Wingsuit flights 4 ESO

I have flown like that many times, in my dreams. Not from such high mountains as the ones in the videos, just from the balcony on the third floor and I used to land not far from home. It was just to avoid the stairs, I guess. The view was not as spectacular as the ones in the videos but it was nice as I could easily  see the sea during my short flight. Well, it seems I might be able to do it for real soon. I just need some training...

Does it ring a bell?

Tonight we won't have bonfires around but I have already collected and prepared  my "St John's plants" so that I can wash my face in the morning. According to tradition it helps to keep the evil away. Not sure about that extent but it is really refreshing to wash your face with the perfume of the aromatic plants as soon as you get up. My mother-in-law says they used to even wash their hair with it. I am sure you have heard of it. Have you got yours ready and waiting for the morning dew?

Read about the tradition of the day in Ireland. Does it ring a bell?

June 23rd, is St. John’s Eve, or as it is known in many parts of Ireland, Bonfire Night.

The Breadwinner. 3 ESO. Reading club.

 Reading is a passion most of the students in the bilingual section share and I take advantage of it challenging them to read more complex books than the common abridged copies normally used in class. This year we have read The Breadwinner by Deborah Ellis. 

In February students started getting familiar with the background of the story, sharing their discoveries with the rest of the students in the group. Later they started reading and in April they answered questions about the plot, the characters, etc. first from chapter 1-5, then from 6-10. We left the last 5 chapters for a meeting that took place at the beginning of May. That day the students gave their opinions about different aspects of the book, what had impressed them the most and answered some questions while enjoying a cup of tea.

All the steps of the activity are in the video you can watch clicking on the photo.

I would like to thank again all the students who wanted to participate in the making of the video. I think you are GREAT!!!

ABAU TOMORROW. Everything's Gonna Be Alright

You have worked hard, and there is nothing to worry about once we got here.

Listen to my advice and Bob Marley's: Everything is gonna be alright. But in your essay...remember ( is going to, never the informal "gonna").

 GOOD LUCK!!!  Thinking of you!!!

PRONOUNCING "OUGH" IS TOUGH! 2 BAC. ABAU
