Samhain (eTwinning project: Getting to Know our Celebrations)

During the first term, 2ºESO students worked on our eTwinning project: Getting to Know our Celebrations. They decided to make a video about Samhain. This is the result, hope you all enjoy it!

eTwinning project: Getting to Know our Celebrations

This school year, we have made a new eTwinning project with our Italian partner school: Istituto Comprensivo "F. Mochi". Throughout the course, we will learn from typical celebrations of our friends from Italy and we will also share ours. The project is still open for other schools to join us!

This is the project info on the eTwinning page:
Discover what other students celebrate all around Europe. Create presentations, show videos, use your imagination! This project is aimed at students aged 12-16. They will create their own material and exchange it through twinspace. We can also arrange videoconferences so that the students get to know each other.

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year!!

Practising prepositions and... our drawing skills :P

One of the things 1ESO students have learnt and practised this term is prepositions. We made some drawings and are very proud of them. 😊

Class rules and how to improve our English

On our first days, we talked about class rules, how to improve our English and, of course, how to pass the subject. Here are some of the most popular ideas. Can you think of any other?

Welcome to the New School Year 2016/17!

Penpals from Italy and Germany

¡L@s alumn@s de 6º Primaria, 1º y 2º de ESO han recibido cartas desde Italia y Alemania!
Durante este trimestre nos estaremos escribiendo con otros alumnos en inglés para conocer chicos y chicas de otras partes de Europa, saber cuáles son sus hábitos y ... practicar un poco de reading & writing.

Nuestr@s amig@s italian@s nos escriben desde Ponticino y Laterina, dos poblaciones de la Toscana (a unos 50 km de Florencia).

Las cartas alemanas nos llegan desde Braunschweig, en la Baja Sajonia, cerca de Hannover.

Este proyecto se ha llevado a cabo a través de la red de colegios europeos eTwinning.
Esta actividad pretende mejorar las habilidades del alumnado en cuanto a la lectura y la escritura en lengua inglesa. También busca fomentar el conocimiento de la vida adolescente en otros países europeos, así como facilitar el desarrollo de una actitud abierta y de respeto cara otras culturas o modos de vida.

Schoolhouse Spelling Bee Contest

El pasado viernes, 4 de marzo nuestro centro participó por primera vez en el concurso interescolar de deletreo en inglés Schoolhouse Spelling Bee.
¡Enhorabuena a los finalistas y muchas gracias por vuestras ganas y el apoyo de l@s compañer@s!
Podéis ver fotos del evento aquí e incluso visualizar el concurso.

Clase cultural en inglés

O día 15 de decembro tivemos unha clase cultural en inglés co alumnado da ESO. Recibimos a visita do profesor Luke, natural de Liverpool, que nos ofreceu unha sesión adaptada para 1º e 2º de ESO por unha banda e para 3º e 4º pola outra.

Os rapaces e rapazas do noso centro aprenderon cousas interesantes sobre diversos países de fala inglesa e a súa cultura, coma por exemplo que Barack Obama, o presidente dos Estados Unidos, é de Hawai; que en Australia ás barbacoas chámaselles barbies e aos canguros pequenos joeys; ou que o inglés é a lingua oficial de Barbados, India ou Xamaica entre outros países.

Durante as sesións o alumano interactuou co profesor por medio de diversas actividades e xogos que se realizaron na aula. Algúns incluso levaron un agasallo por contestar ben ás preguntas que se lles facían.

O obxectivo desta actividade foi aproximar aos estudantes á lingua inglesa dunha maneira lúdica, á vez que se lles proporcionaron aspectos culturais e curiosos sobre os lugares nos que se fala.
