Micropolix Fall 2011

Congratulations to Claudia Pondo!

She received an award for winning in the Europe Day Drawing Competition. The award included free entrances to Micropolix to share with her peers. Needless to say, the children were very happy to be able to go!

Here are some pictures from the day we spent there. Enjoy them!

Love,

Celorio's Letters

About two weeks ago, I asked the children to write letters to the teachers in Celorio. Some of the letters were very creative and fun to read. I mailed the letters and the teachers emailed back thanking the children for the marvelous letters with the following photograph:

Apparently, lovely Aiofe received many letters and Joe was not very happy. :0 Just kidding!

The teachers had a great time reading them and decided to do the same for the children. This past week we received all the wonderful letters from them.

Love,

English Immersion Trip: Llanes, Asturias

To everyone,

Here are the pictures during our week in Celorio. This event was very memorable for all the kids! They had a fantastic week learning many new things like making soap, toothpaste, and even candles. Some of them made new friends and others just had a wonderful time. They enjoyed themselves a lot. :)

I hope you enjoy the video!

Love,

As you know, this year we participated in the 2011 Microfilm Competition. Our school placed 3rd place in the "Most Original Video." The children had a great time and enjoyed themselves at Micropolix. These are the pictures of the event and at the end you will find a copy of the video we would have liked to submit to the evaluation committee.

Final Video

Microfilm Project Finalists!

We made it! All the hard work has paid off. We are currently nominated in the category for "Best Original Video." My students are very excited these news and I am very proud of them. All their hard work and effort is finally being recognized.

I also want to thank the Auxiliares de Conversación and primarily Josué Fernández for their outmost dedication to the Microfilm project. Josué worked very diligently in the writing, filming, and editing in the making of this video to make this happen.

Microfilm Project 2011

This year the Comunidad de Madrid decided to make a microfilm competition among the 5th year bilingual students in the whole Madrid Community. The choice of topic was up to each individual school and the video had to be no longer than 2 minutes. Through a lot of hours of brainstorming and practicing, we finally made our video. It took us one and a half days to film. Our video is about a news channel that receives breaking news of a school that is completely frozen and no one seems to know why this has happened. At the end of the video one of the students discovers how to make the class come back to normal.

The children had so much fun making this video and for them it was a very positive experience. I want to thank all of them for their hardwork and all the effort they put into making this video.

I am very proud of them! :)

Love,

Bea
