Feudal Europe
Our students in Social Science in ESO2 are working in the Feudal Europe and
just have started the Romanesque Art. They have learnt some characteristics
of this art, for example the Symmetry. They have learnt it practising with
a face of the Pantocrator of Sant Climent de Taüll. They really enjoyed the
lesson and they showed that we have great artists in the school!! Well done
ESO2!!!

Visibly Chinese New Year Week
It is that time of the year again! Chinese New Year (or officially called by Chinese, ‘Chūn Jié’—
Spring Festival) was on the 12th of February this year.
Between 8th and 12th of February, we celebrated Chinese New Year with a ‘Visibly Chinese
New Year Week!’ Students enjoyed a range of themed lessons and activities to embrace
the atmosphere and culture of this biggest annual Chinese festival. The week incorporated
some cross-curricular activities with Languages, Music, Art, History, Life Skills and even PE!
We also created joint displays around the school. Together, we certainly made this Chinese
New Year visible at EIC!
(Xīn Nián Kuài Lè) -- Happy Chinese New Year.
