LET'S PLAY THEATER IN THE PRIMARY SCHOOL


In order to motivate our future students in the primary school, we are doing our own "tour" among the primary schools in our city.











Our particular theater group comprises 15 students of the 2nd class of ESO, and we play different funny sketches in English. So we are having fun and learning English at the same time!









And all this would'nt be possible without our director and English teacher, Ester Boldú.
Thank you, Ester!!!

LANGUAGE TRIP 1st BATXILLERAT (4): OUR LAST DAY IN GALWAY


 In our last day in Galway, we learned some more things about this nice city, thanks to a guided historical tour through its most significant places: Eyre Square, Latin Quarter, Spanish Arch, the river Corib, and Salthill.








 We also discovered the simbology of the Claddagh Rings, and the story told around them.
 A statue of Oscar Wilde sitting in a bank in the Shop Street brought us to remember that Ireland is a country of poets and writers, like Samuel Beckett or James Joyce, among many others.










By visiting the river, the docks, and the Spanish Arch, we learned how important was the trade with Spanish and Italian ships for the Irish economy during de 14th and 15th century.




























 
 Finally, we realized that music is everywhere in Ireland, in every single corner.


The Irish: very cheerful and friendly people!

LANGUAGE TRIP 1st BATXILLERAT (3): THE CLIFFS OF MOHER

Today we visited the stunning Cliffs of Moher, where some famous films have been shot like Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince or Ryans Daughter.







Believe it or not, we were lucky to have some patches of sun, although the wind was blowing really hard.












We marvelled at the lovely Irish landscape, there and during the trip: cottages, sheep, pasture lands, castles, towers, the Atlantic coastline, the little harbours,...










The Cliffs stand 214 m above the sea level and stretch for 8 kilometres along the Atlantic. From there, we could see the Aran Islands and Galway Bay.

LANGUAGE TRIP 1st BATXILLERAT (2): LESSONS START IN GALWAY


Our English lessons started today in the Atlantic school in Galway at 9:30 am, although some students were a bit late, because they missed the bus! Eventually they arrived safe and sound!







We are already getting used to the Irish way of life: the lovely weather - rain, wind and cold -, the early eating times -dinner at 6 pm! - , the wild nightlife -bedtime at 10!
