PEN-PALS EN LA CLASE DE INGLÉS!

Alumnos de 1ºC y B iniciaron el trimestre pasado correspondencia con alumnos del colegio británico King's College de Murcia. El objetivo: practicar la expresión y comprensión oral en inglés de una manera funcional y lúdica. Entablar amistad y compartir experiencias con otros estudiantes está resultando sin duda una experiencia muy enriquecedora. Esta semana han recibido con muchísima ilusión la respuesta a su primera carta: hemos leido las cartas y nos lo hemos pasado realmente bien!

IT'S ME!

En este primer trimestre, los alumnos de 1ºC han trabajado en la asignatura de inglés, la primera parte del proyecto "It's me!. Un trabajo autobiográfico donde nos hacen partícipes de aspectos de su vida diaria y como no ,de su personalidad. Enhorabuena por el interés y el esfuerzo que habéis puesto chicos! Great work!

Cuentos de mitología griega

Los alumnos de 1º ESO leyeron el libro Tales from Greek Mythology. Aprendimos sobre los mitos de Perséfone y Hades, que explicaban en el mundo antiguo el curso de las estaciones., de la historia de amor de Orfeo y Eurídice, ese músico capaz de bajar al inframundo con su lira para rescatar a su esposa. Y también la historia de Narciso, enamorado de sí mismo, que acabó ahogado por el deseo de abrazarse a sí mismo en el reflejo de las aguas. 

 Después de su lectura nos quedaron algunos de estos trabajos, unos collages que recreaban sobre cuadros clásicos las historias que leímos.

 

 

WORKING IN THE PROJECT!!!!! OUR CITIES!!!!!!

Every Wednesday and Monday during the months of February and March, the students of 2ºC and 2ºB have been doing an activity related to the MARES project. We group in groups of two to four people. This was to show a power point that explained things about our village, including "places of interest","population" and "history" as some of really important factors in our work. At the end of each lesson, we gave the data  to our teachers Mª José, José Antonio and Eva. The final task consisted in sending the project to our teacher Eva to be qualified by her.

Teatro en inglés

El 18 de noviembre Alan Kennedy, from the north of Scotland, vino a Sanje a contarnos historias en ingles. He is a storyteller. Los alumnos de 1º, 2º y 4º ESO tuvieron la oportunidad de pasar un buen rato enteramente en inglés.

¿Quieres conocer la historia de los tres hermanos?

SEEING GREEN

In a village in the north of Scotland, three brothers work in a farm. They are bored. They want adventure.

Three brothers work in a farm

The baby brother is the most handsome brother. The middle brother is the second most handsome brother. Alphonse is the oldest. He feels responsible.

The baby brother is the most handsome brother

One day they decide to go to war for adventure. In the village there is a party to say goodbye to the boys.

-  Brothers, tonight there is a party to say goodbye. There is dancing and singing. And girls.

There are girls at the party

But the baby brother is frightened of girls. He feels terrified.

- Are you more terrified of girls than terrified of war?

- Yes, says the baby brother.

Paula and her friends are at the party. Alphonse and his brothers arrive.

Alphonse and his brothers arrive 

                 

            -  Brothers, remember. The last night it is very important to have fun.

They see the girls and they start talking.

Paula says:

- Alphonse, war is not an adventure. War is not a game. War is terrible, horrible, dangerous.

- Paula, listen. Forget about the war. It’s a party. Let’s dance. I love dancing. I’m a fantastic dancer.

And they all dance

And they all dance.

Paula likes Alphonse. He is good-looking. He is intelligent. He is handsome. Alphonse is her man. Alphonse likes Paula. They fall in love. The three brothers fall in love with the three girls.

They fall in love

Alphonse promises he will write a letter every day. Paula promises she will be here after the war. It doesn’t matter if war is long.

- Paula, I love you.

- Alphonse, I love you.

The three brothers go to war. The brothers write letters every day to their girlfriends. For one week, two weeks, one month, six months. But one day the letters stop. No more letters. A year passes by. No information. One day Paula receives one letter from the Government, an official letter: Alphonse is alive. He is coming home tomorrow by train. Paula is excited. And the brothers? Are they coming? They don’t know. Maybe.

Alphonse comes back to the village. He gets off the train. He is a little bit different. Paula doesn’t recognize him. Alphonse can’t see, he is blind. A bomb exploded in his face. And the brothers. They are dead. The girls are sad.

A bomb exploded in his face

Paula still loves Alphonse. They walk every day and she describes everything:

- Can you hear the birds? Can you hear the trees? It’s October, autumn. Can you smell the flowers?

- Paula, you are my eyes. I can see everything in my imagination.

They go walking and walking and after six months, they get married. 

They get married

Paula’s friends think Alphonse is terrible. He is ugly. His eyes.. his nose… his face… he is a monster!

He is a monster

One day a famous doctor comes to the village. An eye doctor: an ophthalmologist. Maybe he can help. Maybe Alphonse can see. They go to see the doctor.

-     -  My husband is blind.

They go to see the ophthalmologist

The doctor checks his eyes

The doctor checks Alphonse’s eyes. It’s possible to help: an eye transplant. But it’s expensive.

- How expensive?

-  It depends on the colour, says the ophthalmologist. Brown eyes are five thousand. Blue eyes, ten thousand.

-  That is very expensive. Have you something cheaper?

- Well, green eyes: one, five euros; two, ten euros. But sometimes green eyes have psychological problems. You know green is the colour of jealousy. Sometimes green eyes make the person jealous, possessive, crazy.

- My Alphonse jealous, possessive, crazy? That’s impossible.

My Alphonse jealous? That's impossible!

They want one green eye. So, the doctor takes the green eye and Alphonse to hospital. After two weeks in hospital, Alphonse comes out with his new eye. He can see but there is a little problem. He sees everything green. Paula is all green. Birds are green. Flowers are green. Trees are green. The sky is green.

Who is that?

They go walking. Paula’s cousin says “Hi”. Alphonse gets angry:

- Who is that?

-          - He is my cousin

Paula’s uncle says “Hi”. Alphonse gets angry:

 -      Who is that?
- He is my uncle

Paula’s grandfather says “Hello”. Alphonse gets angry:

- Who is that?

- He is my grandfather.

- Paula, I don’t like you talking to other boys, to other men. 

- But, Alphonse, they are my family.

- No. From now on, you don’t leave the house. You stay here. You are mine.

- No, Alphonse. I’m sorry. I love you. But I’m not yours.

Paula stays in the house. Alphonse is jealous. He is crazy because of his green eye. One day Alphonse falls asleep and she escapes. She goes to see her friends. She needs help.

She needs help

They help Paula. Green is the colour of jealousy. They try a different colour. Red? No, it’s the colour of anger. Blue? No, it’s sad. A different colour. They think and think and finally they go to the shops and buy some pink sunglasses. In English if you see life in pink, you feel good.

Alphonse sees life with his pink sunglasses

Alphonse feels good now with his pink sunglasses. Alphonse and Paula are happy again.

And they lived happily ever after

They lived happily ever after
