Why the strike tomorrow?

Here is the explanation, a group of teachers and pupils from a public school have created this wonderful video to explain the cuts we are having and the results of them.

A teacher sings

The singer is a professor of chemistry at the Cartagena Technical University, and has a rock band. She's the girl who came to the school to give our 4th ESO students a sexual orientation talk. José Luis is entering a contest to play at the SOS, his video is great. You can vote for it from Facebook from the link below if you like it.

A new eTwinning project: Enlivening our libraries

We have started a new project on eTwinning, its name "Enlivening our libraries". It is the continuation of our Comenius project that we have carried out over two years, "Reading for travelling through the paths of life", which was intended to encourage reading and make our library a place of meeting with activities which motivate our students to read. Our Department has special interest in participating in this project because it involves using English as a vehicle for communication among the different countries and because we are convinced of the importance of reading to develop not only the language but the knowledge of the different cultures involved. We hope that you, our students, will be interested in this project and participate in the activities that we will be proposing.

Bye, dear Elcano students

My time as a teacher there is over. Thank you very much for helping me to enjoy my job, it has been wonderful to work with you all for these twenty years. You have been the best part of my job, sometimes it has been a challenge to get you motivated but when I got it, you really made me happy.
My new school is IES Mediterráneo and I will be there at your disposal, as usual. It’s exciting to have a new project ahead: after so many years working in the same school.
Remember this is also your blog and I hope you will keep taking part in it whenever you want. It’s always a pleasure to read your comments, they feed the blog and help me to improve it.

Thank you again, my dear students!

Rosanna's recipe

This a recipe Rosanna gave me last week, Victoria sponge cake, I've made it following her instructions and the result was fantastic, I recommend it to you all to celebrate the end of the classes.
Ingredients:
112g of unsalted butter or margarine (I prefer butter)
112g of flour with a teaspoon of baking powder
112g of sugar
2 eggs.
Preheat the oven to 180º. Grease two cake tins (15cm) with butter.
Stir the butter and sugar together. Stir the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the flour with the baking powder. Divide the cake mix into the tins and bake in the oven for around 20 minutes. Allow the cakes to cool slightly, then take them out of the tins to cool completely.
For the filling stir together 50g of butter and 100g of icing sugar. Spread some jam onto one of the cakes and the buttercream on the other, then sanswich them together.
Easy, isn't it?

Relax and amuse yourself!

What can you see in the picture? Me or You?
I'm sure you need to relax after the exams and on the other hand I think you really enjoy optical illusions, that's why I propose you this link I found in Inés workshop and I hope you have fun with them. You can also click on the image to go there.
