Geography

We know lots of things from countries around us: the language they speak, interesting places to visit, typical food, etc. 

On the other hand, we don't know many things about other farther countries. We have been investigating about far away contries, quite small some of them, but full of interesting things. We have written some presentations about these countries. In the classroom, we have shown our classmates about them, so we can learn different things.

Here you can see a prezi presentation and below you'll find some powerpoint presentations.

Reviews 

It's a good idea to read reviews about places we are going to visit. Later, we can decide if our experience is the same as the one some other people had before us. 

In this post we have many different descriptions of places (Port Aventura has has a great success). Most of them had been good experiences, maybe because we went with the right people, maybe because the place is worth it. 

We hope you can get some new ideas for your next holidays.

Population pyramids

Our country's population has changed a lot during the last 100 years, so we have decided to look for information and understand why those changes have taken place.

We have chosen a pyramid from the beginning of the 20th century, another one from mid century and the most recent one (2017-2019 approx). 

This task is included in a series of activities related to CLIL. CLIL stands for Content and Language Integrated Learning and refers to teaching subjects such as science, history and geography to students through a foreign language.

Autumn

Autumn

Nearly three weeks ago we started a new course. We have already finished our first lessons and we are preparing many different activities in our English classes. 

First ESO students have been revising contents they have already achieved in primary school; second year students have revised important grammar structures; third ESO have learnt new vocabulary, useful to describe people's personalities and modal verbs; 4th year students have also revised grammar structures such as present perfect and present perfect continuous.

Apart from doing listening comprehension and producing written texts, though, we have already applied to exchange letters and emails witha school in Rome (Italy) and we really hope they want to become our 'penfriends'. 

Needless to say, we are looking forward Halloween at the end of the month, so be patient and you'll soon see how we prepare this celebration.
