AND THE HALLOWEEN COMPETITIONS WINNERS ARE...

What a boo-tiful Halloween celebration! Our students have truly raised the spirits with their creativity, humour, and fang-tastic talent in this year’s Halloween Meme/GIF and Short Clip Competitions.

From hilarious memes that had us howling with laughter to short videos that were simply un-boo-lievable, the competition was full of spooky surprises and wickedly good ideas! 🧙‍♀️🦇

And now, the moment we’ve all been waiting for… 🥁

🏆 Congratulations to our spooktacular winners! 🏆

BEST MEME (and also one of the best GIFS): ADARA QUINTANA (1st Bach)

Why? Because we reckon we can totally relate to it, can't we? Such a beautiful building can become such a nightmare...

🧟 A Little Word of Warning from the Crypt…

AI can be a handy little helper, but it shouldn’t be the ghostwriter behind your entire creation! 👻 Some entries seemed to have relied a little too heavily on artificial intelligence. Remember, this competition celebrates YOUR creativity, YOUR humour, and YOUR ideas—not just what a clever computer can conjure up! 🪄

So, next time, don’t let AI steal your brains… (zombie style! 🧠). Use it wisely, add your own personal touch, and let your imagination do the haunting. 

Be original, be creative, and keep it real — that’s what makes your work fang-tastic! 🦇

Happy Halloween, everyone! 

Have a fang-tastic time! 🧛‍♂️🕷️

UNIT 1: MAKING MUSIC (4th ESO)

We are sure all students will like the topic of this unit: who doesn't like music? It brings so many positive things...

The WDYT? question is an interesting one: How can music bring people together? There are many answers and you will find out some while working with this unit. Let's see an example: in the following video you will see lots of famous artists who got together to sing the song "We Are the World"  written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Ritchie in 1985 to raise funds to help with the famine that was devastating Ethiopia at the time. 

To talk about music, we need to refresh some vocabulary. Here you have a matching activity to practise it:

Time to learn a new verbal tense: the PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS. Here you have some practice:

EXERCISE 1

EXERCISE 2

EXERCISE 3

EXERCISE 4

Need a break? Try this GAME, especially if you like pizza 😉!

Now, you should get back to work and make sure you know when to use the PRESENT PERFECT SIMPLE or the CONTINUOUS FORM. Need more practice?

PRESENT PERFECT SIMPLE AND CONTINUOUS

What about learning vocabulary related to FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS?

These FLASHCARDS will help you. 

Time to study something that may be new for many: QUESTION TAGS. Here you have some extra practice:

EXERCISE 1

EXERCISE 3

Tired? Try this memory game:

Questions are quite tricky in English, aren't they? Well, imagine including prepositions in them, it becomes a nightmare! Don't worry, here you have some extra practice;

EXERCISE 1

EXERCISE 2

EXERCISE 3

The writing of the unit is  A REVIEW (of a concert or music festival). If you need extra help, you can try this PRACTICE.

That was a lot of work, wasn't it? Let's finish with some music, the same way we started, to liven up,  things a bit 😉! Here you have a more recent version of the song we started this post with. This time the purpose was to help people in Haiti, who suffered a terrible earthquake in 2010.
