EUROPEAN VISITING TEACHER

From May 6th until 17th Viktoria Pöngsen, a German teacher
 is visiting our school. It is part of a European programme where teachers can visit different schools around Europe to get to know other education systems.
Here is her own presentation in Spanish: "Me llamo Viktoria Pönsgen de Alemania. Soy profesora de español y alemán en el Max-Planck-Gymnasium en Duisburgo (http://www.max-planck-gymnasium.eu).
Duisburgo está situada en el estado federal Renania del Norte-Westfalia en el oeste de Alemania. Pero vivo en Colonia que está a 70km de Duisburgo.
Desde el 6 hasta el 17 de mayo estoy haciendo una estancia profesional en el IES Juan Antonio Pérez Mercader para tener una impresión del sistema escolar español.
Especialmente como profesora de idiomas es importante para mí ver cómo está organizado un colegio español y cómo los alumnos aprenden en España. Pero creo que tal intercambio es un gran enriquecimiento para ambos lados."



She has prepared a board full of information about Cologne (Colonia), where she lives.

 Here is a short video with the most important things to see and do in Cologne.

INTERNATIONAL BOOK DAY

Every 23rd April we celebrate International Book and Copyright Day. Why this day? Because it is the day two of the most important writers died (William Shakespeare in the English language and Miguel de Cervantes in the Spanish language).

Here is an interesting short video telling the evolution of books.

ST GEORGE'S DAY

(Information taken from https://www.timeanddate.com)

St George's Day in England remembers St George, England's patron saint. The anniversary of his death, which is on April 23, is seen as England's national day. According to legend, he was a soldier in the Roman army who killed a dragon and saved a princess.

St George's Day used to be a national holiday in England. It is now an observance that is celebrated with parades, dancing and other activities. Flags with the image of St George's cross are flown on some buildings, especially pubs, and a few people wear a red rose on their lapel. Church services on the Sunday closest to April 23 often include the hymn 'Jerusalem', written by the poet William Blake. The words describe a supposed visit to Glastonbury, England, by Jesus Christ during his youth.

April 23 is not a public holiday. Schools, stores, post offices, businesses and other organizations are open as usual. Public transport services run to their usual timetables.

The most widely recognized symbol of St George's Day is St George's cross. This is a red cross on a white background, which is often displayed as a flag. It is used as England's national flag, forming part of the Union Flag, the national flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Saint George's cross was originally the flag of the maritime Republic of Genoa.

St George is the patron saint of a number of other places, such as Bulgaria, Ethiopia, Georgia, Greece, Portugal and Russia. He is also remembered in some regional holidays, such as in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada and among the Gorani people who live in a mountainous area in the Balkans and were converted to Islam many centuries ago, but still observe St George's Day. Around the world, a number of days are devoted to St George, including April 23 and dates in November and December of the Gregorian calendar.
