Webquest about Spain

All our students have done webquests about our partners' countries. Now the pupils from 3º B, 3º C, 3º Diversificación have created webquests about Spain. In this way all our partners, through this game, have the chance to know a bit more about us thanks to the great work of our students. This is one example:

Pedro

"Pedro" is a very easy song that our students will teach to their guests. Here they sing it in order to help you learn it. Try not to get confused!
En una cabaña, al pie del Bosque Negro,
vivía un cowboy que se llamaba Pedro...
¿Cómo se llamaba? ¡Pedro!
Tenía un caballo, que dormía en un establo,
mientras se tomaba alegremente un té...
¿Qué se tomaba? ¡Un té!
¿Cómo se llamaba? ¡Pedro!
Pero había un indio que era muy muy listo,
se subió al establo y le robó el caballo
¿Qué le robó? ¡El caballo!
¿Qué se tomaba? ¡Un té!
¿Cómo se llamaba? ¡¡Pedro!!


In a hut, down the Black Forest
A cowboy lived, called Pedro
What was his name? Pedro
He had a horse, who slept in a stable
While he was having so happily a tea
What was he having? A tea
What was his name? Pedro
But there was an indian who was very clever
He went into the stable and stole his horse
What did he steal? His horse
What was he having? A tea
What was his name? Pedro

Activity booklet

We have prepared an activity booklet for our students. Here they have a program of the whole week of the meeting in Spain, the distribution into two buses, three "school-made" guides of Caceres, Merida and Seville and some questions about their final impressions. And we are sure they will remember this week every time they have a look at this booklet.

Last meeting with parents

Yesterday evening we had another meeting with parents to talk about the last details of the program. They are very excited about the visit of our partners. And worried about the communication with their guests. That's why we also gave them a short lesson of English to survive that will be useful for sure!

Spanish to survive

During our meeting in Hornachos we'll have a Spanish lesson. Our partners will have the chance to learn basic sentences to introduce themselves, to go shopping or to eat in a restaurant. It's Spanish to survive!

Two groups for buses and visits

We'll be 95 people in the visits to Merida, Caceres and Seville so we'll have to be well organised. Students and teachers will be divided into two groups for buses and for the visits to the monuments of Seville. These are the students' groups:

With Japan

Two weeks to go!!

Just two weeks for the visit of our partners to Spain. That will be 27th March, when daylight saving time starts. At two o'clock we'll move clocks forward by one hour. Let's hope nobody will be confused with clock changes. Here you have a nice page where you can learn why, when, how this daylight saving time or summer time began and some really interesting anecdotes about countries where it was observed only in certain areas.

Churros and croquetas on "The Guardian"

Today on the online British newspaper "The Guardian" there is an article talking about "churros", "croquetas" and "chorizo". During the visit of our partners they will have the chance to try them. Read the article written by Hugh Fearnley (click on the picture) and why not, try to prepare the recipe!

Visiting Spain

We will visit three main places within the meeting in Spain at the end of this month: Caceres and Merida on Tuesday, and Seville on Wednesday. Here you have three "school-made" city guides to enjoy these places. Our students will read them and complete the activities included. Do you want to know a bit more about these World Heritage cities?
