Project 3º

By The Leprechaun in charge13:50INFORMACIÓN SOBRE CONTENIDOS, PicturesNo comments

Good afternoon.
Our kids are having a great time getting their shops, hospital, pet shop, restaurants ready...
The idea is that they become familiar with how to welcome costumers and communicate efficiently in those situations.
Here I post some pics that show their work this week.
They are having a great time (and so do I)
It is so nice to see how they are coping with their tasks!

What were you doing when...?

In 5° we are dealing with how to talk about past events.
We have also read about some events which made the world change,such as the Titanic sinking back in 1912 or the earthquake in Lisbon some centuries ago.
Here I post a picture I took two summers ago during my summer holidays in Cork.
The pic was taken in Cobh (the former Queenstown) in Ireland.
Cobh is well-known because it was the last calling port for the Titanic before she travelled the ocean and hit that iceberg which brought about such tragedy.
The sculptures are a homage to Annie Moore and her little brothers,who were the first immigrants registered in Ellis Island (where the Statue of Liberty stands) in New York,back to the end of 19th century and who departed Ireland from Cobh.

Un poco de listening para los padres

Good evening, dear parents.
I was just checking my emails when I got one with the following link:

Charles Dickens (Pinchad aqui)

It is a video about Charles Dickens. Some celebrities in the UK gathered in Highgate
Cemetery,where some of his relatives were buried.
I was lucky enough as to visit that cemetery, in Hampstead,
during my trip to London in August.
It is a place to visit. You know that cemeteries in Britain are worth it,
regardless of how
weird it may sound.
If you ever go to Hampstead, take a walk to the Spaniards Inn, an "inn"
that dates back
to circa 1585 and where the Romantic poet John Keats is believed to have
written his "Ode to a Nigthingale".
There is a long way up a slope from Hamsptead Underground (tube) Station
to Highgate Cemetery.
The Spaniards Inn is a great spot. Food is delicious, especially the mint sauce you can
have as a dressing...
