LET´S MAKE A POSTER!

As you all know, the school is deeply involved in supporting the city of Pontevedra as the host of the ITU Multisport championship that is taking place next April. We are running campaigns to recruit volunteers, organizing a video competition and promoting the city that will get packed with visitors and athletes by the end of next month.

One of the activities teachers have been suggested to take part in the event is to make posters that show how amazing it is to have Pontevedra as a host city. 

Students in class are going to design the posters that will be displayed to encourage people in Pontevedra and its surroundings not to miss the event because we all know that it will be an unforgettable experience.

Here are the tips to be followed in class to carry out the activity. I will soon show you the resulting posters!

WELCOME SPRING!!


It is time to welcome spring and embrace sunlight and warm breeze. To celebrate the change of the season I am posting my new update on the monthly ITip: VOA Learning English.


VOA Learning English is a site for students of English as a foreign language that covers a wide variety of subject areas at different levels (from beginner to advanced). It is great for students to get informed on different types of news and improve their reading, listening and grammar skills. You can even give it a go on your mobile if you download the app.

Please, let me know if you find this useful. Hope you enjoy it!

BRITISH FOOD: IS IT YOUR CUP OF TEA?

It has generally been agreed that Britain does not have a good reputation for food. It does not often get the praise it deserves. Surprisingly enough, however, there is quite a bunch of tasty British culinary delights and we are determined to dispel the myth that British food is terrible.

So, come and join us for a live talk at school next 10 April at 16.30 and be prepared to give British food the recoginition it deserves!

VIRTUAL SCHOOL LIBRARY

Our library volunteers have been carrying out a great project! As a result, we now have a new virtual library at the EOI. Isn't it amazing? Visit the library, sit at one of the computers and download the free books to your e-reader, simply because reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body! Isn't that a fair enough reason to do it?

NATIONAL POETRY DAY

National Poetry Day is a Spanish-wide celebration of poetry taking place every March. It generates an explosion of activity nationwide with amazing events taking place in libraries, hospitals... and, of course, schools! We would also like to make our own contribution to the celebration of poetry's power to bring people together. We have a nice selection of poetry books to share with you at school and would also like you to collaborate by writing your own poem. Contact me if you are willing to participate. Have a look at the info on the posters to come up with great ideas to join the competition!

If running out of ideas, even though Britain celebrates the occasion on a different date, you can likewise find inspiration here!
