Our third-year students reveal their culinary skills

This week, apart from practising their English, our students have been able to show their cooking abilities: from crispy chicken to pizza, from Chinese dishes to Philippine ones, lovely, tasty, delicious cakes of all sorts... biscuits with chocolate chips in them... all in all, a pleasure for the senses!
Here are some photos of some of the students showing the video they recorded while giving their explanation on how to cook these dishes and some others that show the final result. 

Enjoy your meal!

An introduction!


Hello everyone!
A photo of the students of 3rESO with me, the English conversation assistant; Adnan Rawi. 
I studied English Literature in the University of Damascus, where I was born and raised. I moved to Barcelona in mid 2014, presented an art exhibition in Sitges 2015, joined the qualified staff of the English department at Institut Príncep de Girona in January 2016.

I appreciate art, philosophy and 
languages, and I'm very grateful for being a part of the respectful institution.

English Week day 5: Karaoke Concert with Connie Lynch!

"Without music, life would be a mistake."

The last day of our school's English Week was exceptional! We had an amazing time singing out loud accompanied by a great talent with an outstanding voice; Connie Lynch. 

Music connects and brings us closer, singing great songs is a splendid technique, one of the most efficient when it comes to building up the vocabulary data bank. 

A video of our students singing: 

"We will rock you - Queen"
"I feel good - James Brown"
"Imagine - John Lennon"

English Week: days 3 and 4

Yesterday and today was the time for story-telling sessions. We had two special guests for the occasion: Kirsten Tinkler, who told our younger students some horror stories about the city of London and who even used a disguise for the event; she also played the violin for the students as part of her performance! And Jamie Keddie, the famous author and public speaker, who told some stories from You Tube and got the 3rd and 4th year students really engaged with them! They were both excellent! Here are some photos of their performances:




While all this was taking place in the School Hall, the text book author Paul Kelly was quizzing the Batxillerat students: they had to answer questions from 5 different sections in small groups. There was even a small prize for the winners! All in all, these last two days have been a big success as well!

Scottish Dancing with David Vivanco!




David came all the way from Scotland to Barcelona to share the beauty of his culture with us during our school's English week!

We enjoyed the different types of sportive dancing, the mesmerizing sounds of the Scottish bagpipe, the magical musical spoons, and the delightful stories of the men who wear kilts!
