El pasado día 16 de diciembre, el 3º Ciclo de Educación Primaria realizó una visita a la maravillosa población de Mojácar (Almería). Allí, los/as alumnos/as disfrutaron del buen clima y de la hospitalidad de sus habitantes. Los maestros de lengua extranjera, en colaboración con la Oficina de Turismo de la localidad, organizaron una actividad basada en el desarrollo de las destrezas orales. De esta forma, y con mucho entusiasmo, los alumnos pusieron en práctica lo trabajado en clase de Inglés para realizar entrevistas a las personas de habla inglesa que colaboraron, voluntariamente en la actividad. La emoción de todos los participantes facilitaron el buen clima y el contacto de los escolares con la lengua inglesa en un entorno cercano, en un contexto real y conocer y apreciar las costumbres, culturas y formas de vida en países distintas al propio. El CEIP Las Lomas quiere agradecer a la Oficina de Turismo de Mojácar (en especial a Silvia y Carmen), a Lilian (artista de la Galería de Arte) y a Lenox y Bárbara (un matrimonio encantador) que siempre estuvieron a nuestra disposición.
Los alumnos/as estuvieron practicando en clase preguntas para recabar información personal (name, age, nationality, free time activities…) Gracias al entusiasmo que se puso en la actividad, los alumnos ampliaron las preguntas que principalmente se habían fijado con vocabulario reciclado de cursos anteriores. Con la información recogida en las entrevistas, los alumnos/as realizarán un trabajo sobre información personal de los entrevistados.

Last 16th December, the 3rd Cycle of Primary Education went to the wonderful town of Mojácar (Almería). There, students enjoyed the good climate and the hospitality of its inhabitants. The foreign language teachers, in collaboration with the Tourist Office of the locality, organized an activity in which the main purpose was the development of oral skills. In this way, students put into practice what they worked in English class for interviewing people who collaborated in the activity. The excitement of all, as well as the participants involved, provided the good climate and put school children in contact with the English language in a close environment and in a real context and they knew and appreciated the customs, cultures and ways of living in countries different of them. CEIP Las Lomas would like to thank the Office of tourism of Mojácar (especially to Silvia and Carmen), Lilian (an artist working in the art gallery) and Lenox and Barbara (a lovely marriage) who were always available to us.
The students were practicing in class questions to collect personal information (name, age, nationality, free time activities…) Thanks to the enthusiasm that was put into the activity, students extended questions which were mainly fixed with recycled vocabulary of previous levels. Using the information collected in the interviews, pupils will carry out a work on personal information of the interviewed.

Here you are a Christmas Carol. I hope you like it. Rudolph the Red-nosed reindeer is the ninth reindeer carrying the sleigh and is also Santa’s favourite. Rudolph is known for his shiny nose which was at first an element of mockery. The nose is so bright that it can illuminate the entire sky thus allowing the sleigh to stay the course no matter what the weather is.

You know Dasher and Dancer
Rudolph, with your nose so bright 
The day of New Year’s Eve, 31st December, is celebrated in a particular way: when the clock strikes twelve, Spanish people eat one grape for each sounding of the bell that, according to the tradition, guarantees 12 months of prosperity. 
The more common traditions include incredibly elaborate "Nacimiento" (nativity scenes), Christmas trees, flowers, marzipan and other sweets, candles, decorations and hand-made Christmas gifts. 
He is very affectionate, because he gives me a lot of kisses with his tiny mouth. He likes to be stroke. He eats prepared animal food, but he likes very much carrots and its leaves. He also loves to eat hay. As all rodents do, he likes to run and jump during the night and sleep during the day.
