Time to make space for something new.

Hi there, how is alll going?

This is a post of celebration because this blog is 10 years old. I am truly grateful for your support along these years, really grateful.

Moreover, this post is a farewell, so I am really happy and sad at the same time. 

Due to I am involved in a different project, I am going to shut down this blog.

The idea to close it down first started to pop in and out of my consciousness about two years ago, when I was enrolled in many eTwinning and school projects. But the blog was doing so well because it was averaging about many visitors a month and growing. I thought I would have to be crazy to even consider getting rid of it.

But, nowadays it is different. I do not want to be worried because I do not publish anything and that's the reason of my decision. Maybe it is not going to be an end for ever... Who knows...but now, it is time to make space for something new.

 

Thanks again to everyone for contributing, reading and supporting the blog so far!

Pumpkins time

Hi there, how are you? Hope you are doing well. Autumn is here and with it, we have to think activities around Halloween or "Castanyada" as we call this celebration. Because of that, here you have two amazing videos around pumpkins. Hope you like them. By the way, if you have more educational videos around school topics, you can share in the comments. Thanks!

Happy Teachers' Day!


The world Teachers' Day is an international day held every year on October 5th. It commemorates the signing of the UNESCO's status for teachers in 1966. If you want to make this day special for your favourite teacher,  send her or him a message in which you remind their lessons. By the way, here you have this lovely video for celebrating this day.

TRIBUTE TO QUINO

Yesterday was a sad day because Joaquín Salvador Lavado Tejón, known as "Quino", passed away at the age of 88. 

When I was a child, I read Quino's books almost every day! One of my famous comic strip was Mafalda, his most famous work. In fact, I love Quino's strips nowadays! After 56 years (the same Mafalda's age) I can say that Quino has been living and it will live inside my soul. 

This is my personal tribute to QUINO. 

By the way, if you did not have the opportunity to know who he was, here you have wikipedia information.

European Day of Languages

Hi there, this is the second week at school and children are happy to be in contact with friends and to celebrate their friendship! Hooray for them! 

Also, this week is important because it finishes celebrating the European Day of Languages on September 26th. Because of that, I have prepared this breakout about languages in Europe. They are in a trouble and they need your help. Do you want to help them? Try it. You can do it!!

Back to school

Children have greeted the return to school with joy and enthusiasm after a six month pause to in-class learning. Things are going to be absolutely different because teachers have reduced the ratio and maybe this is going to be very positive. 

Anyway, for starting these first days, I propose the Personal star. I like a lot this activity because it requires no preparation and students always enjoy a bit of gossip about their new mates and teachers. You have to draw a six-pointed star and on each point write six answers to questions about yourself (about me: August, 8, swimming, orange, Almeria, Tintin)

Then, tell students that the star contains information about you. After that, ask them to guess the information behind the words by asking questions. 

Once they guess your questions, put them in pairs and ask them to draw their personal star writing six words about their personal life. In pairs they can ask each other questions to find out about their partner.

When they have all finished, ask them as a group to tell the others what they have found out about their friend.

Summer holidays

Hi there! It's time to have a break. It has been a weird school year and I had to cope with different tasks from the ones we used to do at school. Personally I learnt a lot but I need to switch off from school routines and charge my batteries for a new School year! See you in September ;D

Listening while having fun!

By watching movies you are able to hear and understand spoken English. Hearing how certain words are pronounced will help you to remember and memorize the sounds. Because of that, you will find in this post two proposals: the short video below will introduce you to a segment of a popular movie, and give you an opportunity to learn new words, phrases, and expressions.

The other proposal is a little bit different. While watching, you will have to choose the correct answer. Thanks so much to 7ESL for sharing this great work!
