WELCOME!! :)

Hello,

My name is Pilar and I am a teacher of English as a Foreign Language.

I decided to create this blog because the time for my class is not enough at school. Here you will find some stuff to practice what you learned, reinforce the content studied at school, have fun, sing along, watch a video, play games...

I hope this blog is appealing for those who visit it. And remember that suggestions are always welcome -thank you!

Have a nice day :-)

Santa's home...

Hello!

We read about Lapland this week and I'd like to leave some photos and a link about it.

Lapland is in the north of Finland, Sweeden and Norway. It's a region with different places to visit and one of them is Santa's house!

In Lapland you can ride snowmobiles, visit a Husky farm, play with the elves on the snow, ride a reindeer sleigh and have lots of fun!

Here you are a link of the website of Lapland http://www.laplandfinland.com/In_English.iw3 and some photos of there... Hope you like it!

And remember to be good girls and boys... Santa has already started his long journey to leave presents for everyone! ;)

Click "movie maker" and then "go". You can choose the scene, the background, the characters... And you write the dialogues! :)

MI REGRESO... ;)

¡¡Hola a todas y a todos!!

¿Cómo están mis niños y mis niñas guapos y guapas? Espero que deseando tenerme de vuelta, a ver si ahora no vais a querer tenerme allí, jaja! ;)

Yo estoy contenta pero también un poco triste al mismo tiempo. Contenta porque vuelvo a casa el sábado, voy a ver otra vez a mi familia, a mis amigas y amigos, a mi perro y mi gata, voy a comer cosas ricas (uhmmm!!), voy a dormir otra vez en mi cama (jeje!) y voy a volver al cole el lunes y ya nos vemos! :) También estoy contenta porque ya mismo es Navidad y me gusta mucho la Navidad, las luces, los villancicos, los Reyes ;)
Sin embargo, estoy triste al mismo tiempo porque tengo que despedirme de todas las personas que he conocido aquí y a las que no sé si volveré a ver algún día... (espero que sí!) y, claro, eso es triste! :( Además me gusta mucho la ciudad de Glasgow y me han encantado todos los sitios que he visitado, pero bueno...

Espero que todo vaya bien y no tenga problemas con mi vuelo de vuelta... El tiempo ha dicho que mañana jueves, el viernes y el sábado va a volver a nevar aquí; así que espero que no pase nada, porque no sé si os habréis enterado de que el aeropuerto de Edimburgo estuvo cerrado una semana hace poco cuando también nevó mucho :$ y tengo amigas que se fueron de aquí una semana más tarde de cuando tenían que haberse ido, porque no podían volar!! Pero bueno, yo no vuelo desde Edimburgo, sino desde Glasgow, que no ha tenido tantos problemas, jaja!

Por cierto, os mandé una postal y nadie ha dicho nada de ella :( ¿Es que no ha llegado? Bueno, espero que os guste lo que os llevo... jeje! ¿Qué será será? Surprise!!!! :p

Pues nada cariñitos, que nos vemos el lunes, vale? Sed más buenos que nunca estos últimos días y despedid bien a la seño Pepa, ok?

Muchos besitos,
Pilar.

Isle of Arran

Hi there!

How are you? I hope you are happy to see me soon again because I'm looking forward to seeing you all! ;)

Yesterday I was on a trip to the Isle of Arran, on the west of Scotland. It is a small island, but very beautiful! You can drive around the island for 5-6 hours and you will see everything, haha!

In order to arrive in the island, first I had a train from Glasgow to a small village called Ardrossan. And then, we went from Ardrossan to Brodick by boat. It was a big ship, white, black and red, similar to the Titanic, haha! There was a café, a restaurant, a room with sofas, toilets, terraces and a room with tables and chairs for people travelling with dogs!

On the island, I saw a castle, I was on the beach, I visited a chocolate factory, a cheese shop... ñam ñam, hehe! I ate a lot yesterday! ;)

Here you are a photo of the island. Hope you like it! See you next Monday 20th of December!!! =)

Kisses,
Pilar.
