáculo A caverna de Platón. Unha posta en escena do grupo “O teatro resoante” na que a interpretación teatral se combina cunha gran riqueza de medios audiovisuais.

Todo iso fai que o espectador mérgullese na cuestión filosófica que Platón expuso fai máis de dous mil anos: o mundo verdadeiro, só é un mundo de sombras e apariencias xerado en unha gran medida polos medios de comunicación (mass media).

O pasado día 3 de marzo os alumnos de 2º de Bacharelato de Latín e Grego realizaron unha viaxe a Braga, visitando o Museo de Arqueoloxía Diogo de Sousa e a Oporto, donde se fixo un percorrido por distintos lugares do Casco Histórico, destacando a librería Lello e o Café Majestic. No Museo de Braga merece unha mención especial a Exposición temporal de vidro romano así coma a exposición permanente de epigrafía. Máis tarde poidemos visita-las Termas romanas e o seu contorno onde se atopan os cementos do Teatro Romano.
