Informal letters

3rd ESO students have written informal letters to friends. 

The task was: Write an informal letter to a friend. He/She has already written to you telling you he/she has failed some exams. You have to cheer him/her up. Remember to:
- Say thank you for the letter 
- Sympathise with what has happened
- Make some suggestions to cheer him/her up 
- Tell him/her some news on your own 
- Include some extreme adjectives 
- Use informal language and contractions 

 Here you can see some of the letters.

Reviews

Whenever we go to the cinema, to the theatre, to a concert... we have an opinion about what we have experienced and seen or heard. In this post, 2nd ESO students have written about different artistic expressions and they expose what they think about them. Do you share our opinions? Feel free to leave a comment.

Classical music

Since school started we have been talking about music. In this post you will find a list of composers. You have to choose one of them and do a little research about them. After that, you have to do a project about what you have found, answering these questions:

1. Composer’s date of birth 

2. During what period of music did this composer write?

3. What instrument(s) did the composer play?

4. How did the composer learn to play their instrument?

5. Name 5 important pieces of music the composer wrote

6. Write a paragraph about one of the five pieces listed above.

7. What other things were going on in history during this composer's lifetime? 

8. When did this composer die? 

9. How did he die? 

List the resources you used to find your information. 

Summer camps

Ready to go back to school? Summer is over, dear friends. We hope you have enjoyed your free time doing whatever you like doing most.

In this post we want to remember some of the activities that we can do during our summer holidays. Maybe you have also done some of them.

These projects were done by 1st ESO students, who are starting their second year tomorrow. Good luck to everyone!

Ancient Egypt

1st ESO students are also learning History in English. They have been working with computers and have done some projects about Tutankhamun, who was an important Pharaoh in Ancient Egypt. As a result, they have learnt many curious things about this king, his treasure, his curse... Tutankhamun was born 'Tutankhaten' during the Amarna period, probably at the capital, Akhetaten (Tell el-Amarna). The identity of his parents is disputed but they were perhaps Akhenaten and his lesser wife Kiya; the boy was a royal prince and ascended the throne at the age of about eight years. Tutankhamun married Ankhesenpaaten, daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti. Recently, Tutankhamun mask has been in the news because some workers accidentally broke it and used glue to restore the broken parts. You can read more here. 1st ESO students have been studying about the first river civilisations and they have produced some interesting pieces of work, using different techniques: powerpoint presentations, word documents, prezi presentations... We are sure you will like them.

Hi everyone!

After a long time (ages!!) we're back again and will try to publish posts regularly from now on.

Today, we have chosen a short video. Listen to the words carefully and decide if the song really says what the subtitles say. How do we name those words which sound alike but in fact are written and have different meanings? Feel free to leave your comments below.
