BBA virtual tour

Hello everyone at IPS!

As you know, we have our own building for the first time in the history of our school. It is white all over, some students and teachers like this, but others think it's too white. I really like it, because like on a painter's white canvas, you can make beautiful art on the white walls. In fact, students often make works of art on the walls of the school, and also the stairs, with the Head's permission, of course, and sometimes as part of the work they do in art subjects.

We'd like to share our virtual tour, I hope you enjoy it as you watch!

IPS Virtual Tour

Hello everyone!

Our virtual tour is ready!  1st intermediate students took the photos and recorded the descriptions for each space. Join us on a virtual visit around Instituto Politécnico!

Blogging from the NAC

Yesterday the 1st Intermadiate course had their first blogging session from the multimedia room of the newly installed NAC at Instituto Politécnico. This time, IPS students left comments for their blogging partners in La Plata. 

We look forward to our next visit to start working on a virtual tour of our school that will be shared on the project blog.

Special thanks to Pablo, the ICT coordinator, and Glenda, the English Lab teacher for their help!

Meet 2nd year BBA!

Hello IPS Class!








My name is María Cecilia Carattoli and I'm the teacher of 2nd year at Bachillerato de Bellas Artes, La Plata.

I have been a teacher at BBA for twenty-five years and I love working here because my students are all so talented and creative!

Our school is very interesting and special. Some teachers were students here and their children studied or are studying here, too. Very often, brothers and sisters of different ages are studying at BBA at the same time. And, sometimes I've called them by their elder brother or sister's name at the beginning of the school year because they were my students before! How many generations of students have passed since I started teaching here! And I have the same enthusiasm now for teaching I had when I started. I'm very happy to do the Project with my students.

I want to say a big thank you to your teacher Carla for inviting us to participate in your Project. We're so happy to share our class projects online together. I'm sure this will be a great opportunity for all of us to go on learning English through English.

There are twenty-five students in our class. We have English on Monday and Wednesday.

Now you know a little about me, please, meet my students!
