HALLOWEEN 2018

We all know about Halloween thanks to TV shows, films, etc. This year it is special at our school because our Language Assistant, Jiselle, comes from the USA where Hallowenn is a huge thing.

It is interesting to notice that in Spain we overconcentrate on the spooky and erie aspect of this festivity.

Here are some links and videos for you to know more about this festivity.

HARRY POTTER IS BACK!

Our ESO Year 3 student Miriam L.A. has prepared a beautiful bulletin board on the amazing world of Harry Potter.

She is a great fan of this character and has read all the books and watched all the movies. We can say she is truly an "expert". Here is a picture with the result.

If you also like the story of this famous boy go to Pottermore, where the writer J.K. Rowling has a lot of interesting stuff about her books.

Besides, here is a short video from the different movies including the best magic spells.

For those lucky ones who can go to Madrid, there will be an exhibition starting on November 18th and running for 10 weeks.

CURSO INMERSIÓN LINGÜÍSTICA 2º ESO

Aunque aún no han salido los listados de centros seleccionados oficialmente, ya sabemos que nos hemos quedado en lista de espera. Sabíamos que era difícil porque solamente se ofrecían 6 plazas para toda Andalucía.
Seguiremos intentándolo en el futuro.
Gracias a todos los participantes.

PEOPLE WE LOOK UP TO

We all have idols we look up to. They can be celebrities or just ordinary people around us (family members, friends, etc.) They are role models for us, they inspire us, we want to be like them, we love their achievements...

It is impossible to have a comprehensive list of the most influential people worldwide because we cannot always agree.

For example, here is a short video with the 10 Inspiring People from the 20th Century. Do you agree??

HOW PEOPLE GREET AROUND THE WORLD

We tend to think that what we do is the norm and the rest is strange. This blog wants to show you that there are MANY different ways to do and see things around the world.
Today we want to share this video about different ways to greet people around the world. Some people kiss, some people shake hands, some people hug, some people bow...
What do you do?

INTERCAMBIO CON ALEMANIA

Ya estamos preparando nuestra 4ª Edición del Intercambio Escolar con Gerabronn (Alemania). La semana pasada nos reunimos con las familias interesadas y hoy se ha procedido a la asignación de las 15 plazas que ofrecemos. Por tanto, ya tenemos a los 15 afortunados de 1º Bachillerato así como una lista de espera en caso de renuncias.

El Intercambio se realizará entre el 15 y el 22 de marzo de 2018 y el grupo alemán nos visitará a mediados de mayo.  Ahora mismo, nos urge comprar los billetes lo antes posible para conseguir mejores precios.

Aquí dejamos un video turístico con los lugares más interesantes de este país (algunos de los cuales visitaremos durante nuestra estancia).

TALK TO JISELLE

For the second year we offer our students an English Speaking Club every Tuesday at break time (11:30-12:00). Jiselle will be in a classroom to talk to them about different topics like music, films, traveling, American festivals and traditions, TV shows, food, etc. Also students can propose different topics they want to talk about.

We think this activity is more suitable for ESO Year 3 and 4 and Bachillerato students but anybody is welcome to participate.

We would like to thank Jiselle because this is extra time she is at school apart from her official schedule.

INTRODUCING CALIFORNIA

Our language assistant Jiselle has displayed some interesting facts and information about her state, California, on our bulletin board. Also here are some useful links for those who want to know more about this famous state:

• Visit California
• Visit the USA (California)

Finally, here is a Video with 100 things to do in California.

CURSO DE INMERSION LINGUISTICA OTOÑO 2017 – 2º ESO

Acabado el plazo de entrega de solicitudes, se han recibido 43 y cada centro solo puede proponer a 25 alumnos/as como máximo. Por tanto, se ha seleccionado al alumnado con mejores notas en inglés en 1º ESO. Posteriormente, en los casos de empate de nota se ha procedido a ordenar alfabéticamente a los interesados y realizar la asignación de plaza según el número de desempate establecido por la Junta de Andalucía para este año (0,9639).

El listado de seleccionados y suplentes está expuesto en la cristalera del IES para su consulta.

Una vez formado el grupo, procedemos a solicitar  nuestra participación y en caso de ser seleccionados (solo 6 centros serán elegidos en Andalucía), contactaremos con las familias para preparar la actividad (fechas asignadas, medio de transporte, etc.)

Gracias a todos por participar.

HERE IS JISELLE

Today was Jiselle's first day at our school. We are very glad she is with us this school year and we hope she enjoys this experience. Here is a picture of Jiselle with her welcome poster.

In the following days she will be presenting herself to the different groups she is going to work with. We also asked her to display a bulletin board about California.

On Thursday is the Orientation Meeting for all language assistants in Huelva.
