LOOKING FOR THE NEW "SPIELBERG"!!

Most people like films and going to the movies but it is so hard to make a film! Or not??
Today with new technologies almost anyone can do something to become a film director. I tried myself and here is the result: my first movie called "Long time no see".
This is the international premier and I would like our students to do their own project. It is very simple, go to Dvolver moviemaker and follow the instruction. It is piece of cake. Then send us the link and we will upload here the best movies. Hurry up, the next Oscars ceremony is coming!!

OLD FRIENDS COMING HOME!!

It is good to see old friends now and then. Today we had a special visit to our school. Brittany Rios, our Language Assistant for the last two years, came to see us and say hi. Here she is with some bilingual students from ESO Year 3.

Take care Brittany!!

THE BILINGUAL FAMILY GETS BIGGER

Just today we heard that El Puntal Primary School in Bellavista will be bilingual starting next year with the 1st grade students. We have to remember that Tierno Galván Primary School in Corrales is already bilingual this year.
Both Primary Schools are in our catchment area and we hope we can see the results real soon.
WELCOME ON BOARD!!

FLASHMOB AT THE SCHOOL

Today we held a great Flash mob in our playground at recess time. One of our bilingual ESO Year 2 groups  surprised everybody when they performed all of a sudden. They were rehearsing for some time with their PE teacher Raúl and our Language Assistant Stephanie. Congratulations to everybody, it was a great performance and we all liked it a lot.

BOOKS EVERYWHERE

Here is a great stop motion video for those people who think books are (or should be) everywhere. It is a great piece of art...

WRITING BIOGRAPHIES

On certain occasions we are asked to write a biography on someone. It is very easy to type their name on Wikipedia, copy and paste the whole on it on a text editor programme and that's it!! However, here is a document that will show you some ideas to do something different and rather more original. We hope you find it useful!!

LET US GO TO THE MOVIES (IN ORIGINAL VERSION)

Finally, we have in Huelva a cinema that shows movies in original version. We are talking about the cinema multiplex in Holea Shopping Center. To encourage people the price will be reduced to 4 Euros.
This is good news for cinema lovers who prefer to watch movies in their original version and not dubbed. The first movie will be "Twelve years a slave", the winner of the last Oscars edition. Please, go and watch films so we can enjoy this option for a loooooooong time!!
