NOT ONLY... BUT ALSO...

BACK FROM THE 'ENGLISH WEEK' AT OS PEARES

Today the 25 students from 'Rafael Dieste' have already come back from their lingustic immersion "English Week" at Os Peares.

During their last day yesterday, they presented the projects they had been working on throughout the week on the topic of the environment and the 3R (reduce, reuse & recycle).

The last thing we've got to say is congratulate all the students that have taken part in this activity for their good attitude and involvement during the whole week and our thanks to the attending teacher (Leticia Ogando) and the staff at the residence.

CONFUSING GET & ARRIVE

CONFUSING: THERE / THEIR / THEY'RE

WHAT'S YOUR LOOK?

Teenagers like to express their identity they do this by choosing 'a look'

They are free to do this, they don't like to be the same as everyone else.

They often grow out of this phase and dress more conventional.

Our school has been selected to take part in the "ENGLISH WEEK", a language immersion activity for 3rd ESO students to practice and improve their oral skills in English with the help of native teachers.

The activity organized by the Consellería de Educación, takes place between the 10th and the 16th of November at the residential area in Os Peares (Ourense). 25 of our 3rd ESO students will be  off today, accompanied by one of our Physical Education teachers, Leticia Ogando.
