BOOK DAY. These are some of my favourite novels ever. What about you?

Good evening!
Happy Book Day!
Please feel free to leave some comments below!
So, then...
What´s your favourite book? That book you could read once and over again?
The book which means childhood to you?
To me they were, among many...
- "Hombrecitos" (Louise May Alcott)
- "Viaje al Centro de la Tierra" (Julio Verne)
- "Cuentos que mi madre nunca me contó" (Alfred Hitchcock)
- Toda la colección de Los Cinco (en especial el primero: "Los Cinco y el Tesoro de la Isla") de Enid Blyton...

We have already dealt with this nice topic of books in several lessons.
In 2ºB, we got the chance today to see an old book. It is so old that it does not even have a
copyright. We do not have a clue about the year it was published so our students in 2ºB and
in 4º are trying to find out that information (they will try and do some research in the internet).
It is a task I like doing with my kids every year since they realise books are more related to
personal experiences and  unveiled stories than to the mere fact of reading.

We learnt some questions such as:
1. When was it written or published?
2. Who was the author?

Some students in 4º have interviewed some other students at school and even some teachers.
We recorded their voices (as well as Carmen´s voice. She is our trainee teacher until May)
as they were chatting to some students in ESO and Bachillerato:

They´ve asked some questions, such as:

1. How often do you read?
2. What do you prefer? Books or films about books?
3. Why is it good to read books?





Some students in 4ºA and 4ºB have prepared some dialogues (Trainee Carmen´s project) that will
 be filmed by students in 1ºBachillerato.
Once we get the videos (thanks to teacher María), we will upload them in this blog.




JULES VERNE´S " VIAJE AL CENTRO DE LA TIERRA"

J.R.R TOLKIEN´S " THE LORD OF THE RINGS"

Mary Shelley´s "FRANKENSTEIN"


AND "ANNE OF GREEN GABLES" by Lucy Maud Montgomery.
I bought most of these novels in a second hand bookshop abroad. It´s a good way to get the "classics".

Good evening!
Here I submit two brief videos about how the scrapbook is going,
as well as some photos of the ideas we got this morning (after
carrying out our weekly brainstorming) and about how our weeks
develop themselves.

Control 2°B,3°B y 4°B (18 mayo); 4°A (21 mayo); 3°A (22 mayo)

Hola a todos.
De cara al control del 18 de mayo de 2°B,3°B y 4°B, de 4°A (21 de mayo) y 3°A (22 de mayo):
Como sé que se sienten muy realizados con la opción de "la hoja comodín", además del control que les prepararé, podrán demostrar lo que se han aprendido y la forma en que lo han hecho (vuestros trucos caseros, etc...) ese día.
Así tenemos el objetivo claro de cara a este mes de mayo en el que seguramente estaremos de comuniones algún fin de semana.Os resultará más fácil gestionar vuestro tiempo si ya conocéis la fecha clave del control.
Lo que tenemos que repasar en cada curso es:
2°B
Como hemos copiado esta mañana, los deberes hasta el 18 de mayo consisten en repasar los animales del tema 7 (hablados y escritos), junto con preguntas y respuestas generales sobre ellos (las que llevábamos de deberes para hoy sobre nuestro animal favorito).
También repasaremos I love/I like/I don't like...
Y el "So do I"/"Neither do I".
Por último, ubicaremos animales con las preposiciones que ya hemos aprendido durante el curso (next to/opposite/in front of.../behind/in/on/between).
3°A y 3°B
Para el control repasaremos un mínimo de 20 lugares de la ciudad (de los que se aprendieron para hoy), imprescindible saberse los que aparecen en el tema.
Además repasaremos lo que se debe hacer o no en cada sitio público (You must.../you mustn't...) y las instrucciones para entender una dirección (las copiamos la semana pasada en la libreta: Where's the...?
go straight on; turn left/right; take the first/second/third street on the left/right; turn around the corner; go over the bridge).
4°A y 4°B
Para el control repasaremos:
Los verbos en infinitivo y en pasado del tema 4 (repaso).
La salud.
Los ordinales desde 1st a 20th.
Los días de la semana,las asignaturas y los lugares que frecuentamos.
Un saludo.

What 's your favourite animal?

Good evening!
In 2° we are learning how to talk about animals, where they live, about their habits...
This is my mum's cat. My nephew found it when it was less than a month old. It was alone, in the street. So we decided to keep it.
I had my first cat when I was 11.
It was like Garfield and as naughty as it was!
My cat liked eating its cat food but it loved ham and crisps!
My mum's cat is a Siamese.
It is eight years old.
It likes cat food.
It loves jumping on the wardrobes!
It is naughty sometimes.
It hides under the bed and it loves sleeping on my mum's lap!
Here I show you some pics of it (
when it was just two months old and a pic I took some months ago).
Do you have a pet?
What's your favourite animal?
What does it eat?

A Scrapbook for Our Mate Overseas. Week 3

Welcome back to school after our amazing Easter holidays!

Yesterday we kept on working about our scrapbook.
We are organised in teams so that our job can become easier and more cooperative (since this is one of the main targets of this task).

We have already discussed about the events that we consider relevant as to be included in our two weeks report and we have already started preparing some material and decorations for our scrapbook.

We´ll keep you informed!

Have a nice evening!
