2025 HALLOWEN COMPETITIONS WINNERS

Last year's winning short clip suggested "Procrastination kills", but even if we have had lots of procrastinators, it has been really hard to decide on 2025 winners amongst so many high-quality, spooky, hair-raising memes, gifs and clips.

However, after giving it some thought, we can announce the winners this year:

BEST MEME/GIF: Adriana García (2nd Bachillerato)

Her meme shows how scary English vocabulary can be when it comes to pronunciation!

BEST SHORT CLIP: Jaime Alonso (1st ESO)

It is amazing how students (even the youngest ones!) master film-making, managing to create a horror story which will help students at IES Selgas to always remember their homework!

Here you have a group photo of most of the participants with the treats they got: 

There was also a surprise for the rest of the students in the courtyard...

Thank you so much for joining the competitions. See you next year!!

Have a terrific Halloween!!!

UNIT 1: AMAZING PEOPLE (3rd ESO)

This unit is focused on answering the question: who inspires you? All the activities will lead you to answer it in a special way, as you will see...

DESCRIBING PEOPLE

To talk about that inspiring person, you will need lots of adjectives. They will help you talk about that person's personal qualities.  Here you have a matching activity to practise the ones studied:
