Dioniso and technologies

Nuestro alumnado de 6º realizó una visita al Museo Nacional de Arte Romano en Mérida. La visita se centró en Dioniso, Dios de la fertilidad y el vino.


Alumnos de 6º B con nuestro profesor de Educación Física Ángel Tato Bermejo.

Este taller fue significativo para nuestro proyecto porque relacionó la mitología griega con la importancia de los sentidos desde la antigüedad hasta nuestros tiempos con la importante presencia de las tecnologías.


Mosaico con escena Báquica. Narra el cuento entre Baco y Ariadna en la Isla de Naxos. Firmado por el taller que lo realizó: EX OFFICINA ANNIBONI (Finales del siglo IV DC).

Charo y Guadalupe (voluntarias del Museo) fueron las monitoras que impartieron el taller. Nos explicaron que Dioniso significa nacido dos veces, conocido también como Dios de las segundas oportunidades. Si cometemos un error nos indica que tenemos la oportunidad de cambiar.

Dioniso se cría en un paraíso lleno de flores y cuando cumple la edad de 15 años es nombrado Dios del Vino.

Dioniso es considerado también Dios del teatro. Nos explicaron que en la antigüedad a los actores se les llamaba máscaras y en sus representaciones salían con las máscaras para representar distintos personajes. Para comprender este concepto las monitoras realizaron una dinámica donde nuestros alumnos aprendieron que los "emojis" que utilizamos en la actualidad en nuestras comunicaciones son una evolución de las máscaras de la antigüedad. Para ello, los alumnos tuvieron que relacionar emoticonos romanos con los actuales.

La segunda actividad la hicieron en pequeños grupos. Se les entregó una cartulina que contenía ejemplos de conversaciones de WhatsApp. Los alumnos tenían que identificar cada uno de los diálogos con un "emoji máscara".

Uno de los grupos de alumnos se prepara el Role Play.

Cartulinas con los diálogos y soluciones dadas por los alumnos.

La tercera y última actividad se realizó en el aula y consistió en la reflexión grupal sobre la importancia de los sentidos a lo largo de la historia: ¿Son más importantes antes o ahora? La actividad comenzó en el museo con el cuento que nos contó Charo sobre Dioniso y los 5 sentidos.

Dioniso invita a los 5 sentidos a un banquete y uno de ellos, el oído, se sienta aparte porque sentía que todos tenían un papel muy importante en la celebración menos él. Baco se percató de ello y le otorgó un papel fundamental creando el brindis. Desde entonces no hay celebración sin el sentido del oído.

Algunas de las reflexiones grupales:

  • Cuando faltan algunos de los sentidos las tecnologías son una ayuda y apoyo importante.
  • Cuando no contamos con tecnologías tenemos que agudizar más los sentidos.
  • Las tecnologías nos pueden ayudar a resolver las dudas de objetos que veamos y no conozcamos.
  • Las tecnologías pueden hacer que nuestros sentidos se distraigan.
Claudia anota las reflexiones grupales.

Finalizadas las actividades hicimos un breve recorrido por el museo que os mostramos con estas fotografías.

E6 Peace Day Activities: Erasmus+, Poland and Peace

PEACE DAY ACTIVITIES

Peace Day, free image in Pixabay.
To celebrate the Day of Peace, we have decided to join Peace and Poland, as this is the city where we will have our next mobility.
This year was the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II and the liberation of the concentration camps. Bearing in mind that Poland was one of the countries most affected by this conflict, that Auschwitz was one of the most famous camps and that a person as important as Anne Frank was in it, we decided to work with all these elements to reflect with the children on all that was experienced.
We worked in a way that was adapted to each course in each class. At each class, a different level of detail was achieved, adapted to the needs and ages of the children. The activities are contained in the official blog of the project.

Next, we show some work evidences with photos and videos.

Our students made the flags of Poland and the other countries participating in our Erasmus Project. They were displayed in the joint school activity.

Students watching some of the videos we selected for the celebration of this educational event.
Alba and Carlota were very motivated by the topic and did some small research on World War II which they presented. These were presented to their classmates.
big poster about the past and future of Auschwitz was made by pupils of 6th A.

The whole centre commemorated a celebration they do in Warsaw. One day the city is silent and paralyzed, while the sirens are heard in homage to the victims of the war. Each class group represented a collective of workers.
SWEEPERS
NURSES
JOURNALISTS
BAKERS
The students read the following manifesto on behalf of Anne Frank.

During the minute's silence a tune by Frédéric Chopin was played, as he was a Polish musician.
At the end, all the members of the activity, teachers, students and parents, gave a big applause in memory of the victims.
These are pictures of our group as a united center on this important day.
