A day at the theatre


On the 10th November, the Department of English organized a trip to Huelva: A new experience for young students who had never watched a play in English. Students from 3º and 4º of E.S.O went to Huelva to enjoy and learn with a wonderful play called "Daily News", performed by Recursos Educativos.

The play is a situation comedy based in a TV studio and the story is as follows: Alf, Chloe, Jack and Rupert work in a news bulletin. Changes in the company make the ambition of the different characters have opposite interests that will end up with a funny fight.
Students had a great time and after watching the play we had lunch at "Plaza las Monjas", a tasty hamburguer and had a walk along Concepción Street. Finally we returned to Niebla. It was a fantastic day out.

"I STILL HAVE A DREAM".


Some generations may pass away before being able to measure the real dimension of the event that has happened today in the history of the United States of America.
Who would have dreamed of it…? But, sometimes, the dreams come true and Barack Obama is in office in the White House.
There was a prophet who dared to have this dream, Martin Luther King. How happy he would have been if he had lived this date. Here I include a link to his historic speech at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on August 28th, 1.963.
Anyway, the world must not forget that only 45 years ago an old black lady should give her seat on a bus to a young white lad in some states of the Union, the same where children should play under infamous signs that stated “FOR WHITES ONLY”.
No, THE WORLD MUSTN´T FORGET.

TIME FOR READING




At last, the new “readers” for 2º are here.
Nunci and Marina are just distributing them from their office.
To begin this year, we have chosen “The Abandoned House” by Burlington. It just follows the mystery path we began the last year.
I encourage my students to go for them as soon as possible to begin our readings together with the Unit 3.

TIME FOR COMPUTERS AND COMPUTERS FOR TIME




Undoubtfully, Internet is a good resource to practise English. Students find useful and amazing the use of this powerful tool, regardless the time used to start the computers at the beginning of a class, which is a handicap.
This year, we must be grateful to all their teachers at school who taught them to use it properly.
Some of them can be seen here just practising “the time” in class and sending their homework to the teacher by e-mail.

HALLOWEEN


As every year, together with our fair, we have celebrated Halloween.
Students in 2º A have chosen "ENGLAND" as the main subject of their class decorations this year and, this way, Halloween has taken place in one of the corners in the class. This is only the beginning. Let us wait and see the results at the end of the year.
