A memorable journey to London

 london26

During the first week of September, between the 4th and the 9th, the 11th grade students of Escola Básica e Secundária Ferreira de Castro had the amazing opportunity to visit some of London's most iconic attractions and places. They were accompanied by their teachers Ângela Costa, Isabel Moutinho, Júlia Lopes, and Marta Pinho.

On their first day, after leaving their luggage at the hotel, they learned how to take the underground and headed to the Madame Tussauds Museum. There, they were excited to see wax replicas of various people ranging from actors to musicians, the British Royal Family, Princess Diana and iconic movie characters and franchises. In the evening, they experienced an amazing musical theatre production of Mamma Mia! by the theatre company Delfont Mackintosh Theatres.

During the morning of the second day, they visited the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum. Some students even got to visit the Victoria and Albert Museum, had that been their preference. All three museums offered an enriching experience, allowing the students to expand their scientific vocabulary in a fun, entertaining way. During the afternoon they walked around London, visiting parks, Buckingham Palace and the Big Ben. In the evening, they explored Piccadilly Circus and Chinatown freely, enhancing their conversational English.

On the third day, and arguably the most tiring day, they walked around Camden Town during the morning, learning more about the local culture and, in the afternoon, they had the opportunity to walk the Millennium Bridge and see St.Paul's Cathedral and the Shakespeare's Globe as well as the Tate Modern Museum. After dinner, they observed the London Eye and the Big Ben at night with their lights lit up, taking in the beautiful view.

During the fourth day, in the morning, they saw the Tower Bridge before travelling to Greenwich and, during the afternoon they saw a breathtaking view of London while inside the London Eye. After what felt like a couple of minutes in the London Eye they visited the London Dungeon, an immersive story-driven horror experience that left some excited and some scared to continue the journey inside. After leaving, they visited the famous Leake Street Arches, observing various graffiti.

During what should have been their last day, the students visited the British Museum and the Covent Garden Market. Some students also visited the National Art Gallery, expanding their knowledge on art from the 13th to the 20th century. After lunch, they headed towards the airport to catch their flight and, upon arriving at the check-in, found out that their flight had been cancelled. After tiring hours of waiting they discovered that they would have to spend the night at the Gatwick Airport until their flight in the afternoon of the following day. The night was unforgiving as the students and teachers slept on the cold floor of the airport, barely having any news about their situation.

Overall, even though they had that problem at the airport and walked a lot during the day, this was an enriching and fun experience, where the students had the opportunity to learn more about a different culture and country as well as practice their English skills and make new friends through an experience that a textbook could never provide. It was a remarkable experience that they will always remember and cherish.

Agrupamento

assembleia

 

Na passada quarta-feira, dia 21 de fevereiro, realizou-se uma importante reunião entre alunos do 8°A e 11°G, turmas selecionadas para representar o Agrupamento neste projeto,  e representantes da Assembleia Municipal.

O objetivo é envolver os jovens nos assuntos municipais, focando especificamente o tema dos parques.
Ao longo da sessão, os alunos ouviram atentamente os representantes da assembleia municipal, conhecendo melhor a ideia e compreendendo as vantagens e desvantagens, para terem sucesso na reabilitação dos parques.
A presença de representantes municipais destacou o compromisso de envolver os jovens nos processos decisórios. Este esforço colaborativo sinaliza um passo promissor para a criação de espaços mais verdes e inclusivos dentro da nossa comunidade, onde as vozes dos jovens são valorizadas e ouvidas.

Os alunos do 11ºG e 8ºA participaram na reunião de esclarecimento de dúvidas no âmbito da Assembleia Municipal de Jovens (AMJ). 
O tema selecionado na anterior edição da AMJ para este ano foi CONHECER, DIVULGAR E QUALIFICAR OS PARQUES, MOINHOS E NATUREZA DE OLIVEIRA DE AZEMÉIS.

As coordenadoras do projeto: dra. Laurinda Almeida, Coordenadora; dra. Márcia Gomes, Secretária, e dra. Ana Pinto referiram, no decorrer da sessão, diversos aspetos que englobam o tema central, a política em formato democrático, mas também para que serve e como funciona a Assembleia Municipal.
No período da reunião foram também dadas sugestões para o desenvolvimento do tema, bem como instruções para a apresentação do projeto, a ser realizado no dia 16 de maio, pelos deputados efetivos e os deputados suplentes das duas turmas.
Esta conferência foi essencial não só para a aquisição de novas visões sobre as ações e trabalhos feitos numa assembleia, como também ajudou na elaboração de novas ideias para o desenvolvimento da atividade.
