4th ESO - FLYERS

Students in 4th ESO E and G groups have been working on different projects following the cooperative methodology. 

In 4th E, they have 'travelled' to different English speaking countries - Ireland, Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. They have learnt about their traditions and culture, natural beauties, amazing cities, and delicious cuisine. 

In 4th G, they let their imagination run free and came up with some inventions - the Termo Bed Power and the toaster-fryer.

As the saying goes, an image is worth a thousand words - here are some of the leaflets they created to illustrate the projects.

GINGERBREAD MEN

Gingerbread cookies are popular baked cookies formed out of gingerbread dough (pasta de pan de jengibre); this cookies are commonly associated with the Christmas holiday, and they are often formed into holiday shapes, gingerbread men or gingerbread houses. Although there are several variations on the recipe, classic gingerbread cookies have a distinct, rich flavor of ginger and cinnamon. This recipe is very easy to follow and delicious!

Visiting the Malaga airport and the Aviation Museum

Yesterday, a group of 4th ESO students, together with their teachers, went out of the classroom to learn a bit about the Malaga airport and the history of aviation while they practised English.

Students in the E and G groups had the chance to put their English skills to the test by doing interviews to travellers at Malaga airport. And they did it with flying colours!

Besides, we took an imaginary flight from Malaga to London Gatwick. An Aena guide led us through all the steps preceding takeoff, as well as those following landing.

Meanwhile, students from the A group were visiting the Aviation Museum. Here, they could hop on a plane and see a pilot's cockpit.

It was a great day! We learnt interesting facts about aviation and the Malaga airport. For example, did you know it takes its code - AGP - from the Roman name of the city, Agripina?

a) Share with us any interesting information you learned in the trip, and

b) leave your opinion about the experience.

Thanks, your comments will be of great use for future experiences.
