Tamara’s final poster
As a souvenir of the first COMENIUS year, Tamara created a poster with her associations with the project.
Paper dolls
These paper dolls were designed with different kinds of cloth to show the fashion both of three particular eras and clothes of the workers at that time.
DRAWINGS: the economy in 1750, 1825 and 1900
Here are some of the drawings that our pupils have made in relation to the economy in different periods of the Industrial Revolution.
1750 The most important work was in farming - food and wool production in particular.
1750 Steam power was used to pump water from some mines.
1750 All industries were small-scale. Manufacturing was done in people's homes or in workshops attached to their homes.
1750 The power to make machines work was provided by waterwheels, or by horses, or by human hands or feet.
1825 Many people still worked in small workshops, but some industries were now based in factories.
1825 Farmers were growing more food than in 1750.
1825 Steam power was used to drive machines in factories.
1825 The cotton industry was now bigger and more important than the wool industry.
1900 The most important industries were coal, iron, steel and textiles.
1900 Most industry was now based in factories.
1900 Many farmers now used machines, although they were still mostly horse powered.
1900 Steam power had been introduced into most industries, even in small factories and workshops.
An anti-slavery campaign
Here you are some of our anti-slavery campaigns. As you all know, Britain’s trade with the West Indies depended on SLAVERY. So our students had to investigate the tragic story of slavery in detail. And this is their result…
Why are we against the slave trade?
CLIL UNIT: The Ancien Régime and the Enlightenment
In our first year project the Spanish participants have prepared a CLIL Unit. It deals with the antecedents of the Industrial Revolution: the Ancien Régime and the Enlightenment. Go to the European Shared Treasure web page if you want to have a look at the Student’s Book and the Teacher’s Book. Once you are on the page write Young people tracing the Industrial Revolution on the title search and click.
Our next CLIL unit is going to be about the Industrial Revolution.
We hope you like them.
First mobility to Kehl
We prepared a power point presentation about the visit of our Spanish partners in Kehl. It was a very nice time and we are very much looking forward to getting to know Catalonia!

Comenius Week
Two weeks ago (2nd-9th May) we celebrated the European Comenius Week. It was a great occasion to present the project to the students and teachers of our school.
We had an exhibition which included a Power Point presentation of photos taken in our trip to Kehl as well as posters and different material made by all participants in the project.
We hope everybody enjoyed it!
Catalan students visit Kehl
On Sunday 27th March, the Catalan students visited their partners in Kehl (Germany). We spent there eleven fantastic days!! German and Spanish lessons, exchange of projects, cultural visits, etc.
We were welcomed at the Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden airport and it was a great way to arrive. Here you are a photo of that moment.
Our arrival
They drove us up to their school, where we spent really nice moments.
We can’t forget all the visits they carefully prepared for us. Thank you!
Catalan and German projects, Spanish and German lessons, art activities… and plenty of good memories and photos.
This mobility to Germany has been possible due to the grant that we have been given by the Lifelong Learning Programme carried out by the European Union.
