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!!!
