On 22nd September 2011, we were journalists for one day!!
It was a special day, because we had two special visitors from the UK:
CAROL BALL and JEFF MOORE.
It was a fantastic opportunity for all of us to practice English!!
The group-clases of 5ºA, 6ºA and 6ºB prepared the interview some days in advance, working on the following topics in small teams:
TEAM 1 - The UK.
TEAM 2 - The Government and the Royal Family
TEAM 3 - Food and Drink in the UK.
TEAM 4 - Traditions and celebrations: Easter, Christmas, Halloween, etc.
All students had to search information on internet and bring material to our class in order to work together on the topic and choose 4 questions from each team for the interview.
We will post pictures from the 3 sessions held on that day (see tabs).
THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

ResponderEliminarA LETTER FROM CAROL AND JEFF
ResponderEliminarHELLO EVERYBODY!!
We, Carol Ball and Jeff Moore had the privilege of attending C.P. Jacinto Benavente school to talk to students who were learning the English language.
There were three sessions of around 40 students, each with 4 teams who had prepared 4 questions, each student introducing themselves in English individually. They had also prepared A3 sheets/posters with all kinds of pictures and photographs of different aspects of English everyday life with questions related to pre-set topics. We were very impressed by the hard work and thought that had obviously gone into the preparation of the posters and questions.
All the students made us very welcome and were very polite. Some of the students approached us after the sessions to talk individually and ask us questions on different topics which we really appreciated. We were also thoroughly delighted when some of the students presented us with their signed posters before we left. Unfortunately we had to leave them behind as we felt they would be very beneficial to future English classes.
We were very impressed to think that they are dedicated to learning about the different countries and customs of the United Kingdom. The enthusiastic approach shown by the students was very endearing and encouraging and we would like to thanks all the students and tutors, especially Lourdes, for their hard work in making our visit very enjoyable and if possible we would like to visit again in future.
Thank you again,
Carol and Jeff.

When was Halloween celebrated for the 1st time?
The word itself, "Halloween", actually has its origins in the Catholic Church. It comes from a contracted corrupcion of All Hallows Eve. November 1, "All Hallows Day"( or "All Saints Day"), is a Catholic day of observance in honor of Saints. But, in the 5th century BC, in Celtic Ireland, summer officially ended on October 31. The holiday was called Samhain(sow-en), The Celtic New year.
