Field trip to El Palmar de Troya’s Reservoir on the Day of Andalusia

After a festive morning breakfast of tasty tostadas, orange juice, and a cake contest, students prepared for a long day’s journey to El Palmar’s reservoir.

Whether on bike or on foot, the day was filled with laughs, songs, and sightseeing! Teachers and students walked approximately 15 - 20 kilometers, and ended the day with a visit to a small castle followed by lunch.

♥♥♥ Happy Valentine's Day ♥♥♥

Love is in the air! ♥

And in Spain couples (novios) will confess their love to each other with kisses, hugs, and love.

But in America, Valentine's Day (Feb. 14th) is a day to love to everyone. Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister, Grandma, Grandpa, and all family members participate in this joyous holiday.

We send valentine's day cards, roses, chocolate, candies, and even money to loved ones on Valentine's because they are closest to us.

Boys usually receive gifts such as money, watches, cologne, sporting goods, or clothes. Girls get teddy bears, rings, necklaces, cosmetic products, or romantic dinners. This day is about love.

Here is a picture of my cousin Bianca and me wearing red for Valentine's Day 2014. Happy Valentine's Day to all of I.E.S. Torre del Aguila!

Red is for Love!

Happy Valentine's from 4th ESO!

Meet Robert: Our Newest Auxiliar

Hello! What's up? My name is Robert and I am the newest auxiliar to invade the classrooms of I.E.S. Torre del Águila. I am 23 years old and I have lived the majority of my life in Albemarle, a small town located in North Carolina, United States. I am not from California!

My home state, North Carolina. I live 40 minutes from Charlotte.

When I am not working during the week, I am usually in Sevilla exploring the city and sightseeing. Some of my favorite places to visit are la Plaza de España, la Torre de Oro, and Las Setas because they are famous and historic landmarks. Aside from that, I go out with friends on the weekend and some days I meet with other auxiliares to share our experiences in Spain!

My first time at Las Setas.

Something that most people don't know about me is that I'm an ex-skateboarder, the owner of a YouTube account where I earn extra income, and that I have been a student of Spanish for the last 6 years. I am also a big fan of rap, radio, and urban music, listening to artists ranging from Drake to Miley Cyrus.

I am excited to make a great 2014-2015 school cycle. I hope to help everyone improve their English by sharing my life stories and experiences. Ideally, my main goal here is to show students that there is a big world beyond El Palmar de Troya, and that learning a foreign language makes it possible to travel and see the world.

With this I leave all the faculty, staff, and students of I.E.S. Torre del Águila with a special celebration message: 

¡Feliz Navidad y Nuevo Año!   

Violence against Women - 25th November

The day November 25th was chosen as the International Day of Violence against Women. This month, students in our school have designed posters and made photographs to raise awareness against this form of violence.

Last 25th November, prizes were given to the students who designed the best photographs. It was a good day to remember that  everyone has a responsibility to prevent and end violence against women and girls.

Welcome to our bilingual site!

This school year 14/15 we have opened this new site where you can read posts about issues related to British and American culture, special events, and celebrations at our school.
