Writing on a whiteboard is fun and our students love it. this is a great resource, which easily gets the whole class involved. We use it a lot in our lessons. This time our students practiced vocabulary and English sentence structures in the English class.

Our students did a presentation about different rivers of Andalucía. They researched information to decide which river they wanted to talk about and find out about its source, course, tributaries and where the river ends. After that, they wrote down this information following the structures that we had worked in class and prepared their presentation.

Today, our dear language assistant, Isabel Palomera, has finished her stay at our school. She has done a great job and all of us are going to miss her a lot. We wish her the best in the future.

In the Science class our students researched information about some important inventions. then they displayed this information on small posters.

In the English class the students had to describe a drawing of their family members doing different tasks at home. First, they planned what they wanted to say. Then, they drew their family members and themselves doing housework at home. And last, they presented it to the class.

In this term our students have been studying the Ancient History of Spain. As part of this unit, they had to investigate the Phoenician and Roman remains in Almuñécar. They used the school's laptops and followed the instructions given via Google Classroom.

For the investigation of the Phoenicians, the students researched information about the Phoenician monuments of Almuñécar using the laptops. Then, they copied and pasted the images of the monuments in a document and wrote a short text describing them. After that, they saved the document and submitted it to Classroom. 

For the investigation of the Romans,  the students were given some images of the Roman monuments of Almuñécar and they looked for the information in two different websites. They also wrote a short description of each monument behind the images and made a poster. Then, they wrote a comment in Classroom saying that they had already completed the task.

All the posters have been displayed in our corridor.

Last week we worked on St Patrick's Day, the popular Irish holiday celebrated on March 17th.

The students did several activities: 

- They watched a video to find out about the history of St Patrick and the celebration of this important day.

- They listened to a couple of songs to identify the symbols associated to this day and completed an oral activity to learn the new vocabulary.

- They played a little game to reveal their Irish leprechaun names. Then they used the laptops to look up their names on the Cambridge online dictionary. Their leprechaun names were very funny!

- They added a green hat and a red beard to a photograph of themselves in order to resemble a leprechaun. Then, they used this photograph to ask a classmate what their leprechaun name was. All their leprechaun faces were displayed on one wall of our school corridor.

- They did an online activity on Liveworksheets. They had to complete some gaps by selecting the right option from three given alternatives. After that, they listened to the text, once they had got all the answers correct.

- And lastly, they practiced how to search images on Google. Then, they copied and pasted the images on a text document. For this, they already had the sentences written down on a text document. They needed to search for the appropriate image representing each sentence and paste it below. They also had to save this document and submit it to Classroom.
