Lights, Camera, Action!

      Estamos contando los días para nuestros óscars y ya se empieza a  notar...

     One of the most exciting activities in English in our school is the Short Film Festival: this year we will celebrate the fourth edition of our Oscars; so it is not strange to find students shooting some of the scenes of their coming-soon masterpieces.

     We will be watching their thrillers, horror or love stories on Friday june 16th,  when all the best movies will be shown and then awarded with the prizes for the following categories: acting, screenplay, technical aspects and best movie.

All Blacks!

 

    Este curso estamos estrujando al máximo la versatilidad de nuestro auxiliar de conversación: no sólo hemos disfrutado de la presentación sobre su país en todos los grupos (bilingües o no), al tratarse de un neozelandés, no podíamos pasar por alto una de sus insignias nacionales, el rugby.

     Mr Paco Santoyo and Mr George Harman have given some original lessons inspired on rugby, prime activity in New Zealand and quite an unknown sport for many of us. Our students were taught about some of its main rules and practized some games related to this sport. Finally they tried something similar to a match XDDDD.

A Selwo Adventure

      El martes 18 de Abril nuestros alumnos de los cuatro grupos de primero de E.S.O. vivieron una aventura en plena naturaleza, más bien podríamos describirla como una aventura en la jungla. Mediante la experiencia safari que se nos ofrece en el  parque presenciaron de cerca el día a día de animales más y menos comunes, jugaron con ellos, los alimentaron y, sobre todo, aprendieron muchísimo sobre ellos gracias a la ayuda de nuestros guías en una nueva actividad bilingüe.

     It must be great to go to school and spend the whole school day enjoying a savannah safari. That is what our 1ESO students did last Tuesday, they visited Selwo Adventure Park with their Science teachers Mr Luis Hernández and Mr Luis Resina and their bilingual music teacher Mr Javier Orellana, and our Kiwi English-language assistant, who had an awesome time like all the kids. 

     Once they met their English guides they learnt lots of things about hippos, zebras, lions, elephants... tripping to and fro by safari jeeps and having the chance to play with these exotic animals, to touch them (not the lions, of course) and even to feed them. It has been a great experience just a few minutes from school. Definitely a different way to have a sciences lesson
     
     ...and it has been something WILD!!!
