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.
On Friday, March 25th at 17.30 h., the 5th edition of the Spelling Bee Contest organized by Schoolhouse will be held in the auditorium of Novacaixagalicia. Four students from our school (two of 5th of primary & two of 3rd of ESO) will be participating in this edition. You're all invited to come and cheer your schoolmates. Entrance is free!!!
This month we travel to Los Angeles to visit The GRAMMY Museum. It is an exciting and interactive celebration of the power of music. Four floors of cutting edge exhibits, interactive experiences and films provide a one-of-a-kind visitor experience — engaging, educational, celebratory and inspirational.
This month we'll learn about the Golden Globe Awards. A Golden Globe award is an accolade presented by the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) to recognize excellence in film and television, both domestic and foreign. The annual ceremony and dinner at which the awards are presented is a major part of the film industry's awards season, which culminates each year with the Academy Awards (The Oscars).
Have a look at its official web page if you want to have further information.
This month we'll learn about another American city: Chicago. It is the largest city in the state of Illinois and the most populous city in the Midwestern United States. The city is a centre for business and finance and is listed as one of the world's top ten global financial centres. Take a look at its tourism webpage to find plenty of information about this great city.
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!
