Esta semana se entregaron en el colegio los certificados de Cambridge y de la Alianza Francesa, un momento muy especial para nuestros alumnos y sus familias. 🎓✨
Y, aunque lo que se ve en el escenario es importante, también lo es todo lo que ocurre antes: preparar el sonido, coordinar la música, revisar grabaciones, ajustar cámaras y dejar cada detalle listo para que el acto salga perfecto.
Gracias a Andrés, Ignacio y Álex por su trabajo imprescindible detrás de los focos. Sin ellos, nada sonaría, nada se vería… y nada fluiría igual. 💙

This week, Cambridge and Alliance Française certificates were awarded at school — a meaningful moment for our students and their families. 🎓✨
And while what happens on stage is important, so is everything that takes place beforehand: setting up the sound, coordinating the music, checking recordings, adjusting cameras and making sure every detail is ready for the event to run smoothly.
Thank you to Andrés, Ignacio and Álex for their essential work behind the scenes. Without them, nothing would sound right, look right… or run as seamlessly. 💙
En Pre-School no contamos las estaciones… las vivimos.
La lluvia se convierte en descubrimiento, el patio en un pequeño laboratorio natural y cada día en una nueva aventura sensorial.
Bajo el paraguas, nuestros alumnos exploran, preguntan, sienten y aprenden acompañados de sus profes, que transforman cada momento en una oportunidad para crecer. 🌧️💛

In Pre-School we don’t talk about the seasons… we live them.
Rain becomes discovery, the playground turns into a little outdoor lab, and every day is a new sensory adventure.
Under the umbrella, our pupils explore, wonder, feel and learn—always supported by teachers who turn every moment into a chance to grow. 🌧️💛
🎉 Ayer celebramos la primera parte de la Ceremonia oficial de entrega de Certificados de Trinity, Cambridge y DELF con Infantil y Primaria.
Una mañana llena de ilusión y primeros logros. 🌍✨
Tuvimos el honor de contar con la presencia de los representantes de de todas las organizaciones:
Gemma Fernández, Jana Varoscakova, Gloria Jiménez, Adriana Real y Sabrina Clemente, que hicieron este momento aún más especial.
Gracias a nuestros profesores de Infantil y Primaria y al impulso de nuestro director Luis Carlos, que sitúa los idiomas en el centro del proyecto Meres.
💙 Esto era solo el comienzo…
👉 Continúa en la Parte 2.

Los alumnos de 2.º de Bachillerato visitaron la Escuela Politécnica de Ingeniería de Gijón para conocer de cerca algunas de sus líneas de trabajo más innovadoras.
Durante la jornada recorrieron el MediaLab, donde pudieron descubrir proyectos de diseño, prototipado y fabricación digital, y conocer de primera mano cómo la creatividad y la tecnología se combinan para dar forma a nuevas soluciones.
También visitaron la asociación de estudiantes 4Space, un espacio en el que alumnos universitarios desarrollan proyectos vinculados a la ingeniería aeroespacial, la robótica y la investigación aplicada. Nuestros estudiantes tuvieron la oportunidad de conversar con ellos, ver sus trabajos y entender cómo es el día a día en un entorno universitario altamente tecnológico.
Una experiencia inspiradora que acerca a nuestros alumnos a su futura etapa académica y a las posibilidades que ofrece el mundo de la ingeniería. 🚀🔧📚

Students from Year 13 visited the Polytechnic School of Engineering in Gijón to learn first-hand about some of its most innovative lines of work.
During the visit, they explored the MediaLab, where they discovered projects involving design, prototyping and digital manufacturing, and learned how creativity and technology come together to create new solutions.
They also visited the 4Space student association, a space where university students develop projects related to aerospace engineering, robotics and applied research. Our students had the opportunity to talk with them, see their work and understand what daily life is like in a highly technological university environment.
An inspiring experience that brings our students closer to their future academic paths and to the many possibilities offered by the world of engineering. 🚀🔧📚
Solidaridad que se aprende haciendo 🤝💙
Nuestros alumnos de Bachillerato, dentro de la asignatura CAS (Creativity, Activity & Service), participaron como voluntarios en la campaña de recogida de alimentos del Banco de Alimentos.
Durante la jornada, colaboraron atendiendo a los donantes, clasificando productos y trabajando en equipo para contribuir a una causa que ayuda a miles de familias. Una experiencia que les permitió vivir de primera mano el valor del compromiso social, la empatía y la responsabilidad.
Pequeñas acciones que dejan una gran huella. 💛
Gracias a nuestros estudiantes por su dedicación y a todas las personas que colaboraron con sus donaciones.

Aprender del tiempo… ¡y al aire libre! 🌬🍃📏
Nuestros alumnos de 2.º de Primaria disfrutaron hoy de una mañana diferente, combinando Science y Matemáticas en nuestro entorno natural.
Primero, salieron al exterior para observar el tiempo en directo, utilizando el anemómetro y la veleta del colegio. ¡Nada como medir el viento de verdad para entender cómo funcionan las herramientas meteorológicas! 🌪️🧭
Después, aprovecharon el paseo para recoger hojas de distintos árboles, que más tarde clasificaron y compararon en el aula dentro del proyecto de Science. Un ejercicio perfecto para fomentar la observación, la curiosidad y el trabajo científico. 🍂🔎
Y para cerrar la actividad, trabajaron una dinámica de Matemáticas manipulativas, donde tuvieron que medir, ordenar y comparar objetos naturales, aplicando conceptos de longitud, tamaño y estimación de forma divertida y práctica. 📏✨
Una jornada completa donde nuestros alumnos aprendieron investigando, experimentando y viviendo el aprendizaje en primera persona. 💙🌍

Learning about the weather… and outdoors! 🌬🍃📏
Our Year 2 Primary students enjoyed a different kind of morning today, combining Science and Maths in our natural environment.
They began by heading outside to observe the weather in real time, using the school’s anemometer and weather vane. There’s nothing like measuring real wind to understand how meteorological tools work! 🌪️🧭
Next, they took advantage of their walk to collect leaves from different trees, which they later classified and compared in the classroom as part of their Science project. A perfect exercise to promote observation, curiosity, and scientific thinking. 🍂🔎
To finish the activity, they completed a hands-on Maths task in which they measured, ordered, and compared natural objects—applying concepts such as length, size, and estimation in a fun and practical way. 📏✨
A full and enriching day where our students learned by investigating, experimenting, and experiencing knowledge first-hand. 💙🌍
