CULTURE AND CUSTOMS EXHIBITION

Last Thursday, April 23rd, the English Department organised a series of activities as part of the Culture and Traditions Week that was held at our school. Three projects dealing with English-speaking countries were exhibited in different spots around the building. The students of 1º ESO had carried out some research on the culture and customs of the UK, the students of 2º ESO had focused on the former British colony of India and the students of 3º ESO had done the same with the USA. There was ethnic food, drink, music, posters, souvenirs and, above all, loads of fun.

PEN PALS

The students of 3º ESO, groups A and B, are engaged in a penpal exchange with their foreign language colleagues at the Warwick Valley Middle School in the state of New York. 


The town of Warwick has a total population of 32,000 and it is located in the southwest of Orange County, only 70 kms away from New York City and 6 kms away from the New Jersey state border.


The penpal (or penfiend) email exchange is a great way to learn about another culture or language. We are positively sure that both our pupils and Mr. Andrew Sheets' Spanish language students will benefit from this interesting experience. In other words, we believe this might be the beginning of a wonderful friendship.
