EUROVISION SONG CONTEST 2012

Here you are one of my favourite songs for the next Eurovision Song Contest 2012. The singer is Ivi Adamou from Cyprus and her song "LA LA LA LOVE". Good luck dear!!!

The Eurovision Song Contest 2012 will be the 57th annual Eurovision Song Contest. It will be held in Baku, Azerbaijan, following Azerbaijan's win in the 2011 Contest with Eldar & Nigar's song "Running Scared". The two semi-finals will be held on 22 May and 24 May 2012, and the final on 26 May 2012. Ten countries from  each semi-final will qualify for the final and will be joined by Azerbaijan, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. Forty-two countries have announced their participation in the contest, with Montenegro returning, having last taken part in 2009, with Poland and Armenia withdrawing.

SCHOOL TRIP TO LOS MILLARES, ALMERÍA

Today, Wednesday 14, students 3rd Cycle (5th and 6th Level of Primary Education) and teachers have visited Los Millares. It deals with our School Project (Centro de Interés): “Una mirada a la Prehistoria” “Looking at the Prehistory” Students liked this School trip and got fun remembering what they learnt in their lessons with their teachers. But, what are “Los Millares”? Have a look at the pictures and read the brief article. Regards, Christopher.

Los Millares is the name of a Chalcolithic occupation site 17 km north of Almería, in the municipality of Santa Fe de Mondújar, Andalusia, Spain. The complex was in use from the end of the fourth millennium to the end of the second millennium before Christ and probably supported somewhere around 1000 people. It was discovered in 1891 during the course of the construction of a railway and was first excavated by Luis Siret in the succeeding years. Further excavation work continues today. The 5 acre (2ha) site consists of three concentric lines of stone walls, the outer ring the largest, running more than 650 feet with nineteen 'bastions' and a gate guarded by foreworks. The road to the site is guarded by four smaller outlying stone forts. There is an extensive cemetery of eighty passage grave tombs.

PEOPLE FROM THE PAST - PAST SIMPLE

Who was Andersen? And Cleopatra? This is the starting point of our Project “People from the past”. Students (6^th level) will investigate about people from the past and then, they will have to do a brief summary of their lives. Why were they important for? What did they do? It deals with the grammar (past simple) they are learning about.

They can use the following links for the research:

UNIT 7 - WATER

Here you are a video related to our topic: Water. This video belongs to Montepinar School in Murcia (many thanks) with audio in order to help you with the proper pronunciation of the items. 

Remember:

• There is water in seas, rivers, lakes and springs.
• Clouds are formed from drops of water. Rain falls from clouds.
• Water is necessary for life. Don't waste or pollute water.

Enjoy learning!!!! Regards, Christopher.
