Spelling Bee contest

And the winner is... Alejandro Carrera, Colexio Alborada!!!!!!!!!! Congrats Alex on your success on behalf of all the school teachers. 

Last Friday was a great day for our school and for Alex, of course. He got the first prize on the 5th Spelling Bee contest organized by Schoolhouse. He had to spell seven words (available, straighten, garments, enthusiasm, emphasis, employment & kneel) to get the first prize and, thus, the one-month English course in Toronto, Canada. It was really exciting!

The rest of the contestants from our school (Pablo Dapena, Andrea Mª Pena & Iago Martínez) did a great job, too. I'm very proud of all of you, guys.

Thank you Alex for editing the video and sending it to me.

Show & Tell - 4th ESO


What is Show & Tell? It is a public speaking exercise which gives students a chance to discuss or introduce a special memory, item, photo, book or object to their fellow classmates.

The school's 4th ESO students had the opportunity of talking to their classmates about the following topics:  English food and its cliches, Lady Gaga, Matt Groening, Family Guy, their class football team and the evolution of mobile phones. It was really interesting and... funny sometimes. Good job, guys!
