GOODBYE TO MY STUDENTS... SEE YOU SOON!

Hi my students!

It is Encarni, your English teacher. I just wanted to say goodbye and maybe, why not, see you soon....

Thank you for all the things you have taught me. It was a pleasure having been your teacher for this month. I will never forget you.

I do not forget that we had some pending issues such as the song my students of 3 ESO liked... Noah's Diary soundtrack OR some video recording my students of 1 ESO A wanted to do as extra activity.
OF COURSE, I cannot forget my tutorship, 1 ESO D and my other group 2 ESO

Please, REGISTER FOR THE POSTER COMPETITION that the English Dpt. is organising. It is great!

I wish you all the best

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IS NOBODY'S SPECIAL PROPERTY. IT IS JUST THE PROPERTY OF IMAGINATION...

SO PLEASE, KEEP STUDYING IT AND LET YOUR IMAGINATION BE FREE...

Teacher Encarni.

DESPEDIDA DE 3ºC PARA LA SEÑORITA ENCARNI

Con una cena en la pizzería 'Pizza Pino' una representación del curso 3ºC y del Departamento de Inglés del instituto quiso agradecer a la profesora DªEncarni Muñoz su trabajo y dedicación en el tiempo en el que estuvo con nosotros, y desearle suerte en su nuevo centro y con sus nuevos alumnos, y en sus próximos retos y proyectos.
Los alumnos que asistieron fueron:
Mª Ángeles, Marta L., Sanaa, Mamen, Beatriz, Delia, Marta M., Eli, Sara, Riqui, Lucía, Ángel y Alba. Todos ellos firmaron en un cartel diseñado por ellos mismos y rotulado por Eli, y escribieron sus despedidas y dedicatorias junto a una foto del grupo y un mosaico de mensajes sobre el fondo de una bandera británica.
Fue una velada muy agradable, y es de agradecer que de vez en cuando los alumnos también tengan iniciativas como esta, y sepan demostrar su afecto por sus profesores, unas personas que sólo intentan contribuir en su educación enseñándoles cosas y ayudándoles a lo largo del camino.

HOMEWORK CAN BE FUN

We are glad to show some of your best pieces of creative classwork or homework in the blog. Here you have a few examples of the invitations to Halloween parties, and the new personalities that you imagined.
Well done Andrea, Beatriz, Alejandro, Geneva, Nieves...! (1º - 2º ESO students)
//You can write your comments. We want to read them//

(All the students have their opportunities to show their creations here. So keep up the good work!!!)

FROM YOUR TV TO YOUR CLASSROOM (V)

Enrique Lorca said "Chanel No 5" and "I'm -- fool to want you"(Singer: Billie Holiday). Well, the exact title of the song is "I'M A FOOL TO WANT YOU", so he only gets 2 points this time.
The video features the French actress Audrey Tautou (of Amelie fame), and the beautiful city of Istambul.
Marina Bueno (4ºB) also gets 2 points because she tried her own translation of the lyrics of the previous week.

I'm a fool to want you.


I'm a fool to want you,


to want a love that can’t be true
,

a love that’s there for others too.



I'm a fool to hold you
,

such a fool to hold you...

Here is the final classification of this game:

1st) ENRIQUE LORCA (3ºC)... 11 points

2nd) Pablo Tomás Dorado & Marina Bueno (4ºB)... 3 points

4th) Ceferino Sánchez (4ºB)... 2 points
5th) Sofía Fernandez & María López (4ºA)... 1 point.
