DO YOU REMEMBER MY FAMILY?

We have been practising family words in class, using the saxon genitive to express relationships. Now let's see how much of it you can remember. 

Here is a picture of part of my family. I took it this summer when we were in France on holiday. Can you try and make all the connections? We did this activity in class... so this is just refreshing your memory!

Use the comments section below to write sentences about my family. Who's Marcos? Who's he married with? Who are his children? Who are my nephews and nieces? etc.

If you also have nice pictures of your families, I can post them here. Just send them to me by email and I´ll do the rest:

Here is the first one. This is Porfi´s family!! Can you make your guesses??

 

EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES

As the inititative of the Council of Europe, the European Day of Languages has been celebrated every year since 2001 on 26 September. It aims at alerting European citizens to the importance of language learning and diversifying the number of languages studied in order to increase intercultural exchange. 

I would like to join the celebration by sharing a video with you: "O rap da lingua" by Migallas Teatro, a theatre group that our workmate Carlos Yus, who works at the EOI as a Galician teacher, has founded. ENJOY!

WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL!! (Course 17 - 18)

Hi everybody!!

Eoi pontevedra acollida alumnado_novo_17-18 from paulokagomez

I am happy to welcome each and everyone of you to a new school year at EOI Pontevedra. It is hard to believe.... but it is that time of the year again!!! 

This is going to be a special course, because this year we are celebrating our school´s 30th anniversary!!!! So, I hope you had a very good summer break to be ready for a wonderful start to this festive time. Are you willing to embark on the exciting journey that begins with the new school year?? There will be lots of opportunities for language learning!!!

Starting over is always a very exciting time of year for most students – learning how to navigate the new classroom, meeting new friends and the teacher, and reconnecting with the old ones will likely be the primary focus of interest for the first few days. As in any time of change and transition, this can also be a rather stressful period; these are a few things you can do to settle back into school:

1. Establish a routine to make sure an early start on Monday is not too much of a shock.

2. Go and buy some exciting new kit!! What about picking up a fun new school notebook or pen.

3. Have a positive attitude and see the school year as a new opportunity rather than the end of fun.

4. Stay organised and get into the habit of preparing everything you need to make your school day life easier.

5. Introduce a new school year´s resolution. Choose your own challenge or goal and stick to it!

If you are really looking forward to the new school year, send us your own tips and goals in the comments section below or let us know how you are coping!!
