Linguistic Area Awards
Recently, we have awarded our most gifted students with MFL as well as their mother tongue in a really gorgeous ceremony inside our little and cozy library. Everything was beautifully arranged with some freshly cut flowers decorating such a memorable moment.
The Head of the Area, Miss García conducted the brief event along with Miss Arcalá, who proudly and happily gave out all the presents and diplomas to our students.
Happy to pose, let me share a picture with my awarded and delighted students of Year 8 and Year 9. Elena Vega got the first prizes in Love Tweet category (both in Spanish and English), while Mercedes Marchal, Lorena Morales and Lara Ballesteros got special mentions in that category too. On the other hand, Lara Ballesteros also obtained a special mention for her Calligram in French. Unfortunately, she could not attend the awards' ceremony and missed the group picture.

Reported Speech. No one said it would be easy....
After a quick video presenting the ceoncept of Reported Speech, let's get on task by revising some grammatical aspects that we need to become proficient in the matter and, then, practise as much as possible to master all the necessary changes like a pro.
Take your time to look at the presentation and take notes if you need.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Theory without practice is not very productive. Here you are a complete page for full practice on statements, questions and commands. Download or copy on your notebook. Happy reporting!

Although still with many parts of the world enduring some kind of lockdown or restrictions, ESO1 is resolved to travel the world no matter what and here I am, trying to help. They will collect some information in a world map about those countries they are interested in explaining some key geographical features as well as the weather. Basically, they are trying to help out for a wise choice and enjoyment for future travellers, whenever that may be possible. You can comment and like their posts.
