EX-PUPILS

How happy I am after receiving some comments from you, my dear ex-pupils! I´m glad to know that everything is going well in the secondary school. In the end, it is not so difficult as you believed, isn´t it? Yago told me that you are going to participate in a competition called "The big challenge". Good luck! You deserve to win.

Now have a look at this animation, please. It´s dedicated to you.
I miss you a lot!

ENGAGE ME!

Pupils from Robin Hood primary school, Birmingham, worked with a film crew from the National College for School Leadership to express their desire to use their favourite technologies for learning in school. All their words coincide. They say to their teachers: ENGAGE ME!!!

KIDS TODAY

And now a brief video about how kids, digital learners, living in the 21st century, are creating mass culture through the use of web 2.0 tools/social networking, etc. How can school be so far of their interests?

WHAT IS PEACE TO YOU?!

Have you ever wonder what Peace is? Everyone talks about Peace, but ... what is it like? What colour is it? How old is it? What size is it? Where is it? Can you buy it? How does it taste and smell? Can you describe it? Difficult work! Think about it. You can have a look at this video and get some ideas... Pay special attention to the comments of the kids that appear at the end.

Happy School Day of Non-Violence and Peace!

HI WINTER!

Hello Winter!

As every year, you are here at last! We can notice it everywhere: in the bare trees, in the grey sky, in the white snow, in the freezing days, ... It´s nice to stay at home these dark Sundays with a good book, a blanket covering your legs, a cup of hot chocolate and good company. But it´s even nicer to go and play in the snow. It´s great fun! Besides, there are many winter sports we can practice. Let´s have a look at this video to see some amazing activities.

Welcome Winter! We love you!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Yes!!! We are in 2012!!! I´m sure it´s going to be a great year, even better than the last one! Did you eat all the grapes? Eating grates at the sound of the bells is a Spanish tradition. But how do other contries around the world celebrate the new year coming? Here is a video with some examples. Enjoy it!
Happy New Year to you all!!!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

Wow! Times flies! Today is Christmas Day and in 7 more days a new year will begin. How are you going to celebrate it? A good way is watching a funny film, like this one by Mr. Bean.

Happy Christmas to all!!!
