UNIT 3 - AT THE SCHOOL CANTEEN: Grammar test

 Today is the day... 

No worries! Just focus on the tasks and ask if you have doubts.

Don´t stress! Do your best and forget the rest!!! 

OUR ENGLISH MAG

The second edition of  "OUR ENGLISH MAG" is in your eyes and ears at last. A group of 18 journalists and reporters in year 5 at Emilia Pardo Bazán School have created an exclusive article each for this magazine, all of them are related to THE SEA, which is the topic of our school PDI this year.  Therefore this is a special edition. Under the title "A BLUE DAY", we invite you to spend a day (or more) enjoying the benefits of the BLUE and to discover the different types of sea: a sea of calm, of hope, of wonder, of surprise, of fun, of flavour, of colours... but also of mystery, of confussion, of fear, of war...Are you ready for a "blue experience"?

Remember that this incredible magazine is fully in English and that you can both read it and listen to it. Yes! Every article comes with an audio recorded by the author! You only have to click on the image of the loudspeaker that appears on every page to hear it. 

Very many thanks to all the collaborators who, voluntarily, have made this dream come true once again. This activity is part of the English class, as a way to improve our skills in this language.

THANK YOU!!!   YOU ARE A GREAT TEAM!!!

RADIO PROGRAMME: The Book Nook 3

Here is the new episode of The Book Nook, our favourite radio programme, made for and by YOU. It is the third edition and it comes full of  your invaluable collaborations, opinions and comments. You can´t miss it!  It is a great chance for us to get closed to the world of the radio, as well as a fantastic tool to improve our speaking skills in a foreign language. As usual, the programme is divided in 5 different sections, all of them related to books:

1. Speak out: a survey section to know your reading preferences, in this ocassion: "What do you prefer: books or films?". Difficult choice!

2. Our Book Clubs: a section to follow what we have been reading in our book clubs and with some recommendations for the summer.

3. Meet an author: dedicated to a contemporary English writer:  Roald Dahl.

4. Dive in the deep blue sea: a section related to the PDI, the project we are working on this school year. In this third programme, we recommend you to have a BLUE DAY.

5. Our Natives count: a section to meet one of the English speakers of our school community: Declan Mathews, our favourite Irish man.

In this old radio, you can click directly on a specific section. Or, if you prefer, you can also listen to the full programme.

And it is time to say goodbye. This is the last programme of this school year, but we will be back next September with new ideas. Send us your suggestions. You can be a member of the radio team!!!

Congrats to you all!!! You made it!!!
