Description of a picture: "The nigth of the broken glasses". Green Team.



As we can see in the picture there are three people wearing rain coats and hats. We can not know the colours of these clothes because the picture was taken in black and white.

 This picture was taken in 1938 in Germany, while Hitler was a dictator there. 
 This photo shows "The night of the broken glasses" so we can see shop windows broken. This picture reprents the injustice to Jew people at this time. In the middle there are two people looking at the destroyed shops.

Description of a picture: "The holocaust". White team

The picture shows the Holocaust in a concentration camp. It was taken during the Nazi period. It is a black and white photo where you can see many jews living in bad conditions. In the foreground there is a jew standing without clothes and he is very thin. In the background there are many jews lying in terrible beds because they are together and they haven´t opt any pillow or mattress and they use the plates as pillows. We think that this picture conveys sorrow and it shows us the importance of Human Rights (freedom, liberty, eguality...), which the Jews didn´t have.

Describing a picture in English! Blue team


The photo shows Hitler with the Nazi flag. The picture of Hitler is black and white. At the bottom there is the flag in colours and at the top there is the dictator, Hitler.
The Emperor, Hitler, is serious and thoughtful.
The flag has got a black swastika cross in the middle of a white circle and the rest of the rectangular flag red. 
The picture isn´t attractive because is dull. We think Hitler has his look in an objetive, which is to get a big nation with German people.
The flag might be a symbol of repression of Jews and other people who didn´t belong to Germany and a symbol of Fascism.

Description of a picture in english

In the pictures, I can see a man. I think that this person is a soldier. He is not doing anything. This person is thinking and he is very serious. I think that the man is around 40 years old. I think the name of this pictures is "The Big Soldier". In the picture there is only a soldier, this soldier maybe is tall and strong. His eyes are black and small. He is wearing a uniform and on his head he has got a hat. His uniform is green and red and his hat is black and red. This is the description of the soldier.
The picture shows two military cars. I think it was taken in the WWII. This photo is a coloured photo.

In the background you can see a very big official building and a lot of people. In the foreground there are two military man in two military cars. The cars are are dark green. On the corner of the cars there is a yellow flag. The cars have four big wheels. Inside the upper part of the cars there are two soldiers. They are wearing helmets and green clothes like the car. They have a machine gun in theirs hands.

Maybe the cars were in a parade because the goverment wanted to show their power.

In this picture I can see the Führer of Germany, he is Adolf Hitler. He has a flag of his Nazi Party in the right hand. In the background of the picture I see behind Hitler million of soldiers were supporting the Nazi ideology. All of them support the same flag of the Nazi Party. Also, there is an eagle in the sky. The main character is wearing a uniform and on the left arm he has a symbol of Nazism. He has his hand up, which represents the power of all Germany. He was the dictator of Germany. This picture represents the Nazi ideology and the power of one person, the dictator. Pink Team.

Poets at El Fontanal

During the sessions before our Book Week the students in this group were working on a project that integrated the areas of Social Studies, Spanish Language and Literature, English and French. The main theme of the project was the figure of Federico García Lorca, who died 75 years ago. The students learned about his stay in New York, his literary piece Poet in New York and the economic crash of that period. You can click here to get a detailed view of the didactic guide for the project.

The end product was a marvellous book of poems in three languages (Spanish, English and French), which was displayed during the aforementioned Book Week. The students, who did an awesome work, also made the visit to the library more enjoyable by reading in front of the visitors their poems.

Here you can enjoy a great poem by José Alejandro, who was chosen by his classmates the best poet in English. Congratulations!
