WILLKOMMEN AMIGOS

Estamos inmersos de lleno en nuestro intercambio escolar alemán. Os recordamos que un grupo de chicos y chicas de 1º Bachillerato fue a Gerabronn (Alemania) en noviembre de 2016 y ahora toca recibirlos. El grupo alemán formado por 15 chicos y chicas y acompañados por sus profesores de español Franzi y Max llegaron el jueves 25 por la noche y se quedan hasta el sábado 3 de junio.
Se trata de la tercera edición de este intercambio y entre otras actividades van a asistir a algunas clases en el centro, visitarán Huelva y los Lugares Colombinos, irán a Aracena y harán senderismo por Linares de la Sierra, harán una excursión a Sevilla, etc.
Esperamos que sean unos días estupendos para todos: alumnado, familias y profesorado.
WILLKOMMEN IN SPANIEN!!

English in Action from José Antonio Alcalde López

¡ADIÓS!

Tomorrow is my last day at this school and I´m really sad to be saying goodbye! I have had a fantastic 4 months here and have really enjoyed working with all of my different classes. Thank you for being so welcoming and for not making my life too stressful. It was my first proper teaching experience so I was a little bit nervous before starting as I didn´t know what to expect but I have enjoyed every minute – thank you all for being so much fun to work with.

I am very impressed with the level of English that many of you have and I just want to say a massive good luck to everybody for all the exams in the next few weeks. I hope everyone has a wonderful summer, enjoy a well-deserved rest after all the studying!

One final good luck to all the Bachillerato students that I have assisted this year. I have had the pleasure of talking to the majority of you one-on-one and I hope I wasn´t too scary in the job interviews! Good luck for the future and whatever you may get up to after leaving school, whether it involves going to University, starting a job, becoming a footballer or any other ambitions you may have.

I will definitely miss being in Spain and working in this school but unfortunately I have to return to the world of work and university back home… wish me luck!

Gracias por todo y ¡hasta luego!

Many companies offer stays with families, language courses, etc., to improve our level of English, to live abroad for a time, to meet other people, etc.
Today we want to introduce a special Summer Camp in the USA: Wyoming Seminary. Watch the video to know more about it:

BRITISH LITERATURE THROUGH THE AGES

To celebrate World Book Day which happened at the weekend (23rd April) the board now contains some information about 6 of the most famous British authors from the 16th century up until now. There are some quotes from the authors as well as information about their lives, books and also screen adaptations of their most famous novels. 

I chose these authors as they display a range of different genres; from Shakespeare's tragedies and comedies to the detective novels of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie; the spy novels written by Ian Fleming to the fantasy worlds of magic and mystical creatures of J.R.R. Tolkien and J.K. Rowling. These 6 authors have each contributed a large amount to both historic and modern day British literature and have also had a major impact on the global film industry. 

Here is the famous balcony scene from William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet". Due to it being a play written in the 16th century, the difference in the language is evident to hear as Shakespeare used Old English in his works. Even nowadays plays are performed using this older version of the English language.
