Halloween and Finados: different ways to perceive death (31 October, IES Adeje)

Halloween and Finados: different ways to perceive death, a shared feeling


Our IES Adeje celebrated  this special day in many ways: different departments (Language, Drawing, History, Technology and English) elaborated activities and materials to represent death and how our beloved ones are remembered. Students and teachers produced representations with varied materials, podcasts with horror stories and anecdotes, photographs and illustrations.

Knowing different celebrations help us to understand other cultures and spot similarities and differences with respect and emotion.

Students from 1º ESO, 2º ESO, 4º ESO.


Hope you like our work! 💀👻

Portugal Day - June 10th - ENSINUS ETP/ INETE

Imagen
June 10 th  is the official national holiday of Portugal . T his day is called ‘Dia de Portugal, de Camões e das Comunidades Portuguesas,’ in English ‘Day of Portugal, Camões, and the Portuguese Communities.’ The day pays tribute to Luís de Camões, who is considered as the country’s greatest national icon. He is most known for his poem, which narrates the story of Portuguese explorations in the 15th century and has since been accepted as a national poem in Portugal. However, because his birth date is uncertain, his death date, June 10, 1580, is commemorated as Portugal’s National Day.   The Carnation Revolution,  which happened in 1974, expanded   the celebrations to include the Portuguese communities , Portuguese migrants, and their descendants living all over the world. This year we prepared an exhibition which celebrates the importance of Portuguese communities and invited students who were born there to take a photo near their flag.

Writing activities - Contributions to the school newspaper

  Students wrote a news article under the headline "NICE WORK". Texts were posted on the wall (pic).  The best text was selected by the class. Four boys won an award for making an extraordinary article about cats. Today, at school, 4 students were tasked with writing a story for the school newspaper. Not knowing what to write about, they decided to look for inspiration on the internet. That’s when all of a sudden, a cat appeared at their feet. After seeing the cat, they came up with the idea of writing about cats. Once the teacher read the article, she was so emotional that she started crying. In the end she gave them a trophy for their hard work. David Lopes, Micael Lopes, Rafael Ribeiro e Rodrigo Martins TGPSI22/02
