The last few months we have had Kevin's help in our classes. He came from Kenya and quickly became not only a new teacher but also a good friend.
Kevin and other six university graduates from Kenya and Uganda are the first to participate in the Training Exchange in East Africa Project.
We have improved our conversation in English and we have also learned more about other cultures. It would be great to repeat the next course. Thank you so much, Kevin!
On February 8th all our students will celebrate the Day of Peace with a small walk. Its objective is to educate for and about tolerance, solidarity and respect for Human Rights, non-violence and peace.
Next to the Monument to the Heroes of Orzán all of us will release white balloons in the air and sing We are the world, the popular song by Michael Jackson. If you want to learn it, here is a video that can help you. If you find it difficult, you can practice only the chorus (the part in blue). And here you have the spanish translation.
«WE ARE THE WORLD»
There comes a time when we heed a certain call When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And its time to lend a hand to life
There greatest gift of all
We cant go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of God’s great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need
Chorus:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving
Theres a choice we're making
We're saving out own lives
Its true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to brend
So we all must lend a helping hand
Chorus:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving
Theres a choice we're making
We're saving out own lives
Its true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
The most entertaining morning of theatre in the Fogar. The company Face2face delighted us with two plays that adapt two classics of English literature:Frankenstein, a novel written by Mary Shelley and Macbeth, a tragedy written by William Shakespeare.
Brad and Janet's car breaks down on a deserted road in the middle of a
storm. There is a light on in the distance. They decide to seek help at the sinister-looking castle on top of the
hill. Dr Frankenstein is throwing a wild party to celebrate the birth of
his latest creation, and he welcomes the young couple into his dark and
mysterious abode. He will help them ... but at a price.
Face 2 Face sets Shakespeare's famous tragedy in a fast-good
restaurant, where Macbeth is a conniving kitchen boy. This tragedy
adeptly converted into social satire illustrates how the Macbeth
couple's amibition and unbridled greed drives them to ruin while the
audience cracks up laughing.
Fear, tragedy and lots of laughs for our Primary and Secondary students, that also took part on the scene.
With you, «Jingle Bells», one of the best-known American Christmas songs. This version will help you to learn the lyrics. The first time, you
can listen and repeat.
Then you can try
to singdirectly at regular speed.
Lyrics:
♫ Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh. O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way. Bells on bobtails ring, making spirits bright. What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight.
Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. Hey! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
Hello! This is our new friend James. What do you think? Can James dance? Can James sing? Can James climb? Can James fly?... Click the picture and play: write a verb and you’ll seeif he cando it or not.
An
aeroplane crashes in the middle of the jungle. The only survivor is a
small boy who is adopted by monkeys. The boy grows up to become Tarzan,
lord of the apes.
Un
avión estrélase no medio da xungla. O único supervivente é un bebé que é
adoptado por uns monos. O neno medra ata se converter en Tarzán, o rei
dos simios.
Convidado
polo noso Departamento de Inglés, este heroe da xungla deixouse caer o
pasado mércores 26 de marzo polo Fogar, da man da compañía madrileña Face 2 Face.
Un espectáculo vibrante e cheo de humor, integramente en inglés, que
fixo as delicias dos alumnos e alumnas do 2.º e 3.º ciclos de EP e tamén
dos do 1.º curso de ESO.
Entre
carreiras, zoupadas, brincadeiras, bailes e cancións, coñecemos as
peripecias dun Tarzán algo pasmón, do seu mellor amigo Cheetah, da
intrépida xornalista Jane e do malvado cazador Archie. Iso si, coa
inestimable colaboración dos actores e actrices «da casa». Que arte
sobre o escenario!
Unha experiencia de teatro en inglés que, de seguro, poderemos repetir. It will be fun!
