HALLOWEEN 2014

On October 31st the English Department organized an exhibition to celebrate Halloween. This time students were asked to bring whatever they wanted to make or design in order to take part in a contest.

Apart from this, I encouraged my 4º ESO students to participate by organizing a mini contenst  among themselves. Those who wanted to be part of it had to bring their projects on October 27th. There were 16 participants. Thanks to Alexandra, our English assistant, the secretaries, Ana and Fidela, and some other students, the best projects were  chosen. They are shown in the following pictures and video of the activity.

All the participants were given a Halloween bookmark and the best projects got some special presents.

THANKS FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION!!!!

Excellent news for us!!

On October 31st we got this gratifying news: We were awarded with  the European Quality label for our eTwinning project EUROPEAN CONNECTIONS BLOG (http://euroconn.blogspot.com.es). This encourages us to continue working on our current eTwinning project with great enthusiasm: EVERYDAY SITUATIONS.

                                                              

The day before I had attended a seminar on eTwinning projects in Mérida and I felt so proud of my students when suddenly I saw them on a presentation. One of the speakers, Lourdes Gozalo (SNA), mentioned our project as an example to follow.

GREAT WORK STUDENTS!!!

From Spain, we would also like to congratulate our Irish partners:

eTwinning national Quality Label!

WE GOT IT, STUDENTS!!

Congratulations to all of you and thanks you very much for your cooperation. Last school year my students and I registered on eTwinning portal and started a project called EUROPEAN CONNECTIONS BLOG. It was also carried out by the Irish teacher Ciara Rock. The project had a good balance of ICT use (Information and Communications technology) and classroom activities which fit into the school curriculum.

The participation in this project was not considered as an extra work, but a tool used to improve my teaching skills and help my students communicate in a foreign language and work with students from another country.
