Hello everybody and welcome to our English blog! 👋

This blog has been created with the idea of helping students to review at home the topics they are working on in the English classroom. So, here, you will find some material that is being used in the classroom, other material that will be useful to reinforce their linguistic skills and some information related to activities that have been developed.

We hope you enjoy it!

Creating our own Jack-o’-Lantern!

Mónica Cuevas17/11/25  

A few days ago, the students of the elective course English Around the World (3rd of ESO) explored one of the most iconic celebrations from the English-speaking world: Halloween! They discovered the origins of this festivity by playing a Halloween trivia challenge, where they learnt that Halloween comes from the ancient Celtic festival Samhain. Then, as you can see in the pictures, students worked together to design and carve a traditional, spooky and creative jack-o’-lantern🎃🕯️.

 

 

 

Autumn is coming!

Our 5th and 6th graders have been talking about possible activities that we can do in autumn through the story of Flunk, a cute monster who didn’t like autumn, but at the end loves it. Here you have some of their favourite parts of the story.

Cambridge First Certificate

Mónica Cuevas24/09/25  

Benvolgudes famílies,

Ens plau informar-vos que per segon any consecutiu al nostre centre s’ha realitzat el Cambridge First Certificate Exam i tots els alumnes que s’han presentat, l’han aprovat. Després d’estudiar l’anglès com a llengua estrangera des d’I3 fins a 4t d’ESO, l’alumnat ha tingut l’oportunitat de fer un examen que acredités el nivell B2 d’anglès. Aquest examen es va ser al nostre centre al mes de juny on van poder gaudir d’una planta sencera amb un ambient tranquil i familiar per a realitzar-lo. Després de 3 mesos esperant els resultats podem dir… Congratulations for having passed the First Certificate Exam 🥳🇬🇧!!

English speaking countries project

Mónica Cuevas28/01/25  

Hello again!

The students of the elective subject English around the world have been looking for information to create a project about English-speaking countries. They have discovered that English is an official language in many countries worldwide, not just in the UK and the USA. The most prominent English-speaking countries include the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. In these nations, English is the primary language used for communication, education, and government. In addition to this, countries like South Africa, India, and Nigeria recognise English as an official language, often alongside others, due to historical ties to British colonisation.

Great job! 👏🏻👏🏻

Gingerbread houses

Mónica Cuevas13/12/24  

Today, the English Around the World elective course students from 3r d’ESO built and decorated these beautiful gingerbread houses!! As you can see in the pictures, the gingerbread houses are made from gingerbread panels glued together with royal icing and decorated with candy, chocolate, and other sweets🍫🍭🍬.

Would you like to know a little bit about this tradition? The tradition of decorated gingerbread houses began in Germany in the early 1800s, supposedly popularised after the not-so-Christmassy fairytale of Hansel and Gretel was published in 1812.

Merry Xmas!🎅🏻
