PDI - GALICIANISE YOURSELF: "This is us"

“Galicianise yourself” or “Galeguízate”, this is the title of our PDI for this school year 2022-2023. The topic is related to the tangible and intangible cultural heritage. This refers to the legacy of physical artifacts and intangible attributes of a group or society that are inherited from past generations, maintained in the present and passed to future generations. Examples of tangible cultural heritage include traditional clothing, tools, buildings, artwork, monuments, and modes of transportation. On the other hand, intangible cultural heritage refers to things that are not physical items but exist intellectually, such as language, rituals, traditions, legends, music, dance, food…

In this first approach to the topic, we want first to introduce ourselves as Galicians. What does it mean to be a Galician? What are our roots? Under the title "THIS IS US", we want to transmit you our traits, our roots, our essence as Galicians. Are we peculiar?  Are we different from people of other communities or regions? Oh, we definitely are, but in a good way. We are "riquiños", "teimudos" and a bit "repunantes". What else? Keep on searching in this interactive image and you will find out soon. Are you ready for a "Galician experience"? There we go!!!

PODCAST: "4 in a year"

As you know, this school year we are developing a project in the English classroom about the 4 seasons. Under the title "4 in a year" we consider different aspects of this time of the year: weather, clothes, nature, animals, fruits, traditions...  We even declare our favourite activities one by one! 

Well, after a month of hard work, with a beautiful display about it and an oral test, we are more than experts on this topic, so we ended up recording a podcast in our school radio. And the results couldn´t be better!!! Congrats to all the students in 5A for their amazing performance. You are starts!!!

In the following terms, we will continue releasing more episodes of this podcast, this time with a different season and the other 2 groups in year 5. 

Now listen carefully and enjoy the autumn:

CULTURE: English through music

Music is a really useful tool to learn English. Songs are a great source of real life and you can use music to practise different language skills. And, most of all, songs are a fun way to learn English! How? Have you ever had a song stuck in your head all day? Me too! Listening or repeating the lyrics of your favourite songs (even humming them) will improve one or all of the following aspects: 

• Vocabulary: Repeating song lyrics is a  way of  fixing new words and phrases quickly. Think of it as regular word repetition in English classes but with background music.

• Grammar. Listening to English songs can help you master and use certain grammar patterns correctly in everyday conversation.

• Pronunciation and accent. Singing along with your favorite English songs also helps to reduce your accent and learn more about how to link words together when you speak, which greatly improves your pronunciation.

1.- Listen to Adrian once again and you will learn the names of some musical instruments. You can also watch this video:

CULTURE: The Beatles

Today we will have a special lesson: Adrián, our teacher student, will talk about a very popular British band: The Beatles. Are you ready?

The Beatles were one of the most successful and influential pop-music groups of the 1960s. They started in Liverpool, England in 1960. The members were John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Before The Beatles became popular, they played in clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg over three years between 1960 and 1963. Their first single was "Love Me Do", in late 1962. It was a hit and they became popular in the United Kingdom. As they became more popular, the press called the popularity "Beatlemania".  They finally broke up in 1970 because of the pressures of fame. Most people say they are the most successful and influential band in the history of popular music.
