It's Halloween

      El día previo a la noche de Halloween volvió a ser terrorífico en nuestro centro: relatos, calabazas, chuches, disfraces, desayunos... TERRORÍFICAMENTE DIVERTIDO.



     Some people are for and some against the American influence on this holiday: we are not taking part in the debate but what we think is that it is an appealing issue of their culture for our kids and an excellent excuse for parallel educational activities.

     The Jack O'Lantern pumpkins, the ghostly make-up and masks, the spider-like cupcakes... loads of stuff to make this day really scary. The best pumpkins were awarded with candy and a special prize (Edgard A. Poe's stories) as the best short story writers were too. Some twitter tales were elected as the most frightening ones and their authors got also their sweets and their Poe 's books, the winner this year was Angelina V. Parson's (3ºC), (S P O O K Y !!!)

Welcome, friends!




     Como cada año, nuestros auxiliares de conversación extranjeros tuvieron una bienvenida a nuestro centro más oficial con la participación del departamento de biblioteca.


     From 1st October, Nicole Plaksen and Marcus Cormier have been working with us, letting our students learn diverse aspects of their culture. They are here not just to help them in their learning of the English language but also to illustrate with their own experience how life in North America is like. 

     They are two young students in their twenties who are interested in education and in our culture. Nickee comes from Philadelphia and loves music and travelling and  Marcus comes from Lousiana and he is really funny, he has millions of friends and hilarious stories.

     They have introduced themselves in every class by a presentation about their cities, their likes, their schools... and some other issues as for example the money used in the States or food in Southern states.

     Our school, with the support of Olivia Cózar and the Library Board, welcomed them by giving them an abridged version of one of our literature classics.
