THANKSGIVING!

Hi again everyone!

Today I'm writing to tell you about a really interesting activity that took place at our school for Thanksgiving. As you know, Thanksgiving is celebrated every fourth Thursday of November in the United States and it's a really big and important family celebration. So the Bilingual Coordination of our school organised a "transito" bilingual activity, so called because it involves students from 6th year primary school and from 1st ESO. In this case 100 students were brought together at the Assembly Hall of our school. The activity was developed in English with the special help of our language assistants, both from the primary schools assigned to our school (CEIP Araceli and CEIP Al-Yussana) and our secondary school IES Clara Campoamor. Accordingly, our dear Alyssa, Lauren and Lissy did a really good presentation with details about this celebration. There were pictures, videos, a bingo and even a game ("Who wants to be a Millionaire?") with questions about the contents they had just explained. For the winners there was even a prize that our language assistants happily brought (delicious M&Ms). In addition, our students from 1st ESO in their subject "Libre disposición de inglés" had previously prepared decoration for that purpose, including an exhibition of autumn fruits that was visited by every group in order to check vocabulary related to the topic. The organization of the whole event was a real success and our students enjoyed themselves and learned a lot with the activity, therefore we will be looking forward to organise more activities like this in the near future.
