Leaders in Language November 2016

Hi from very wet Los Naranjos Gandia.  The teachers are all complaining here about the weather.  They say they have never seen anything like it. Sitting in the staff room with my coat on!  Some of the students from the school went to Andorra on Tuesday for a ski-ing trip.  I hope they are ok and are not having to stay in their rooms due to the weather.

All is well here the teachers are all under pressure due to exams coming up and there is a lot of revision going on and tons of teacher talking time!  The school here has a pre - school and goes all the way up to Bach students.  So we get to work with a huge age range, which is very interesting.  Today I started with a 6 primary class doing natural science in English and we did an experiment with celery and dye to observe the way plants take up nutrients. We managed to get to the end of the class without spilling any water.  I was very impressed.  Then I got to work with the Bach students , speaking practice for the mock papers for their Level 3 exam.  After that  I went to the pre-school for a double lesson where Claire does activities using English.  There the children did some colouring, cutting circles and covering them with some foil as part of a winter mural they are doing.  After lunch I am going to do a lesson with 3 Eso and then finally back to 5 primary for the end of the day.  Must go end of lunch break.
