This blog has been created to share news, projects, videos and everything I may find interesting with my students. I will also upload their work and anything I consider useful for them to improve their English. Everybody is welcome.

SAFTAS-ERASMUS+ AS BARXAS A group of students from SAFTAS -ERASMUS + have been attending the theatre plays performed in Moaña (CIRCUÍTOS TEATRAIS) this month. Yesterday we went to the last play UBÚ REI by Talía Teatro and as they had done in the previous ones the team interviewed the actors. Very interesting play and amazing performance.
Last year I asked my 1st Bach students to prepare an oral project about a person who has done something relevant to humanity, who has managed to change the lives of others for better. People who surprinsingly may have been forgotten. I remember I gave them some examples. In that case I focused on women, as we know they are pretty often the forgotten ones. The outcome of that project had some lights and lots of shadows with students talking about singers, football players and even wrestling fighters.
This year I am planning to give you the same assignment and I am bringing here what could be a good example.
Sir Nicholas Winton who organised the rescue and passage to Britain of about 669 mostly Jewish Czechoslovakian children destined for the Nazi death camps before World War II in an operation known as the Czech Kindertransport. This video is the BBC Programme "That's Life" aired in 1988.
He met people he had saved from death when they were kids
during a BBC Programme
There is a biographical documentary as well. Have a look at the trailer.
One of the last activities the Erasmus+ group attended was the Cans Festival at the end of May. Being so busy with exams and the last academical tasks we had to leave the editing process for the summer. Believe it or not some students came at the end of June and a few days in July to have it ready and we are proud to show it to you. Thanks to Xián, Andrea, David, and the really hardworking Sabela, Susana, Nerea and Isabel.
Thank you to María too, the French teacher who was very kind to take the students to and from Cans.
My students in 1 Eso are doing their oral presentations about daily routine.
Here you can watch a video where Ana explains what se does everyday.
I hope you can get some inspiration and finish yours.
After a few weeks work in a very busy time for all of us, my students from 4 ESO C have managed to finish the video in time to enter the Shakespeare in London Competition. The prize for the winner? Four days in London for the whole class and tickets to see a play at Shakespeare's famous Globe Theatre.
They have chosen a scene from MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING and Isabel Cascante has rewritten it travelling to the future.
If you like it, you can vote for it. But not yet, you must wait until 17th May and then you will have two weeks to vote! Hope you enjoy it. We had a lot of fun!
Some of our students have visited " El salón del libro " today so they have missed our lesson.
Here you have one of the activities we did.
Amazing news: Flavia is getting married (wow!), Adrián is running a marathon, Laura is moving abroad, some feel bad... But all of them get positive responses from their classmates.
3º ESO BILINGUAL: A GUIDE FOR A SHORT WHILE Tomorrow we are going to Vigo to interview some of the passengers of Queen Victoria and to be their guides for a short while. Six groups of students from 3º ESO C (bilingual section) will offer to explain what the tourists can visit in Vigo, provide them with maps and useful tips to make the most of their day.
After that we will visit O Marco Museum. We will enjoy a guided tour of the temporary exhibition by Francisco Mantecón: "Passion and calculus".
In the early afternoon we will climb up to "O Castro" where some students will be the guides in the archeological site for the rest of the group.
