Taking advantage of the contest organized by the Departamento de Actividades Complementarias y Extraescolares at school, a mini Christmas Card Contest was arranged only for my students and this was the result:
This year our student Marina Suárez Blázquez is having a great experience in Fairborn, Ohio in the United States. When she was in 3ºESO last year, she decided to spend a school year in USA, studying 4ºESO. Two weeks ago, she made a tremendous effort to get up at 3:30am and talk a little bit with us via videoconferencing. From here, we wish you the very best for such a wonderful experience you are living in Fairborn, Ohio. We all miss you a lot and thank you so much for being with us.
This year Halloween was celebrated on October 28 at school. As usual, lots of students took part in the activities and decorations organized by the English Department. Once again, my 4ºESO students decided to participate and one of the group got the prize for the best stand.
Don't miss our Halloween story:
We are sharing a project with James MacCann, our English assistant's brother from California. My students were asked to make bookmarks and posters on Halloween and all of them were sent to California. The students there will select the contest winners.

We should like to thank to the Mayor of Perris for all the souvernirs from his city.

TIME FLIES!!!! Another school year has ended and once more I feel a little bit sad in saying farewell to my 2ºBCTB students. From my blog, I would like to add that it has been really a great pleasure to work with them and I would also like to wish all of them every success in this new stage in their lives.
PLEASE DO NOT FORGET THESE WORDS AND MY LOVELY PURPLE ELEPHANT!

The winner of the activity is Marina Gallardo Chamizo.

Last year I was awarded a fellowship by the Ministry of Education to spend two weeks at Sutton Grammar School.It was one of the most incredible experiences I have ever had as a teacher. Now, from this blog, I would like to thank Mrs Christiane Hall, my tutor, and all the teachers and staff in this school for giving me this great opportunity.
As a result of this experience, this year my 14-year-old students have made contacts with my tutor's students through letters and videoconferencing. In the video below you can see how much students enjoy this activity.
