Our Irish epals

These are our Irish epals. They are Ms Dawn McMaster's students.
We are carrying out the etwinning project: "Different is good!"

INCLUDE YOUR IRISH EPAL EMAILS AS A COMMENT: THE ONES YOU WRITE AND THE ONES YOU RECIEVE. This way:
"I am ________. This is the email I recieved from _________, my Irish epal"
"I am ________. This is the email I sent to my Irish epal _________"

Our German epals

These are the 12-year old students from Christian-von-Bomhart Schule. This is Gertraud's class. The picture was taken at the end of last year. They were taking part in the contest "The big challenge" and here they are showing their prizes. It's really good. The students can do lots of exercises on the Internet and usually in May there is the official competition on paper. Students all over Europe do it at the same time. It only cost about 3 Euros to register. The official website is http://www.thebigchallenge.com/

Gertraud and Inma have been working in two previous etwinning projects during the last two years. This year we are emailing and started a new etwinning called "Different is good!" about Maths and Celebrations. I am sure we are becoming very good friends.

Halloween Party!

We celebrated a Halloween party on the 31st October. The two groups of English in the plurilingual section (1º ESO A and B) joined together to hold a party.
The idea started when we had a class with our language assistants Shelby and Cory about Halloween. Once the students knew about this celebration in Anglosaxon countries and in Spain, Shelby suggested to prepare a party on the 31st of October.
Students dressed up in scary costumes, they prepared a lotto card with the vocabulary, cut and coloured Halloween pictures that we hung to decorate, brought an apple and labelled their costumes in English. One student gently carved a pumpkin to make a jack-o-lantern.
Shelby started with the VOCABULARY LOTTO picking up the words from a hollow pumpkin. Words could not be written. They had to make a big efford to understand Shelby's American accent. The first to get a full line got a lollipop or a chocolate coin. The first to get bingo, got two sweets.
Cory followed with THE HANGMAN. Our students showed that they had memorised their Halloween vocabulary very well. They guessed quite quickly. Many got sweets.
Finally, we played bobbing apples. They were smart to take them with their teeth. They got plenty of sweets and ate their apples.
We had a very good time!
