We are already missing Alex, our conversational assistant!!!

Alex is leaving us and we will miss her dearly. She was a tremendous asset to our Bilingual Program, we wish her well in the next chapter of her life.

These are the promotional videos of Vilanova de Arousa that the students recorded. The sound wasn´t very good. But I think the final product came out very nice. Thanks to all of you for the hard work!!!

In this video we have Cristina and Sara performing.

Recording around Vilanova de Arousa!

Even though we arrived very tired when we finished the recording of our promotional videos of Vilanova de Arousa, I think it was worth while. The students worked very hard to prepare, study and perform in front of the cameras. I hope I can upload them later on. They are wonderful!

Here is a picture of the participants in front of the house of a very important writer born in Vilanova de Arousa, Valle-Inclán.

Hello guys!

DIFFERENT WAYS TO MULTIPLYING

Activity to work in pairs Here there are 5 videos with math´s techniques to multiplying. The activity consists on following next steps:

1. You have to look at your video and try to understand it.


2. Make a list with the main vocabulary and its translation. (At least 10 words)


3. Publish a comment with that list and a summary of your video.


4. Write the dialogue that you are going to use in order to explain the trick to the class. Publish it as a comment.


5. Explain the trick to the class, including an example and an exercise that every student will do.

These are the pairs, with their video:

• Alba and Tania: VIDEO 1: TWO-DIGITS MULTIPLICATION http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rf3_36a9MWc&feature=related


• Cristina and Sara: VIDEO 2: MULTIPLYING "LIKE NUMBERS" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWAqi9Yzksk
  
• Celia and Noemí: VIDEO 3: THREE-DIGIT MULTIPLICATION http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nktG9GJtwWk&feature=related


• Alvaro and Manuel: VIDEO 4: CHINESE MULTIPLICATION http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maRN2fUOF0o&feature=related


• Diego and Luis: VIDEO 5: VISUAL TECHNIQUE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6n8hKpLaWMI&feature=related

The Bilingual students had to prepare and record their own videos as a class activity in order to put into practice vocabulary and expressions related to everyday situations. The videos had to do with dialogues in restaurants or shopping centers.

The objectives of this activity were the following:
1. Work with new vocabulary and phrases and use them orally.
2. Be able to communicate in everyday situations in London.
3. Improve their oral skills. Our conversational assistant was of great help, pulling the students from their regular class and helping them with their pronunciation.

How exciting!!

In a couple of weeks our Bilingual Students will be in London!

Thanks a lot to our teachers Begoña Bugía and Diego Abarca for travelling with the Bilingual students. Thank you also to all the Bilingual students who have worked very hard to earn money for the trip.

Check out the itenerary they will follow at the bottom of the page.

We encourage our students to have fun and learn during the process!!

Dear students, teachers and parents:

Welcome to our Bilingual Section at I.E.S. Faro das Lúas!

We are very excited because our students are applying themselves very hard to study English and learn about the cultures of those countries where English is spoken.

Thank you to our Math teacher María Sanmiguel and our Technology teacher Diego Abarca. They make the subjects they teach very interesting and easy to learn.

We are also very happy to count on our teacher Alex Headley this year. She came from the United States with fresh ideas and enthusiasm! Our students love her!
