See you soon English Breakfast!



Hello friends:

As the academic year ends, we foresee with happiness that vacation time approaches . English Breakfast project has started up this year with great results and, I think, it is a good time to take a break and come back very soon, with fresh ideas and new proposals.

I would want to say goodbye to you all, since I wont be able to be with you at school in the future and thu,s I wont be at our everyday meetings to practise and improve our english level; BUT !!! I promise that I'll be in touch and that I'll try to post on the blog all the good stuff that I find to share with you all.

And because of that, I want to devote to you, my dear colleagues, my last post as a teacher in this highschool .It is a beautiful song, which belongs to a cartoon series called the Big Blue House.Even if its conceived for kindergarten children, I think it reflects perfectly the happy feelings I want to share with you.

 
                                                            
                             
 I wish you the best hollidays ever and would like to encourage you to keep working as hard as you've been doing. You make a fantastic team!

See you soon English Breakfast.

                                                                                                              Best Regards,

                                                                                                                                  Ana

 P.S Monica! I've found the french version. I hope you'll like it. Elle est très belle! (L'émission en français s'appelle la Maison Bleue, mignonne, n'est-ce pas?)

Alice in Wonderland Cross Curricular Project

This term the Bilingual Section worked on a cross curricular project based on  the story Alice in Wonderland. After reading Louis Caroll´s famous story in English class, each student wrote a  semi- scientific version of the story based on what they studied in Natural  Science about the the Earth´s crust and core. Here is one student´s version!
 
Alice on the Continental Relief and Oceanic Floor
by Yusra Safouani Bouraiji

One day, Alice was at the beach with her parents.She told to her parents that she decided to dive.Her father told her:
-Don't go far and don't be late ok?
-Ok dad!
When she was deep in the beach,she found a shrimp.She asked the shrimp:
-What's your name?
-Wachifloppy and you?-asked the shrimp.
-My name is Alice,nice to meet you.
Wachifloppy showed Alice where she lived,she lived near a submarine volcano!.Alice asked the shrimp:
-You aren't afraid?
-No,because I'm used to this volcano.-answered Watchifloppy.
Then,alice started to ask her stupid questions like:Can shrimps talk?.So the swrimp took Alice to two places:oceanic ridge where her sister lived and to a continental shelf  where her best friend lived.When they arrived to the oceanic ridge,Wachifloppy said to Alice not to be shy.But when they arrived to the continental shelf,she met the friend of Wachifloppy.Alice asked herself:If there wasn't any sand on the continental shelf,what would there be instead?
The parents of Alice started to worry about her.Her father started to shout:
-Alice Alice!!Where are you?
Alice didn't listen to her father,so she continued in the continental shelf with Wachifloppy and asked herself many questions.But  Wachifloppy had to go home,so Alice went to the shore,but while she was going to the shore,there was a shark and she got nervous.The sahrk told to Alice:
-Don't be scared,I'm not going to bite you.
But Alice suspected because the sharks always bite you but this shark didn´t...it's very strange.but when the shark talked she recognized the voice.It was her father,he only wanted to do this to see if Alice was scared or not.Finally they went to the shore and Alice told all the adventures she had under the water.
THE END
