CELEBRATING BOOK DAY

My 3º ESO students and I have decorated a poster with long strips of colourful papers and original bookmarks. Some volunteers from other ESO goups have taken part in this activity with their bookmarks. 

Students were asked to write a sentence on the strip explaining what reading means to them. 

We would also like to thank ALBA RODRÍGUEZ MUÑOZ for her cooperation and enthusiasm in this activity.

The winner of the activity is Marina Gallardo Chamizo.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

ST. PATRICK'S CARDS

All we know that St. Patrick's Day is celebrated in Ireland. Here you can see some of the cards students have made to send to their Irish friends and also the one we got from them.

LOOKING FORWARD TO WATCHING YOUR TOWNS!!

Videoconferencing with Sutton Grammar School

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.

Wishing all our friends a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a prosperous and healthy 2016!!!

Students have been working so hard to wish all our friends in Ireland, Italy and the United States a MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016!!!

During this term, the students have done a good job for their Speaking exam. They were asked to prepare a PowerPoint presentation on Google Drive about themselves following the instructions given by the English teacher as a part of the exam. Here you can see two good examples of them.

  

                                   

CELEBRATING HALLOWEEN WITH MY NEW STUDENTS!!!!

On October 30, as is now traditional, the English Department organized a contest to celebrate Halloween. Students were asked to design a comic or a poster and carve a pumpkin.  I also encouraged my 3º ESO students to take part in a mini contenst  among themselves. 

Thanks to Des, our English assistant, the following prizes were given, as shown in the pictures below.
