Hoy el Carnaval en CEM ha sido mucho más que disfraces. Ha sido creatividad, valores… y mucha ilusión.
En Infantil, nuestros pequeños superhéroes y superheroínas han llenado el cole de capas y superpoderes muy especiales: amabilidad, valentía, amistad y ganas de aprender. Porque a veces, los héroes más grandes son los más pequeños.
En Primaria, los disfraces han dado vida a los atributos del Perfil de la Comunidad de Aprendizaje del IB: indagadores, audaces, solidarios, reflexivos… Cada traje contaba una historia y representaba una forma de estar en el mundo.
Color, risas y mucha imaginación.
Porque en CEM celebramos… aprendiendo.

Today, Carnival at CEM was much more than costumes. It was creativity, values… and pure excitement.
In Infants, our little superheroes filled the school with capes and very special superpowers: kindness, courage, friendship and a love of learning. Because sometimes the greatest heroes are the smallest ones.
In Primary, costumes brought the IB Learner Profile attributes to life: inquirers, risk-takers, caring, reflective… Each outfit told a story and represented a way of being in the world.
Colour, laughter and endless imagination.
Because at CEM, we celebrate… while learning.

Hoy 2º de EP ha inaugurado un museo muy especial: su propio Museo de los Inventores.
Tras investigar a grandes figuras de la historia, han descubierto cómo inventos que usamos a diario existen gracias a mentes brillantes como Bette Nesmith Graham, creadora del Tipp-Ex; Mary Anderson, inventora del limpiaparabrisas; Hedy Lamarr, precursora de la tecnología que hoy hace posible el WiFi; y Marie Curie, referente imprescindible en la ciencia. Coincidiendo con el Día de la Mujer y la Niña en la Ciencia, hemos puesto el foco en mujeres que transformaron el mundo con sus ideas y su valentía.
El proyecto ha culminado con la presentación de sus trabajos, caracterizados como los propios inventores, ante sus compañeros de 1º de EP. Investigar, comunicar e inspirar desde pequeños.

Today, Year 2 officially opened a very special museum: their very own Inventors Museum.
After researching great figures in history, they discovered how many of the inventions we use every day exist thanks to brilliant minds such as Bette Nesmith Graham, creator of Tipp-Ex; Mary Anderson, inventor of the windshield wiper; Hedy Lamarr, whose work paved the way for the technology that makes WiFi possible today; and Marie Curie, an essential figure in science. Coinciding with the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we highlighted women who transformed the world through their ideas and courage.
The project concluded with students presenting their work—dressed as the inventors themselves—to their Year 1 classmates. Researching, communicating and inspiring from an early age.

Terminamos la semana compartiendo una clase muy especial de nuestros alumnos de 6º de Primaria, que se han sumergido en el aprendizaje con gafas de realidad virtual.
Dentro de la unidad “Inspiring People”, los alumnos están trabajando sobre personas que inspiraron o impulsaron grandes cambios en la sociedad, analizando su mensaje, impacto y legado.
Gracias a la realidad virtual, pudieron entrevistar en inglés a personajes históricos como Marie Curie, Nikola Tesla, Cleopatra o Aristóteles, viviendo la experiencia desde dentro y poniendo en práctica el idioma de una forma creativa y significativa.
Aprender historia, comunicar en inglés y desarrollar el pensamiento crítico… todo en una misma experiencia.
