English Theater: One-way ticket

As an end-of-the-term activity,  those pupils who were not involved in schools trips went to see the play One-way ticket, by  Moving-On English Theatre Company.  Not only did the pupils understand most of the dialogues but  they also took part in the story by interacting with the actors.
Here you have some of the best moments.

March 8th: International Women´s Day

"International Women's Day has been held on 8 March every year since 1913, and has been recognised by the United Nations since 1975.

The UN says it's a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities.

The theme of this year's day is "Planet 50-50 by 2030" - aiming to achieve global equality in areas such as education and end all forms of discrimination." ( BBC News)

In order to achieve a real equality between men and women, education plays a crucial role. Watch this video about the struggle of a Chadian girl, Fatna, to go to school to have a better life in the future.

 

The British actress Emma Watson, best known as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, is the Goodwill Ambassador for UN Women. In September 2014, she gave a speech at hte UN about gender inequality and how to fight it. Suince then, she has been actively involved in the HeForShe campaign.

The speaker, Mark, talked about the peculiarities that characterise  English -speaking way of life as well as other aspects such as vocabulary o pronunciation, always through humour, games and interaction .
Our pupils were very enthusiastic and listened carefully throughout the talk, answering the questions he asked them and taking part actively in the activities and games he proposed. At the end of the session Mark congratulated on the pupils' extraordinary behaviour and good level of English.
