This year our school took part for the first time in a contest about English and English speaking countries.The Big Challenge is an English language contest for students between the ages of 11 and 16. It is held every year in May in schools across France, Germany, Austria, Spain and Sweden. In 2003, over 610,00 students with 30,000 teachers from 6,000 schools participated in The Big Challenge.Created in France in 1999 by a group of English teachers, its main purpose is to motivate students learning languages with an educational yet fun experience. 

Our students have done really well, so CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Here you have a video with some photos of the students and  their prizes.

Fancy trying a new game for improving your English?

SPELL UP

The goal of the game is to correctly spell the words you hear and stack them to build the highest word tower you can—letter by letter, word by word. The higher the tower gets, the more difficult the word challenges: You’ll be asked to pronounce words correctly, solve word jumbles and guess mystery words. You can earn bonuses and coins to level up faster.

LONDON 2014

Last April, at Easter, a group of students from our school travelled to London accompanied by two teachers.

For some it was the first time they flew and travelled to another country. So, full of hope and excited, we set off on Tuesday 21 April. The starting point: our school. Our first destination was the International Airport Francisco de Sá Caneiro

After a flight without any turbulence, we arrived at LONDON GATWICK, where a tourist guide was waiting to take us to the hotel. The journey was slow because we are not used to the heavy traffic of a big city during rush hour. Once in the hotel we left the luggage and with no time to waste, we went for a walk to the heart of London: Trafalgar Square through the Strand and the River Thames.

If you want to find out more about our trip, watch the video with the photos, a photo-diary of our 2014 trip to London.

El pasado mes de abril, en Semana Santa, un grupo de alumnos de nuestro cole viajaron a Londres acompañados de dos profesores.

Para algunos fue la primera vez que volaban y que viajaban a otro país. Así que llenos de ilusión pero también de nervios, nos fuimos el martes 21 de abril. El punto de partida: nuestro Cole, como no podía ser de otra forma. Nuestro primer destino fue el aeropuerto internacional Francisco de Sá Caneiro.

Tras un vuelo sin turbulencias llegamos a LONDON GATWICK donde nos estaban esperando para llevarnos al hotel. El trayecto se hizo lento porque no estamos acostumbrados al pesado tráfico de una gran ciudad a la hora punta. Una vez en el hotel dejamos el equipaje y sin tiempo que perder, nos fuimos a dar un paseo hasta el corazón de Londres: Trafalgar Square pasando por  la Strand y llegando al río Támesis.
