All the students must read during the year. Your teachers will tell you the names of the Readers for this first period of the year. All of you will have a test on these Readers before Christmas holidays.
Go to the library and BORROW (pide prestado) one copy ( only for 15 days). Go as soon as possible because there are NOT many copies, ok?.
This year, if you want you can have the possibility to listen to the CD of the story at home. ASK YOUR ENGLISH  TEACHER!

CONGRATULATIONS and CU SOON

Esta es mi última entrada  para despedirme de momento de todo el alumnado en nombre del DEPARTAMENTO DE INGLÉS.

A todos/as  los/las que habeis trabajado durante el curso , seguro que ahora teneis la recompensa del descanso en verano y buenas notas en las finales, por eso “CONGRATULATIONS”. El resto tiene que seguir trabajando un poco más hasta septiembre que es cuando acaba el curso.

Finalmente a un grupo de vosotros/as os veré pronto en Peterborough, así que CU SOON (see you soon- nos vemos pronto)!

 

PROYECTO INTEGRADO (1ºBCT)

En este último trimestre, el alumnado de 1ºBCT está realizando un fantástico trabajo en el PROYECTO INTEGRADO “lISTENING AND SPEAKING”.

Ya que un número elevado de alumnos/as de este grupo van este verano a Inglaterra con las Becas de Idioma y Juventud, han elaborado y aprendido información de utilidad no sólo para ellos, sino para todos vosotros. Su trabajo ha consistido en realizar una WEBQUEST a través de la que han encontrado información sobre los principales monumentos de LONDRES y luego han realizado fantásticas presentaciones en el aula, durante las cuales hemos ido aprendiendo un poco más acerca de lo que probablemente veremos próximamente, o al menos sobre cultura británica.

FAREWELL!

Ya que esta es mi última entrada de momento para los alumnos/as de 2º Bachillerato, y tras haber disfrutado junto a ellos de un entrañable final de curso, quiero desearos lo mejor. Para los que aún no han terminado el curso, un poco más de esfuerzo para llegar a septiembre bien preparados  para una nueva etapa. Por ello, enseñaros la expresión Farewell! que es un adiós no tan coloquial como “good.bye” al que estáis acostumbrados, pero quizás más significativo ya que os quiero expresar !QUÉ OS VAYA BIEN!
