A VISIT TO CÁCERES

We had organised a visit to the Old Town of Cáceres with the 4th ESO Bilingual students. However, the high temperatures forced us to stay at school and do the activities in the library. We couldn't enjoy a real visit but we could learn about history and art and record our videos.

EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES

 

On September 26th, Norba came alive with colour, creativity, and a shared love for languages. To celebrate the European Day of Languages, students filled the school with colourful decorations and inspiring messages.

The halls and room doors were decorated with beautifully crafted posters inspired by this year’s motto: “Languages open hearts and minds.” Each creation reflected the students’ understanding that learning a language is more than memorizing words — it’s about connecting with others, embracing different cultures, and opening ourselves to new ways of thinking and feeling.

The celebration reminded everyone that languages truly have the power to build bridges and bring people together.
