OUR ENGLISH WALL

Another school year has successfully completed. My 4º ESO A and B students have done a really good job and taken part in a great variety of activities throughout this year. Part of them can be seen on our classroom wall and on the amazing blog which has been created for our eTwinning project: 

EVERYDAY SITUATIONS

CONGRATULATIONS, STUDENTS!!!!!

It has truly been a real pleasure to work with all of you!

TOP STUDENTS (School year 2014-15)

Some awards in recognition of their hard work were given to the very best students who got the highest number of stickers throughout the school year. The ceremony held during the English lesson was very exciting because it was the first time some students got the same number of sctickers. 

    First position:  Elena Casado González 
                            Laura Iglesias Fernández

    Second position: Teresa Gómez Cidoncha

    Third position: Cristóbal Carrasco Díaz

                            Manuel Mª Gallego Sánchez
                            Francisco Gómez López

THE BIG CHALLENGE 2015

On June 5th a ceremony was held to give the diplomas and prizes to those students who participated in the contest. Once again the English Department gave a voucher of 20€ to the students who got the first position at each level.

This year our students did a great work and four of them got a very good position in Badajoz.

I would like to finish by thanking our 4º ESO "A" and "B" students for taking part in the contest another year more.

A SWEET FAREWELL TO ALEXANDRA BOROSTEAN

Yesterday we said goodbye to our language assistant, Alexandra, after two years with us. Short speeches were made to thank her for her significant support in some activities carried out in our eTwinning project.

I would also like to mention her excellent work and enthusiasm to help our students improve their English. Finally, I wish to thank her personally for being a great friend and because I have learnt so much from her.

   GOOD LUCK!!! 

I'll miss you!!!

DON BENITO TRAVEL GUIDE IN ENGLISH

As mentioned earlier in this blog, the 4º ESO Bilingual Section students and I are involved in an eTwinning project called Everyday Situations this school year:

I should like to point out one of the activities carried out thanks to our tremendous efforts, a fact of which we are extremely proud. We have worked closely with the Tourist Information office in Don Benito and translated its guide into English, which is going to be published shortly.

As well as being translators, students have been photographers. Lots of pics of different parts in our town have been taken as they can be seen in our digital travel guide version below. Once again:

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR EXCELLENT WORK, STUDENTS!!!

WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE!

Today, during the English lesson, the Bilingual Section students have been visited by someone very special for them, Erin Baskin. She worked as a language assistant here two years ago. She told us about her life in Madrid, the school where she works, her travels and her future plans.

Thanks very much for visiting us, Erin!

POTLUCK 2015

As usual in previous years, a POTLUCK was celebrated with a group of 32 students of 2º Bachillerato and six teachers on April 29th. On this special occasion, the decorations were related to Ireland and St. Patrick, as shown in the photos taken during the activity. 

Everybody was given a cute shamrock as a souvenir and enjoyed a superb lunch together.

THANKS TO ALL FOR TAKING PART -

IT WAS AGAIN A PLEASURE TO SHARE SUCH A LOVELY EVENT!!!!
