CHARO PITA & SOPHIE HEYDEL, TODAY @ "RAFAEL DIESTE"

Updating with some photos of Charo Pita & Sophie Heydel today at our assembly hall telling traditional stories in both English & Galician.

Students from 2nd & 1st ESO have been listening to them as a final activity before the Christmas holidays.

So now that the holidays have started, enjoy them!

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to everyone!

STORYTELLING @ "RAFAEL DIESTE" WITH CHARO PITA & SOPHIE HEYDEL

An old friend of ours is back to visit us, Charo Pita, but this time not with her all-time partner Tim Bowley, as in previous occasions (check on Storytelling tab). Now she's accompanied by Sophie Heydel, a London Guildhall School of Music & Drama actress. They'll be visiting us on our last school day before the Christmas holidays to tell the same story in two versions English & Galician to 1st & 2nd year ESO students.

Here are the spelling rules for -ING forms.

OUR OWN 2016 SUFFRAGETTES & A BOBBY @ "RAFAEL DIESTE" [7th CW]

At our 7th Cultural Week, IES "Rafael Dieste" is proud to present our own 2016 version of the British Suffragettes. 

After having worked on the topic in the different classes, this movement is going to have its representation during one of the parades of pioneers characters due tomorrow. 

Today and tomorrow Wednesday there will be "Pioneer Parades", where different pioneer characters will be played by our school students:

- Today Tuesday is devoted to pioneer characters from VIII century B.C. to the XVIII century.

- Tomorrow Wednesday will be about pioneer characters from the XIX & XX centuries. In this parade, girl students from 2ºESO-C Irene BLANCO, Paula REY & Cielo MARÍÑEZ  (in the photo above) will play the role of the British Suffragettes (Emmerline Pankhurst, Emily Davison...) They will be accompanied by Carlos GALÁN (in the photo below) who'll be playing the role of a policeman (bobby).
(Update: At the end of this post below, you can watch the video of their performance).

They'll come rushing down the assembly hall, shouting out:
"VOTES FOR WOMEN!" 

and later pronounce some of their most famous quotes:

Paula: 
"We're in every home, we're half the human race, you can't stop us all. We will win"

Cielo: 
"We break windows, we burn things 'cause war is the only language men listen to".

Irene: 
"We do not want to be law-breakers. We want to be law-makers".

The three together: 
"...And never surrender. Never give up the fight. We will win".

Below you can watch their performance pronouncing these words:

At the final countdown to our 7th Cultural week on the topic of "PIONEER CHARACTERS", we want to show you how all your work has ended up into:

"THE PIONEER FILES".

These photos show you the final result of all your biographies. In the end 21 biographies have been selected from the corrected versions that were handed in at 2ºESO-C and 1ºBACs classes. Twenty one biographies of people who have been the first at something throughout time.

A second part of the project was preparing the 20 questions of the "PIONEERS CHALLENGE QUIZ", which are also included at the end of the files. The questions are based on the ones made by students from 2ºESO-C.

Both, all the 21 biographies together with a slide and the 20 questions will be appearing on following posts in this blog in the next days, so that you can search the answers carefully. And also from Monday, they'll be exhibited in front of the school's library. (Photos included below).

Remember you can take part in the challenge quiz by posting your ballot-paper (with your name, course/group + the 20 answers) in the box at the exhibition or handing it in to your English teacher.
