LTSDU Breaking News!


This week's local newspaper 08centvint has published an article to disseminate the three Erasmus + we're implenting this year at INS Marina.

Among them, LTSDU project is mentioned in relation to the last teachers' mobility to Pétér András Gimnázium és Kóllegium in Szeghalom (Hungary), where we met other teachers from Turkey, Italy and Czech Republic to discuss and evaluate actions done during the 1st year of the project as well as suggesting and reaching an agreement on future 2nd year actions to be implemented at our school. These are our mobility's photo slide and meeting presentation:

Jornada de les Arts 2017

   During two days, we have been celebrating "Jornada de les Arts" in La Llagosta. In this conference, we showed La Llagosta community (parents, authorities and students) all we've accomplished during the year. One of the issues will be our Erasmus + Project LTSDU, and we've made this video to show the success of the latest Science Fair  #ErasmusPlusCat #letthesciencediscoveruspain

Science Fair 2017

After a hard work of diffusion spreading out our porsters and flyers, we've been hosting our Science Fair at Marina high school during two days, 25-26 May 2017. Our Erasmus team, made up by 4t ESO students and science teachers, contributed to host this event where students, parents and authorities were welcome.

Our students, by means of experiments and their exhibicions in English language as well as promoting the learning method based on laboratories, explained concepts related to microscope nature, robotics, filling up an aquifer, ph tester or acid rain among others.

We would like to thank our mayor, Oscar Sierra, to participate and visit us collaborating then with the increasement of scientific knowledge in the scholar community in La Llagosta.

You can preview pictures from the event here.

Project Updates Meeting


This Friday we have met with our high school's headteachers to share with them all the activities, meetings, experiments and cultural trips we did during the last mobility in San Giovanni Valdarno (Italy) last March. Here you've got some pictures and our presentation:




  
                       

Roses, books ... and diplomas!

   On the 23rd April every year, we celebrate Sant Jordi's day. In Catalonia the World Book Day becomes an especially romantic festivity. The people in Catalonia celebrate the day of their patron saint, Sant Jordi, with a curious tradition; since that day, couples exchange gifts: a book for the men and a rose for the women. Book and flower stalls are set up along the streets of Barcelona. They are filled will people walking around stalls, looking for a gift for their beloved, and for their family and friends, too.

 This festival comes from a mixture of traditions; one the one hand, it coincides with the fact that Sant Jordi has been the patron saint of Catalonia since the 15th century; on the other hand, it comes from the famous legend of St George and the dragon and the old medieval tradition of visiting the Chapel of Sant Jordi in the Government Palace, where a rose fair or "lovers" fair used to take place.


   This is why Sant Jordi is also the patron saint of lovers in Catalonia. On this special day, we decided that it was the best moment to reward our three most voted logos at school and give our students a diploma as a prize for their effort and creativity.

Flipped Classroom PPT

   During our last mobility in ISIS Valdarno school in San Giovani Valdarno (Florence), we were introducing some previously chosen methologies that could be used in order to improve our science lessons at school, as a way to engage our students in science. Ours was Flipped Classroom

   We also introduce our attempts to use modern methodologies at high school such as flipped classroom, inmersive learning,cooperative learning, BOYD, learning by doing as well as project-based learning in order to get our students into science.  Here you've got the presentation that we explained and shared with our partners.

Short Term Projects Teachers Meeting @ Isis Valdarno March 2017

   From the 6th to the 11th March we've spent a few days at ISIS Valdarno school where all the teachers have taken part in different activities and project meetings.

    Our guests, the Italian teachers, made us a tour around the three different centres they've got, where we've been observing lessons, visiting laboraties and doing some experiments. We've also had some meetings to analyse the different methologies suggested to improve our science lessons such as Finnish Educational System, Flipped Classroom or our Czech partners introduced us to their Experimentarium park. We also met to decide future mobilities' schedules; among others, Czech Republic in May 2017 and Hungary in October 2017.

   It's been a rewarding trip where we have learnt a lot from our Italian partners, we also got into contact with the Italian culture and their daily life in Tuscany.


          

Carnival Day @ INS Marina

   On the 24th February, staff, teachers and students celebrated what is called as "Carnestoltes", that is to day, our Carnival day at high school. It's the day to celebrate it in a fancy dress, dancing and eating chocolate non- stop!

WORLD AIDS DAY on the 1st December 2016

   World AIDS Day is held on the 1st December each year and it is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died. Therefore, all the partners of our project also had the chance to show our support holding red sheets to form a lace in front of the townhall in La LLagosta, Barcelona. Good job!


Experiment in the Physics Classroom

   Our Physics teacher, Carlos Garcia, has developed a quick experiment in which students have seen how they can slow down the accelerated dropping motion of an object until getting a simple MRU thanks to the change of the fluid density.They have used air, water and glycerine. 
   By doing these experiments, students can learn more actively.

Teaching staff Meeting Post Transnational.

   Yesterday we met all the teachers at INS Marina and we introduced them the project, its objectives and results expected as well as showing them all the tasks we've been doing these last months.

First, we focused on the project difusion on the local newspaper 08centvuit , the school's magazine, creation of the project's blog and other social networks. We also talked about the project team formed by science teachers and students from 4th ESO.

Secondly, we mentioned the last transnational meeting hold between the 30th November to 3rs of December in 2016 where we met each other, we introduced our schools and school systems, and we also spent some afternoons in some cultural activities such as going to science exhibitions at Museu Blau or Cosmocaixa. We thanked to Óscar Sierra, La Llagosta's mayor, for his tour. It was the best way to meet the village's culture.

In conclusion, we state that this project will be quite positive for our students to improve their science subjects marks'  but also, it's a great chance for them to visit another school in another culture and get to know their customs and values.

We're on the news!

Our two Erasmus + projects are on the news. The paper from La Llagosta 08centvint interviewed us to get to know a little bit better what we and our students are doing in the two different projects. Our project is being described as an expected improvement in scientific subjects among students from 4th ESO at high school. It will also promote the collaborative work, the learning by doing and laboratory-based learning in subjects such as biology, chemistry and physics.
