Easter is the springtime holiday marking the rebirth of Jesus and the renewal of the Christian faith.
It is a blessed time for the faithful to celebrate the life, death and resurrection of the Savior... and a magical time for children to enjoy chocolate bunnies, marshmallow chicks and jellybean-filled Easter eggs.
Here there are some craft projects, games, recipes and so much more for your entertaiment:

HISTORY OF THE INTERNATIONAL WOMEN´S DAY
--------------------------------------------------------------
This event was originated in 1908 when women garment makers in New York demonstrated to demand better working conditions. They worked in appalling conditions, earned half of men's wages, died prematurely from poor health and didn't have the right to vote.
In 1910 an international conference of women resolved that each year a day should be set aside to press for women's demands. Since then International Women's Day (IWD) has been celebrated around the world each year on March 8. From its inception International Women's Day has stood for equality between women and men.
At the same time in England, women were meeting and marching to demand the right to vote. The Suffragettes adopted the colours of Green, White and Violet to stand for their slogan "Give Women the Vote". Since then these colours have been used to symbolise the struggle for women to obtain equal rights.
In Sydney, IWD was first celebrated in 1928 at a rally that called for equal pay for equal work, an eight hour day for shop workers, no piece-work, a base wage for the unemployed and paid annual holidays. Rallies and marches have been held throughout Australia every year since.
Of course, much has improved since then, but we still have some way to go to achieve equal opportunity for women, not only in Australia but throughout the world.
So IWD is about remembering the battles long fought to build a society that is just and fair to all its members a society in which diversity, tolerance, safety, social justice and equality between women and men is a given. And its about celebrating what women have done, are doing and can do.

BBC's 2010 calendar features photos of costumes and celebrations from around the world.
A long time ago the year was marked out with special days which marked the passing year. These were days of celebrations where people would do things, eat things or make things which they would not normally do.
Cheese rolling, Nettle Eating, Toe Wrestling, Bog Snorkelling are just a few of the strange, bizarre, wacky, eccentric and even mad festivals still taking place in Britain today.
The Cure is a British band who were very popular in the late eighties. This is one of their most well-known songs. It was released in 1992 and nominated for a Grammy Award that same year. You weren’t even born at that time, but why not enjoy a classic pop hit from time to time?

En esta jornada del Día de la Lectura en Andalucía contaremos con dos actividades muy interesantes:
Por un lado, el alumnado de Bachillerato de nuestro IES mantendrá un encuentro literario con la periodista y autora de algunas obras de temática de género, Ángeles Caso. La escritora presentará su última obra "Contra el viento" ganadora del Premio Planeta 2009 y nos hablará de su trayectoria como novelista..El acto, que se enmarca dentro de las actividades de la Semana Literaria, tendrá lugar en el Museo Picasso de nuestra ciudad.
También hoy , gracias a la colaboración de la editorial Vicens Vives, podremos asistir en nuestro salón de actos a una sesión de cuentacuentos, basado en la famosa obra del escritor inglés Charles Dickens " Cuento de Navidad ", por cierto muy actual, no sólo por la temática adecuada a estas fechas, sino también por su reciente aparición en cartelera.
Por último , desde el centro se tienen programadas lecturas que se irán haciendo a lo largo del curso para desarrollar la competencia lingüística del alumnado. Así , por ejemplo los alumnos de 1º de Eso leerán durante este curso " EL Gigante egoista y otros cuentos" de Oscar Wilde: http://www.cuentosparachicos.com/BIL/cuentosclasicos/HappyPrince1.htm
AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE IN THE EMERALD ISLAND!
A los docentes siempre nos ha entusiasmado ver la voracidad con la que los jóvenes se enfrentan al mundo para contemplar cómo viven, con ojos abiertos de par en par, las nuevas experiencias. Por eso desde elDepartamento de Inglés queremos seguir promoviendo este tipo de proyectos como el del viaje y estancia en Irlanda de este año , para así poder seguir descubriendo en sus rostros, sorprendidos y entusiasmados, al joven vehemente que todos añoramos. ¡O quizás todavía llevemos dentro!
