JANUARY'S COUPLE (ENGLISH CLASS)

As you know, I don't like couples, that is, I prefer individual desks. However, as during first term you have been so good students, I have accepted your proposal of being in pairs this term. January's couple is...
ROCÍO ALCÓN AND BORJA LÓPEZ
Because they have improved a lot together, they participate a lot and they are so motivated!!!!

SIMPLE PRESENT

SIMPLE PAST

HI BOYS AND GIRLS!!!

MATH TALES

Hannah Montana had three concerts in one day. She had 333 fans in the audience in each concert that day. One hundred and eleven of those fans were male. What fraction were female?

Willy Wonka was five when his Dad brought an evil oompaloompa home to the chocolate factory. The evil oompaloompa ate three chocolate bars, ten bags of jelly beans and five gumdrops. The next day, the Wicked Witch of the West visited the chocolate factory and ate twenty cotton candies, four gobstoppers and two jawbreakers. The evil oompaloompas and the wicked witch of the west meet up. Who ate more? What is the total amount of candy they ate?

The previous texts are called Math Tales. These are short stories with a problem to solve. What I suggest you to do is to write a funny math story with a simple problem to solve. Use negative numbers and negative situations (ex. Temperatures below zero, loans, money, debts, lifts…). Work in pairs. Include your names and stories as a comment, and, of course, solve your problem!

You can see more examples in http://mathtales.ca/stories.html



USEFUL VOCABULARY:

Below zero: bajo cero

Loan: préstamo

Credit: crédito

Steal, rob: robar

Lose: perder

Debt: deuda

Go down, decrease: bajar, descender

Go up, increase: subir, aumentar

Climb: escalar

Peak: cima, pico

lift: ascensor

basement: sótano




Enjoy it!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

Hi guys

I do appreciate the comments you've made about my work. It's very rewarding and challenging for me. I'm really impressed by the way you're improving your English as well. I'll post more useful things on the blog very soon.

Keep up the good work!!!

MELODY AND HARMONY

Hi guys, how are you doing?

Given that, in two weeks' time or so, you'll take a test on Unit 3, I've prepared a summary of the main concepts we've been studying concerning melody and harmony. I've put all the stuff in simpler terms so as to help you review before the exam.

I hope you'll find it interesting and useful. I'm sure you all are going to get good marks.

Take care

Flor

New year resolutions

We are beginning a new year, so the youngest students of the Section have made some New Year resolutions. Here you can see one of them. Do you want to add any more?

NEGATIVE NUMBERS REVIEW

Hi boys and girls of 1º ESO,

I suggest you to visit this web site as a review of UNIT 4, Integers:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks3bitesize/maths/number/negative_numbers/revise1.shtml

I think it may help you with examples and funny activities. You can read explanations, see interesting videos and practice with exercises in the last part called "test". It may be very easy for you!

I love that page, what do you think? Let me know in your comments...

Cheers,

ALICIA

MODAL VERBS

During last week, with the 2nd ESO students, we have been working on Modal Verbs. I want you to have a look to these two websites. In the first one, you have got a summary of Modal Verbs and, in the second one, you can do lots of exercises.

HAVE A GOOD SUNDAY!!!
