3. STARTING SITUATION Na nosa escola convive moi diferente tipo de alumnado; con idades moi distintas e polo tanto en ciclos de vida distintos, tamén. É complicado conciliar normas de convivencia para todos os grupos por igual; teñen necesidades e intereses moi diferentes. Pensamos que non se relacionan ou non se coñecen entre si.

Many different types of pupils study in our highschool; they are different ages and therefore are living different life-cycles. It’s complicated to set rules of coexistence for all of them, since they have different needs and interests. We believe they don’t relate to one another or they don’t know each other well.1º Comunicación --

DISTINTAS IDADES E NECESIDADES

DIFFERENT AGES AND NEEDS

Para coñecernos e entendernos na escola, os nosos jovenscientistas decidiron levar a cabo diferentes actividades,onde tivera a posibilidade de actuar o conxunto do alumnado para dese xeito coñecerse mellor e, traballar eles mesmos, temas que teñen que tratar nos seus estudos:

In order to get to know and understand each other at school, our jovens cientistas decided to carry out different activities, in which all of our students could take part so that they could get to know each other better and so that they could develop contents in their education:


4. WORK PLAN

Propoñen participar, os alumnos maiores, como organizadores de xogos e festas dos alumnos pequenos. Dese xeito aprenden eles a organizar e a traballar en equipo para acadar obxectivos.

They suggest that older students should organise games and parties for younger students. In this way, they learn how to organize activities and work in a team in order to achieve their goals.


Pretenden tamén levar a cabo unha función divulgativa sobre a temática medioambiental e ética e que se encadra no lema de “PENSAR GLOBALMENTE, AGIR LOCALMENTE”

They also want to perform an informative role in regard to environmental and ethical subjects as expressed by the phrase “THINKING GLOBALLY, ACTING LOCALLY”
