"I LANGUAGES DAY" AT IES SELGAS

Here you can watch a few videos about some of the activities that took place during this "I LANGUAGES DAY".

TEA ROOM: Everybody spoke English there!!

BOARD GAMES: Students from 3rd year played games organized by the students in 1st year Bachillerato.

ERASMUS+ SPEECH:Alexandra and Shannon, the Irish students, talked about their school, their life in Ireland , the differences with Spain... and why it is so interesting to take part in European programmes.

DRAMA WORKSHOP: Students from the 4th year played some funny games.

"I LANGUAGES DAY" AT IES SELGAS

As you all know, on 27th May, we celebrated for the first time what we called "I LANGUAGES DAY". The idea was to make students, teachers and other members of the school aware of all the languages studied and spoken in our school. Another goal was to make you realize that using the languages you are learning in class every day has a very clear purpose: communication. We have collected some photos of the activities suggested by the different departments for you to enjoy, whether you took part in any of them or just to see how this special day was. 

We started with a very successful one, THE TEA ROOM, prepared by the bilingual students in 4th ESO, helped by their teacher Merche. The idea was to open a typical tea room in which, provided you spoke English, you could enjoy a cup of tea and a piece of cake. To get some pounds to pay for your tea, students (and teachers) had to answer some general questions, in English, of course! The students decorated the classroom and cooked the cakes themselves. It was very difficult to choose: carrot cake, Victoria sponge, scones, apple pie, etc.

Some students and teachers in our school, apart from learning French or English, speak other languages, mostly because those languages are their mother tongue. Among them we have Portuguese, Romanian, Tagalo (our language assistant, Erika Vagay), Guaraní, Catalan... There are other languages we study, but we don't speak, such as Latin or Greek, so  Esther, from the Classical Languages Department helped with that! With this idea, a LANGUAGE WORKSHOP was prepared by Rosa, during which these students taught some simple words or sentences to students in 1st and 2nd ESO. They prepared some posters that were placed in the hall opposite the library entrance, for us to revise every day... 

At the same time, in another activity organized by the Language Department and lead by Laura and Ana, students in 4th ESO and 1st Bach read some POEMS and played some beautiful music. 

Meanwhile, students in 1st Bach, guided by their teacher, Ana Peláez, played BOARD AND CARD GAMES games with students in 3rd ESO, explaining the rules, controlling any possible cheating...

Finally, other students watched the FILM "Big", starred by Tom Hanks, in English with subtitles. You know that this is very useful when learning a foreign language. Alberto helped with this activity. 

LANGUAGES WORKSHOP, POEMS, CINEMA AND BOARD GAMES on PhotoPeach
And all those activities took place before the break! After a short rest the day continued with more learning and fun:

Shannon and Alexandra, the two girls from our partner school in Ireland, who spent two moths in our school, within the "Long-term Pupil Mobility Programme" in the Erasmus + "SMILE" programme our school is working with, explained their experience in Spain, the differences with their hometown, etc. A student from our school, Estrella Marqués, also told us about her two- month stay in a school in Austria. 

Not enough food in the Tea Room? The French Department prepared some delicious "crepes" in the CREPERIE, with Cristina as the main chef.

What about learning English while exercising? That's what students did in the AEROBICS lesson lead by Graciela, form the counselling Department. 

And another FILM, this time in French!

Finally, a DRAMA WORKSHOP, conducted by Rosa and Merche, to let go any stress... It was fun!

We hope you enjoyed this special day and are looking forward to having a "II Languages Day" next year!

4º ESO, BILINGUAL GROUP: A BOOK I RECOMMEND

Those who follow our blog will have noticed by now that many teachers have decided to ask students to use the app Voicethread to make presentations. Now it is the turn of students who have been in the bilingual stream for four years now. You will see that their effort has had a reward: just listen to their wonderful presentations about a book they chose to read during the third term.

Thank you for your excellent work and congratualtions!!

WELCOME TO OUR NEW BLOG!!!

As you may know, the English  Department has had two blogs for quite a long time now. However, with the constant changes in the new technologies, they have become obsolete. That's why we have decided to MOVE to a new home, which will make things much easier for us.

For example, it has allowed us to use this fantastic app, that some of you will also have to use...

You can find this app  in www.voki.com/
