A new project with a new tool

You can go and see this new tool designed by Andrea Contino & Cristina Salanova, just click on the image. This has been an attempt to discover how it works and I think it has many possibilities.

Bee my Valentine!

Everybody can take part in St Valentine's contest. You can read the rules throughout the school walls.

If you want to know St Valentine's legend click on the picture and you'll see a video or read a text telling the history of St Valentine's Day.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
- Lao Tzu

A new tool: Prezi

I've just discovered a new tool that I find fascinating, I'm starting with it but I can imagine its possibilities, here is an example I've done in some minutes, it is something elemental...I have to practise more... but I'm sure you'll get wonderful presentations with it.

Dublin on Prezi

Post it with Wordle

Try to create your own poster with the Wordle tool by using your own words to express either your hopes, wishes, desires or intentions, purposes and aims.

Dublin! we are coming!

We are very happy because we are going to Dublin in April. We have created a wiki to organize the trip and all of us are participating giving our ideas and opinions to design the week we are going to spend in Ireland. This is our wiki.

After Halloween

As usual our Halloween celebration has been a success. As everybody knows it consists of a performance by 1º Bachillerato in our Library for our 1º ESO students.
Thank you all, 1º Bachillerato, for your effort on Halloween celebration. Although there were some problems your attitude and participation were fantastic and we, the teachers, really appreciate it. Thanks again

Happy Halloween

If you want more ideas to celebrate Halloweeen here you are a blog with a lot of them. You can play on this blog or visit other sites from it.

Halloween is coming

I want you to write a story with this tool, it is a story maker, it will help you a lot to build the terror story for Halloween

2º Bachillerato

Our first lesson deals with a Verb tenses Review. Verb tenses are tools that English speakers use to express time in their language. You may find this topic a bit difficult so that I recommend you this page with exercises to practise. It is simple, efficient and easy to handle.

Our new website

As everybody knows we have designed a new site for our English Department and we hope it will be useful both for our students and teachers. We are looking forward to you participation: it is OUR site and the more involved we get the better it will be.

Starting with Phonetics

Phonemic Chart
Your first material this year is the phonemic chart but you can practise more by clicking on the symbols of the widget on the right "Listen to the English sounds"
You can go to this site to practise more.
Or to this other on the left that offers flash activities.

Welcome back, dear students!

Here we are one more year, I want to give a warm welcome to all students. I'm sure this will be an enjoyable and successful one and I hope this blog will help you to get involved in your learning process and find it easy and funny.
Please leave your comments and suggestions so that I can improve it. Thank you in advance!

The course is about to finish and this is our last lesson. You can download it as usual and also practise the exercises on the right side bar.
