Year 7 in Arqueopinto
We are back from a great day in Arqueopinto. It was a wonderful day out with lots of activities and workshops. Samuel and Iván (our tour guides) did explain very well the evolution of settlements, as we did in Geography last term and other issues about different tribes and groups of people such as Celts, Iberians (Carpetanos) and Romans, as you have learned in History too. They gave us incredible information about the evolution of people and cultures, the same as Mercedes did in "Conocimiento del Medio". Overall I think the activity we enjoyed quite a lot was watching and practicing the war techniques of Romans and Carpetanos. Here you have some pictures of our day out.

EARTH HOUR 2019
We are talking about different physical and human geography issues through key stage 3 and 4, and as geographers and human beings we need to pay attention to our environment and look after it.
Like every year I like to post information about "Earth hour" on here. Today's video is going to explain this global movement that began a few years ago and we could all do as a gesture to show that we really care about the environment, other people and ourselves.
Do not forget that the "earth hour" should be something to be done not just one day for an hour. Watch and share before the end of March!!!

GLOBAL STRIKE FOR FUTURE, Years 10,11,12,13 (key stage 4 and 5)
Thousands of young climate change activists in at least 71 countries will skip school on
Friday 15th March in what may be one of the biggest environmental protests in history.
“We are the voiceless future of humanity. Now we will make our voices heard. On 15 March, we will protest on every continent”
At Montessori we do not want our pupils to strike but we are happy for them to act against climate change.
ACTIVITY
The Year 11s have organised a no car day in school on Friday 15th.
This means that all pupils, parents and teachers are encouraged to come to school either walking or on public transport.
Our year 11 activists will be at the school gate to collect donations /fines from all those who do arrive by private car and from any other willing givers.
The money collected will go to a charity* supporting the protection of our planet. *(see logo)
We encourage all our pupils and parents to participate fully in this initiative!!!

Rural to urban migration ...Year 8s
Just a quick message to give you a link with information about "rural to urban migration" in Spain. We have been talking about the push and pull factors and we used examples from countries around the world. I want to provide this other example but about the country you are living now. Have a look and try to find all the factors and maybe some new ones too.
