Halloween: trick or treat?

This site from the British Council challenges you to find all the items in a Haunted House. It has two different levels.

Have fun!

A Haunted House

Modern Foreign Languages

You will have to choose one of the following Modern Foreign Languages next year: (French, Portuguese, Mandarin). Remember the following:

As you progress through your education at school, a modern language will be of benefit to your personal and educational development in a variety of ways. It will allow you to establish contact with people of your own age who speak other languages and to access information from other cultures. It will help you to understand that experience of the world through another language can be just as 'real' and 'valid' as experience of the world through Spanish or English. It will offer you the positive experience of developing an entirely new mode of understanding and expression and an opportunity to acquire an explicit understanding of what the components of language are and how these may be manipulated for different purposes.

Keep in mind that you will have to show commitment at all times throughout the learning process. Good luck in your choice!

Cyberbullying

Kids are spending more and more time on computers and cell phones.

For most kids, these devices offer a fun and fast way to stay in touch with friends and family. Some, however, use e-mail and text messages to bully their peers.

This is the video we watched in class and we reflected upon it altogether.

Now I would like you to watch it with your parents and reflect with them on this issue which is affecting society more and more.

Hard Spell

I challenge you to play this spelling game! It’s from the BBC. You are shown two words and have to identify which one is spelled incorrectly and you play against a timer. It's hard but you can do it! Have fun!
