Hello everyone!
We are
students at IES Biel Martí. The high-school is in Ferreries, a small town in
the centre of Minorca (Balearic Islands), Spain. We are 13 and 14 years old and
some of us live in Ferreries and some others live in Es Mercadal (10 minutes’
ride by bus).
Our
high school is very beautiful. There are around 300 students aged 12-18. It is
not big, but it is nice. The high school was built in a T-shape. It has 2
floors and 2 playgrounds.
We
spend our breaks outside, playing or just chatting. In the bigger playground
there is a football pitch and a basketball court. In the other playground,
which is smaller, there is a table tennis and a volleyball pitch. We have two
breaks. The first one is 20 minutes and the second one is 15 minutes. Our
classes are 55 minutes.
In the
ground floor there is the reception, the teachers’ staff room, the teachers’
departments, the canteen, the library,
many classrooms, and a technology workshop.
On the
second floor there are many classrooms, an assembly hall, there are some
laboratories, the music and the art classroom.
Next
to the high-school there is a sports centre. It is big and quite new and we
share it with the primary school which is just beside us. There we do PE.
Although
the school is beautiful, it is a bit old-fashioned and it needs regular
maintenance. Yet, it is our school and we love it.
Our
course is working on a digital newspaper. Yes! We are journalists. If you want

Next week we are celebrating Sant Antoni!! On the 16th of January we are going to join students from different levels and do different activities and workshops together. Most of them are related to our folklore and culture but there are many others that are not. For example, zumba, pilates, yoga or scrapbooking. On the 17th we have a day off because Sant Antoni is the Patron Saint of Minorca.
Kind
regards from Minorca ;)
