Listen to the song "Happy" by Pharrel Williams and enjoy your day!!

... Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
 Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
 Because I'm happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
 Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do.

Countries

The students have created a bank of resources about different countries in the world. Some of them are their countries of origin, so they were the best ambassadors to show us in class some curiosities. Here you can see a sample of them.

Alemania

Andorra
Brasil

Venezuela

See you soon Lissa

This year we have been very lucky to have Lissa with us. She came in the third term but she stayed enough time to be part of the team and she will probably join us next year!! Thanks to her the students got in touch with real English culture and they enjoyed the classes a lot. She is a great artist and she left us proof of that with this fantastic drawing which is now displayed in one of the halls of the school. For this reason and for many more, we want to thank her.

THANK YOU LISSA!!

San Antonio's Festival

Every year in the middle of  the month of June, Cangas de Onís gets ready for a big festival, San Antonio. Girls and women from Cangas get dressed with beautiful and colourful dresses and fill the street for a day, following the rhythm of the bagpipes and the tambourines. As an spectator, I took some photographs of the girls during the procession and this is the result of the snapshots.

Revision game

The end of the academic year is just around the corner. Students are tired of books, workbooks,  worksheets, handouts and they would like to be already on holiday. When we want them to work a little more, the best way is a game, and spinning the wheel is always a good idea, so play here

Economic crisis

Money, money, money, where is it? It seems that this crisis will go on forever as nobody is able to find a solution for it. This year PAU exams have the financial crisis as another juicy topic to introduce as an essay for instance. You may be familiar with the vocabulary as you hear it every single day in the news but I think it is interesting if you watch these videos and learn more about it.

London Olympics 2012

We have just come back from London with a group of 4th ESO students and the city was preparing itself for the Olympics. Plan ahead for the games, that is what they say... so it is quite possible that in this year exams, they introduce a topic about the Olympic Games in London this summer. Here you can check some vocabulary and read about the history of the games. I hope you find it interesting.
