Charleston Talks

Hace dos semanas comenzamos las sesiones de Skype entre varios alumnos de 6° y 1°ESO y los estudiantes de español del Señor C.,de Charleston D.S.,el centro donde estudian habitualmente dos de nuestros alumnos estadounidenses.
Durante ambas sesiones, los chicos de nuestro colegio y de Charleston intercambiaron preguntas y se presentaron en Inglés y Español.
Continuaremos colaborando con el Departamento de Español de Charleston D.S. en diversas tareas a lo largo del curso.

It is such an honour for our school to post a few pictures taken during our first Skype videocalls between Charleston D.S and ours!
Both the students in 6°and 1°ESO took part in them in consecutive days.Mr C.'s students asked several questions to our kids as well as ours introduced themselves, both English and Spanish.
We will carry out more tasks together since we feel honoured to have had the chance to welcome a whole family for the school year among us.

Peace Day

We are dealing with songs about peace this week...today it could only be this one by Black (Colin Vearncombe)...
This is the song that made me think about how wonderful life can be (when I was 9 years old and I could listen to it at home so many times!)
Farewell to a great musician.Here is the lyrics:

"Wonderful Life"

Here I go out to sea again
The sunshine fills my hair
And dreams hang in the air
Gulls in the sky and in my blue eyes
You know it feels unfair
There's magic everywhere

[CHORUS:]
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful wonderful life

The sun's in your eyes
The heat is in your hair
They seem to hate you because you're there
And I need a friend
Oh I need a friend to make me happy
Not stand here on my own

[CHORUS]

I need a friend
Oh I need a friend
To make me happy
Not so alone

Buenos días.

Ya que estamos tratando la Unidad 3 sobre las direcciones e indicaciones

en Inglés, hemos realizado un trabajo sobre varios lugares que nos transmiten paz.

Nos encantaría compartirlos con vosotros, especialmente con el colegio de Charleston con el que nos comunicamos en varias clases.

Esperemos que os guste.
Aqui hay un video que nos explica cómo llegar a un lugar de paz:(Pinchad el enlace)

We hope you like it.

She

It's several years of watching her sitting at the front row during the lessons.
She always wanted to take part,to read even before having a clue whether the reading would be an easy one or not.
I stick to her voice.It was then Alex and Dani got so brave as to try and read the 'rat' role in that reading that started with that of 'Wanda the Witch is at home...'
And then one day she gave me something as a souvenir of the day she took her Communion.I still keep it as a bookmark.
And in 1°ESO,she gave that speech about the different kinds of flamenco dance...
And that day I entered the classroom and she was crying since she had already finished reading a novel whose ending was not as happy as she expected.
You will never get used to this.
It's the second time I will say bye to a student and now the hours we spent in the same class come running wildly from the back of my mind.
When you teach,you see your kids grow up and you know they will stick in your memory as the kids they were. We talked about our shared origins in the sense her parents come from the same place as me.I remember her as someone who craved for reading.
I once wrote her name in my 'school records' book and then it was like that year after year...her name and her surnames.
I just looked for that piece of cardboard with her name and the date of her Communion in it and I read it once and over again.She got stuck in our memories as a little child then and in our memory she will still be like then
