4th Thursday November Thanksgiving.
What do people do?
People across the country gather together to share a meal and reflect on all the things they’re grateful for. But there’s much more to do during this beautiful time of giving thanks than just eating. From parades to shopping, running to volunteering – Thanksgiving is celebrated in a wide variety of ways.
Let´s take a moment to share some fun facts about Thanksgiving.
· ·
By the way did you know that There are four towns in the United States named “Turkey.” They can be found in Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, and North Carolina.
Students share what they ‘re most thankful for and made some delicious Pilgrims hats.
A different approach to historical moments: A Escape Room
These are some of the advantages of escape rooms in classrooms
Students participating in a Thanksgiving Escape Room : learning about the TRADITION, THE FESTIVITY AND THE REAL history behind.
We are designing combination marks about the STEAM project in 3rd ESO.
The creative process is very interesting:
1- Creation of a visual map about the WATER PROJECT and STEAM
2- Drawing of different sketches.
3. Final work with colours.
4. Digital design of the logo.
Here you have some examples.
DAY 1
We woke up early at seven o´clock Then we went to school and there was a bus waiting fo us. We got on the bus and started our trip to Carboneras de Guadazaón in Cuenca. It took us two hours and a half to get there. We felt nervous and excited about the experience . Carboneras de Guadazaón is a very small and isolated village but when we arrived there it became a more lively one. When we arrived, we had a snack a banana. Then we got together and the Criec teachers explained us the rules of the school.
There were going to be three different groups: Italy, Luxembourg and Belgium and in each group there were students from the three different high schools. We were going to compete . After that, we played a game so we could meet everyone.
There were two other schools, one from El Bonillo and the other from Motilla del Palancar.
Later we had a quick shower and we prepared the presentations of our school, IES Juanelo Turriano with our teachers, Javier and Meritxell.
Time to share our presentations and getting to know the other two schools.
It was a long day and at 11:15 we went to bed.

DAY 2
We woke up at 8 o´clock. We got dressed, made our beds and tidied up our rooms.Surprise!!!! We got shocked because the monitors went around our bedrooms and rated them ( 1 to 10). Then we had tomato on toasts and chocolate milk for breakfast. Yummy!!.
After that we participated in different workshops: a Escape Room, ( The Treaty of Rome) a Geocaching workshop in the forest and a workshop on Cyberbullying. This day we had three breaktimes, the first one at 11:00, and the second one at 14.00 , then we watched a short video on personal core values and we had lunch.
The third breaktime was at 17.45. Later we played different board games. We had dinner and we enjoyed a cinema night before going to bed.

DAY 3
The music started at 8.15 as usual they stared with classical music, then pop music and then… rock!!! We got dressed and made our beds. We had chocolate milk and muffins for breakfast.
Time for our first workshop, Micro-Bits. We learnt about the basic coding and some program skills. The second workshop started at 12.30 , it was about European Culture and… guess what, my team won!!!!.
For lunch we had “fabada” and that day we had chicken and artichoques for dinner.
In the afternoon we participated in another workshop STEAM. We did challenging games. Some of them were very difficult.
Fátima and Mira
DAY 4
The same routine as the previous days
Our first workshop was the Scavenger Hunt. This morning we went into town, the instructors gave us a mobile phone and we had to find some clues : monuments, signs, drawings … In the end we went to the highest point of the town and we enjoyed really nice views from there.
Our second workhop: Clue (Cluedo), a murder mistery game. In the Clue they gave us a puzzle, when we solved it, they gave us some key information and a map, we went around the school and looked for the suspects.
We collected clues about the circumstances of the murder and when we had finished we went to the teacher and he gave us another puzzle. to solve before he gave us a new clue.
It was fun and exciting.
Marco and Diego Gabriel
DAY 5
The music started at 8:15
At that moment all of us were nervous, because it was our last day. We made our beds and then we dressed up.
After that, we went downstairs, we had breakfast and brushed our teeth. Later, we tidied up our things, packed and went downstairs. It was time to know who the murderer was in the Cluedo and also time to know which group was the winner.
And the winner was… Luxembourg !!!!
Time to say goodbye. We said goodbye to our friends and got on the bus. We headed to Toledo.
We were feeling a bit excited and sad. The CRIEC experience had been an incredible experience.
