SPEAKING ASISTANT - ELECTIONS

Mike, our speaking assistant, came to visit us once again last Friday. This time he showed us a video about a very influential British woman from last century, Emmeline Pankhurst, who defended the women´s right to vote and to have the same opportunities as men. After that, we pretended to have general elections in the classroom, with 2 different political parties defending opposite ideas: ice-cream vs cake, winter vs summer, mountain vs beach. Then we organised a debate where the representatives of each party exposed their ideas to promote their option. After that, we proceeded to vote and finally we did a live counting to see the results. 

Apart from having a great time, we learned many words related to elections: voting sheet, voting box, polling station, party, debate, campaign, ...

Thanks a lot again, Mike!!! We really appreciate your effort.

THE EASTER BUNNY AT SCHOOL

Yes! The Easter bunny visited our school last Friday, the 29th of March! And surprisingly, he looks like Mike, our speaking assisstant. In fact, he speaks like him and also enjoys teaching us some anglosaxon traditions such as the Easter ones. And additionally he loves making us work. This time we wrote an acrostic poem with a word related to spring time. And we made it!!! Don´t you believe me? Take a look at these pics anD videos...

Thank you so much once again, Mike!!! We really appreciate your effort. See you in April.

SPEAKING ASSISTANT

Yesterday we had the visit of an American boy, Michael Mazzeo who talked to us about his hometown, New York,  and about his family, hobbies, likes and dislikes. Later, we could introduce ourselves and interact with him, and everything in English! 
Michael is doing a volunteering job in our school as a speaking assistant, thanks to a special collaboration with the NGO Axuda en Acción. We really appreciate this kind of initiatives because this way we can be exposed to different native speakers with their particular accents, which will be highly benefitial for our speaking skills. In fact, we can see Michael once a month from now on until the end of the school year. Cool!!! 
Thanks a bunch to Michael and to Bea, the representative of Axuda en Acción in Galicia!!!
