Welcome again

Hello, everybody!

We are back again.

Happy Fall and good luck for this new Academic Year 2014-2015

In our first two weeks we have met each other and we have done mainly oral activities to get to know each other.

We have talked about our names, dates of birth, horoscopes, our best friend´s or member of the family´s birthday and we have also discussed and agreed in what to do when we have to face negative behaviour.

We have also stated who wants to go to extracurricular activities, such as Theatre, Music Show or a one-week trip to Ireland.

Keep in touch and be an active and productive member of our community!

Enjoy and let the others do it too.

Be respectful, tolerant and generous.
