INTERNATIONAL FOOD CONTEST

This week in our English class, the students of 1st ESO have participated in an INTERNATIONAL FOOD CONTEST. 

They had to choose a foreign country.

They had to prepare a powerpoint or poster with the basic information of the country. 

They also prepared and cooked a typical recipe of the country. 

We had few days to do some research on the topic in small groups, pairs or individually.

Then the students had to create their recipe.

They cooked it at home.

Finally, they presented the work done with their own stand at the FAIR.

We had some visitors that marked each performance according to these categories:

AUDIOLIBRO: "A Ghost Collection"

GHOST COLLECTION

Los alumnos de 2º ESO A han elaborado en el tercer trimestre un audio-libro de la lectura obligatoria
del curso titulado “A Ghost Collection”.

La actividad se ha llevado a cabo en el mes de abril donde el alumnado, por parejas o en grupos de 3
personas, ha leído los capítulos asignados por la profesora de inglés. Una vez que habían comprendido
la idea general de cada capítulo, el alumnado ha elaborado un resumen del mismo.

A continuación, la profesora ha corregido dichos resúmenes con el fin de que cada grupo de alumnos
pudiera grabar una nota de audio relatando su propio resumen.

Según el alumnado de 2º ESO A, se ha tratado de una actividad muy interactiva en la que han hecho
un uso del inglés dentro de un contexto real y, además, han podido abarcar las 4 destrezas básicas:
lectura del capítulo (Reading), escritura de los resúmenes (Writing), grabación de las notas de audio
(Speaking) y escucha de los resúmenes de los compañeros (Listening).

BOARD GAME by Lars Wagoner

Board games are great, most of us grew up playing them with friends and family,
having fun and enjoying the competitiveness. For these reasons, the English teachers
here at IES Antigua Sexi decided to celebrate a board game day.

To do this language learning activity, each class had to organize how
many games they had and how many students were needed to play.
Students  brought a wide variety of games, ranging from Cluedo to Spyfall.
Once all the groups and games were agreed on, the students were allowed
some time to learn the rules before game day, which was set about a week later. 

Due to the length of most games, only an hour to play properly isn’t enough.
The solution the class agreed on was to spend the recess after class playing as well.

Once game day arrived, everyone eagerly awaited English class.
At the beginning of the period, we set up tables and chairs and all
the students began the fun… in English of course. During the course
of the class, the teacher would walk around and join in on the activities
and help some of the students. In one corner of the room a group of
students were guessing who was the murderer and in another corner a
different group was working together to solve the puzzle. 

All of the students were completely immersed in the activity and had a blast!
It’s a good thing everyone decided to play during recess too, no one wanted the fun to end.

To sum up, the students at Antigua Sexi got to enjoy a few board games
and test their English skills with friends and classmates, we all had an amazing time!

Some of the games implemented were:

IKONIKUS

MYSTERIUM

CLUEDO

CODENAMES

THE FORBIDDEN ISLAND

THE GLOOM

THE WEREWOLVES
