SCARY HALLOWEEN!!!

It´s time for vampires, witches, ghosts, skeletons, zombies and some other evil creatures... Scary!!! It is Halloween!!! The night of fear... Have you carved your pumpkins? Do you have your costume ready? What are you waiting for? Remember that, despite it´s an anglosaxon event, it has got celtic origins, so we can find it in Galicia under the name of Samaín.
Today we have had a spooky party at school where we played some funny Halloween games:

- Pass the Mummy
- Blowing the ghost
- The ghost race
- The eyeball dance
- Apple bobbing

It was great fun! And we even recited a magic spell to pass with flying colours!!! Don´t you believe me? Here is the evidence...

ENGLISH AROUND THE WORLD

Today we have been world travellers thanks to Ingrid Clancy, an Irish teacher who visited our school. We entered the English classroom like in an international land, holding our passports and passing through the Passport Control, where an officer put a stamp on them. Once inside, we interacted with Ingrid about 4 English speaking countries: the UK, Ireland, the USA and Canada. This way we learned about their capital cities, flags, symbols and other curiosities. Finally, we went through the Customs again to get another stamp. It was great fun!!!
Here is a memory of this special day. Thank you so much, Ingrid!!! You are always welcome.

SING-ALONG WITH ENGLISH

We have started this new school year with one of our talks by native speakers. In this ocassion, our visitor was Declan Mathews, a teacher from Dundalk (Ireland). He explained the benefits of singing songs to help us learn English. All we have to do is sing and sing ang sing, because this way we learn new words and expressions, we improve our pronountiation and intonation, and we enjoy.
What are you waiting for? Sing along!!!
Thank you so much for your visit, Declan!!!
