MY SUMMER HOLIDAYS IN WALES

Here I am enjoying my last days in Wales before going back to school again :))

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS

I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
Cause we are the champions - of the world( 3)
I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise -
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I aint gonna lose -

BILINGÜISMO: OFF WE GO !

Ya estamos en la línea de salida. El año que viene iniciamos nuestra andadura como centro bilingüe. Este curso, lo llaman Año 0 como si no contara, lo hemos dedicado a planificar, programar, organizar y coordinarnos los diferentes departamentos para que todo esté listo cuando suene el pistoletazo de salida en septiembre.

La planificación del trabajo del año ha estado dividida en tres frentes básicos:

1. Programación del curso

2. Formación del profesorado

3.Captación de alumnos/as.

Es con el tercer apartado con el que mas hemos disfrutado. Alumnos y alumnas de 6 de los dos colegios de la zona (Ricardo León y Antonio Machado) han participado en clases de conversación con nuestro lector, Ryan Gartner. Lo han pasado tan bien y han aprendido tanto que el último día le organizaron una fiesta sorpresa. Aquí os dejamos algunas fotos de esa despedida. Esperemos que su futuro en el IES Portada Alta sea tan exitosa como lo son sus intenciones.

Gracias Ryan en nombre de todos.

Have fun with English

THE SILENT E ( by Tom Lehrer)

Practice your spelling  and pronuntiation with this song that English students used to learn at school:

Who can turn a can into a cane?
 Who can turn a pan into a pane?
 It's not too hard to see
 It's Silent E
Who can turn a cub into a cube?
Who can turn a tub into a tube?
It's elementary
For Silent E
He took a pin and turned it into pine
He took a twin and turned him into twine
Who can turn a cap into a cape?
Who can turn a tap into a tape?
A little glob becomes a globe instantly
 If you just add Silent E
He turned a dam - Alikazam! - into a dame
But my friend Sam stayed just the same.
Who can turn a man into a mane?
Who can turn a van into a vane?
A little hug becomes huge instantly
Don't add W, don't add X, and don't add Y or Z,
Just add Silent E.

EUROPE DAY

On the 9th of May 1950, Robert Schuman presented his proposal on the creation of an organised Europe, indispensable to the maintenance of peaceful relations.

This proposal, known as the "Schuman declaration", is considered to be the beginning of the creation of what is now the European Union.

Today, the 9th of May has become a European symbol (Europe Day) which, along with the flag, the anthem, the motto and the single currency (the euro), identifies the political entity of the European Union.
