Southern France







Between the 14th and the 17th of June, 3rd ESO students have been visiting the area known as Rousillon, in Southern France. They have visited many interesting places:
  • Carcassonne
  • Perpignan
  • Saint Jean Pla de Corts
  • Coulliure
  • Fou Canyons
  • Canet en Rousillon
  • Saint Michel de Cuxa
They have done many different activities, apart from visiting those places, as for example taking temperatures at different times and producing graphs, for example. They have also produced different leaflets in English, where they have included information about this area and interesting proposals of things to do or visit.

In this post we are showing you some of the productions.

Our penfriends

Tell me about your penpal


Here they are!! Showing the final productions!


Penpalling has been an activity which was highly followed in English speaking countries. Nowadays, though, with new technologies, it has been relegated to the past, given that we prefere writing e-mails or text messages instead of letters.

However, our school started a few months ago a new project where we will exchange letters with a school established in Turkey. It is the school Ülkem Koleji, in Manisa (Turkey). First, we got into the programme by Cambridge Penfriends and we waited for a school which matched us. So, in fact, they found us. When we received the letters from the Turkish students we read them, compared them, shared the information included with our friends and finally we wrote the letters to be sent back to the Turkish school. We are also going to display those letters so everybody in our school can see them. In this post, we are showing you some of the pictures we took that day. 

Unfortunately, our summer holidays are very near and maybe the project will be continued in September again.
How interesting!
