W/C 25th May - the final week!!

Ahhhh! My eight months with you all have now finished! :( It was very sad to leave but as I'm still going to be in Cáceres for a couple more weeks, I will come in and say goodbye again before I leave properly.

It has been a great year. I have worked with fantastic teachers and met many great students! You have all been a pleasure to teach, I wish you all the best for the future and if you ever come to England while I'm there then please do let me know!!

Enjoy the feria!!

Nicola :)

W/C 11th May

Hi guys,

Due to the trip to Bath last week, I didn't see the groups in 3 and 4 of ESO. So I'm combining last week's work and this week's work in this post.

With 1 ESO, we have been working on monologues for the oral exams. Remember to say as much as you can and use all the useful vocabulary you have learnt from each module!

With 2 ESO, we have been practising talking about appearances by finding images of people in magazines and describing them in small groups.

With 3 ESO, with Group B we did some work on the 2nd conditional. You can find this powerpoint HERE
With Group A we had a lesson on music. You can see that presentation by clicking on the image below:



With 4 ESO, we have been doing some practise oral exams. This included looking at photos and comparing/contrasting them in pairs. Remember to revise the vocabulary you learnt about how to describe photos and make suggestions about them.

Have a good weekend,

Nicola

W/C 27th April

Hi everyone, here are the things we have done in the last couple of weeks!

1 ESO: We did some oral work on transport. We also learnt about how Saint George's Day is celebrated in England. You can see the presentation by clicking on the image below:



2 ESO: With some of you, we had to finish off talking about the environment. However, we have now started appearances. You can find the presentation I made by clicking HERE. We will now start describing appearances in small groups over the next few weeks.

3 ESO: We learnt about Saint George's Day, it's the same presentation as above. With one group I also did some work on the second conditional.We discussed what we would do if various situations occurred. This powerpoint is HERE

4 ESO: We finished doing the game about describing objects. We began to talk about the upcoming oral exams, and how to do well in an oral exam. Finally we started to do some mock oral exams, we will be doing these over the next few weeks.

Finally, here is an interesting article for you about false friends in English and Spanish, enjoy! Click HERE

Conditionals

Hello everyone!

I know I haven't posted anything on here in a while - over Easter (and a little bit later) I was busy in the UK and therefore came back to school later than everyone else. Also, because of San Jorge last week, me being ill one day this week, and some school trips taking place, things have been a bit chaotic for me! I will upload everything I have done with you all by the end of the week.

In the meantime, if you are struggling with conditionals in English I suggest you have a look at a blog I found by clicking HERE

It is all about different songs in English that demonstrate the different conditionals. So if you're into music and need some help on your conditionals this could be perfect for you!! (P.s., that sentence was a conditional too ;))

Enjoy,

Nicola

W/C 23rd March

Hi everyone,

Woohoo it is now the Easter holidays!



I hope you all have lots of fun things planned!

This week you have all been doing activities and finishing exams, so I haven't seen many of you! With 3 ESO we did some oral work in small groups, talking about the past, present and future.
I didn't have time to do the 'Describing Things / Inventions' lesson with the other 4 ESO group, so if you want to see it you can click HERE and do the activities and learn the vocabulary at home.

See you all soon!

Nicola
