Una ciudad también puede ser un aula. 🎨🏛️
Nuestros alumnos de 6.º de Primaria han visitado el Museo de Bellas Artes de Asturias y recorrido el casco histórico de Oviedo para acercarse a la historia a través del arte y del patrimonio que nos rodea.
Observar una obra, detenerse ante una fachada y descubrir las huellas de la ciudad medieval: distintas formas de conectar lo que aprendemos con el mundo que tenemos delante.
Aprender fuera del aula también nos enseña a mirar. 💙

A city can be a classroom too. 🎨🏛️
Our final-year Primary pupils visited the Museum of Fine Arts of Asturias and explored Oviedo’s historic centre, discovering history through art and the heritage around us.
Looking closely at a painting, pausing in front of a building and discovering traces of the medieval city: different ways to connect classroom learning with the world before us.
Learning beyond the classroom helps us see things differently. 💙

Solo 47 colegios en España ofrecen el continuo IB. Meres es uno de ellos. 💙
Este año celebramos 35 años como institución del Bachillerato Internacional, y los días 14, 15 y 16 de octubre recibimos a seis evaluadores del IB. El equipo de visita del continuo del IB estuvo liderado por Over González.
Una evaluación que se realiza cada cinco años para revisar cómo desarrollamos sus programas, identificar fortalezas y seguir mejorando la educación de nuestros alumnos.
Gracias a nuestras coordinadoras IB por liderar este proceso con tanta dedicación, y a todo el colegio —equipo, alumnos y familias— por vuestra implicación y por hacer que estos días fueran tan bien.
35 años aprendiendo. Y seguimos.

Trick or treat… ¡y muchas ganas de aprender! 🎃📚
En 1.º de Primaria, Halloween llegó al aula con actividades de Floppy’s Phonics, trabajo en equipo y unos certificados que nuestros pequeños protagonistas mostraron con mucha ilusión.
Fue una forma de seguir practicando inglés, compartir descubrimientos y disfrutar aprendiendo juntos. 💙

El deporte también nos enseña a sentirnos mejor. 💙
Alumnos de 2.º y 3.º de ESO tomaron la palabra para compartir con sus compañeros de 5.º y 6.º de Primaria algo que conocen por experiencia propia: cómo el deporte influye en su bienestar, les ayuda a desconectar, a compartir, a superarse y a sentirse bien.
Una actividad entre etapas en la que los mayores se convierten también en referentes para los más pequeños, hablando desde sus propias vivencias.
Además, contamos con la visita de Gévora Durán, Marta Nieto y Renata Aguirre, del Real Oviedo Femenino, que compartieron con nuestros alumnos su experiencia desde el deporte.
Porque cuidarnos también se aprende. Y muchas veces, se aprende mejor escuchándonos unos a otros. 💛

Sport also teaches us how to feel better. 💙
Students from Years 8 and 9 took the lead in sharing with our Year 5 and Year 6 Primary pupils something they know from their own experience: how sport can support wellbeing, help us switch off, connect with others, overcome challenges and simply feel good.
An activity across different year groups in which older students also become role models for the younger ones, speaking from their own experiences.
We were also joined by Gévora Durán, Marta Nieto and Renata Aguirre from Real Oviedo Femenino, who shared their own experiences through sport with our students.
Because learning how to look after ourselves matters too. And sometimes, we learn it best by listening to one another. 💛

Lo que de verdad importa empieza mucho antes de arrancar el autobús. 💙
La seguridad en el transporte escolar también se prepara, se revisa y se entrena.
Por eso, nuestro equipo ha participado en una formación práctica centrada en seguir cuidando cada trayecto y cada momento que nuestros alumnos pasan en el autobús.
Porque detrás de algo tan cotidiano como ir y volver del colegio hay organización, responsabilidad y muchas personas pendientes de que todo funcione como debe.
Seguir aprendiendo también es esto: revisar lo que hacemos cada día para hacerlo cada vez mejor.

What really matters begins long before the bus starts moving. 💙
School transport safety also requires preparation, review and training.
That is why our team has taken part in practical training focused on continuing to make every journey, and every moment our students spend on the bus, as safe as possible.
Because behind something as everyday as travelling to and from school, there is organisation, responsibility and a team of people making sure everything runs as it should.
Continuing to learn also means reviewing what we do every day so we can keep doing it better.

En Arts, crear también significa observar, medir y probar. 🎨📐
Compás en mano, nuestros alumnos trabajan formas, ritmo y composición a partir de trazos sencillos que poco a poco van tomando forma.
Una clase para experimentar, corregir, volver a intentar y descubrir que creatividad y precisión pueden ir perfectamente de la mano.
Porque aprender a crear también es aprender a mirar de otra manera. 💛

In Arts, creating also means observing, measuring and experimenting. 🎨📐
With compasses in hand, our students explore shape, rhythm and composition, starting from simple lines that gradually take on a life of their own.
A lesson built around experimenting, adjusting, trying again and discovering that creativity and precision can work perfectly together.
Because learning to create also means learning to see things differently. 💛
