See you Ian!

 Dear friends,

Ian, our language assistant, finished his great collaboration in our high school last week. Students have learnt a lot about him for these 4 months, about his culture in Texas and mainly, they have practiced a lot improving all their skills. Most students in year 4 got their B1 certificate in the School of Languages, so we must thank him for all his work and attention during his period here. 

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

..and we wish you the best for the future.

Jobshadowing English as a Foreing Language lessons at Lycée Jules Verne - Erasmus + KA 101

 Dear friends,

Our English teachers are coming back form their job shadowing experience in France. They were observing English lessons at the Lycée and were discovering about their way of developing their Upper Secondary School system. 

Their schedule there was the following one: 

 

Monday 18th April: Arrival at Paris airport. 

   Tuesday 19th April:                           

 Arrival at Lycée Jules Verne at 9:00. The French coordinator prepared a guided tour of the school and talked about the school system there. 

 Then, the teachers job shadowed a very interesting class in the English contemporary world with the teacher Ophelie Baillière. In it, students discovered USA and UK university system by means of a Who wants to be a millionaire? quiz and then, a reading comprehension activity in groups. At 12: 00 they had lunch in the school canteen. 

 Later, they went back to lessons, this time to an amazing literature lesson about Jane Eyre with the Terminal students (2n bach equivalent). They reflected on the book, anaysing some chapters and answering questions about them. Then, a few students practiced their presentation for a final oral test in the English language taking place in June. 

 Finally, our teachers had the oppotunity to interview the person in charge of "the school life", Frédéric Vaiani, a very lively man, full of strength to cope with the current issues that affect 

teens´ life at school.

                

Wednesday 20th April:

It was a very sunny day to discover and enjoy some of the most interesting English Foreign Language bookshops in Paris. 

Shakespeare and Company bookshop.

We would like to highlight the Shakespeare and Company bookshop. Amazing bookshop! We bought a Shakespeare book for the school library!

Thursday 21st April:

Arrival at Lycée Jules Verne at 9:00. The teachers attended Laurance Altibelli Year 13 EFL lesson. Students were developing a listening activity about  how Britain is dealing with its identity crisis. In it, students listening to the audio three times had to summarize the main ideas in their own language, French. Then, they had to say them individually in front of the class, so the teacher could evaluate their speaking and their capacity of synthesis.

After this lesson, our teachers attended a Year 12 (1st Bach) students literature lesson, led by Sophie Laubier. It was a very interesting lesson about the comparison between the book Of mice and men, written by Steinbeck and the movie. Students took an active role in the class and were commenting the previous homework activity as they were film critics. 

Finally in the morning, the last lesson was with Laurence Altibelli again but this time with year 11 students, the youngest at school. In this EFL lesson students were watching a video about the Super Bowl and had to create a mind map on their notebooks or tablets and then, present a summary of the video main ideas in front of the class again. Here, the teacher was evaluated their speaking skills, whose goal is to get the B1 level in English.

In the afternoon the teachers carried out a Treasure Hunt around the city of Limours to explore their town center and touristic attractions by means of an app called Action bound.

It was very entertaining and curious.

Friday 22nd April:

Our teachers went back to Spain. They arrived full of energy and ideas to share with the school community.

Saint Patrick's Day

On the 17th March 1st ESO students celebrated Saint Patrick's Day. This is a day for huge celebrations in Ireland. Irish people all over the world celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in honour of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.

The shamrock is a symbol of Ireland. In this activity, students create a four-leaf clover.  On each leaf, students write something that makes them lucky.  Then, they decorated the walls of the class. They had great fun!.
