THE OHIO PROJECT VIDEO

    Once upon a time in Selgas there was a lovely language assistant called Hannah Griswold. One of her former teachers at the North Olmstead High School in Ohio suggested that Hannah's Spanish students could make a video showing what their school is like and the teacher and students in the 3rd Year ESO bilingual class didn't hesitate to accept the challenge.

    Even though we've had much fun (some more than others ;)), it hasn't been a bed of roses. Ask Matthew Harvey!😅 Anyway, if you want to check it out, click on the picture below.

We look forward to getting a reply from the students at North Olmstead High School.

SEEING THE SIGHTS IN... (WRITING UNIT 7)

Students in the 2nd ESO BILINGUAL GROUP have been travelling these days, lucky them! Although it has been a virtual trip, it has helped them to get to know some really interesting things about some fascinating places in the world. They wanted to share their experiences with you all, so they have prepared this Padlet. 

Hope you enjoy it and helps you travel too, even if it is only in a virtual way....

FOR THOSE TAKING THE EBAU EXAMS...

 

BINGE-WATCHING!

Suppose you are fond of watching TV series on streaming platforms. In that case, you may have noticed that the next episode automatically plays even without pressing the playback button on your TV remote control or your streaming device screen. The episodes usually end with one or more cliffhangers which leave you anxious to see the next one. Everything is planned to keep you watching one episode after the other, all you have to do is sit down and wait without moving a muscle. When you do that, you are binge-watching!!! Just as Homer Simpson in the image below!

binge-watching: the practice of watching multiple episodes of a television programme in rapid succession, typically by means of DVDs or digital streaming.

If you don't want to end up like Homer Simpson but you need and extra-help to stop watching your favourite TV series,  remember that you can disable the 'autoplay next' feature in your streaming platform!!!

A CLASS MAGAZINE BY THE BILINGUAL GROUPS

 

For some weeks in May the bilingual students in 1st, 2nd and 4th year have been working in a class magazine in which they have included articles about different topics that they are interested in or which were close or important for them. All the work has been carried out with the help of our language assistant, Hannah, and in her weekly lesson.

Each group has a copy of the magazine in their classrooms for all the students to read and enjoy! CLICK ON THE MAGAZINE COVERS TO HAVE A LOOK.

 Students from the 3rd year have been involved in a different project, making a video to share with students of Spanish from an American school. 

So we have been working quite a lot in the Bilingual Programme to celebrate the Month of Communication.
