Jingle bells, Jingle bells, jingle all the way...

Finally I have internet again and just in time for the Christmas mayhem (scared face)!

After weeks of pestering "are we making the cookies today? Are we making the cookies today?"  I have finally caved in and baked them this morning with a test cookie or two of course ;)


We've been busy making our own Christmas tree too...cut...cut...colour...


More photos to come of that later today :) and some how tos of our Christmas projects this year.

I'll keep you posted and let us know your Christmas plans or projects too.

Jamie ... Jordan English Weatherman!

Jamie has been a very busy little bee all weekend compiling our weekly weather forecast ...... How's the weather today? It's raining ... it's cloudy ..... It's very tiring work, so he's having a little siesta!  Forecasting the weather is soooooo exhausting ... YAWN!!!

Here we go round the mulberry bush...

On a cold and frosty morning :( Yes, it's almost June and it's cold (grumpy face).

But... Happy Monday everyone!

Only 5 weeks left and even less for my babies doing the FCE exam on the 7th June :O fingers crossed!!!!

Operation bikini is in full force over here, just in case the sun ever decides to return. Any tips are welcome by the way!


Cue Jamie Jordan our resident weather man reading the forecast...

On Monday it's raining and cloudy

On Tuesday it's raining and cloudy...

You can guess the rest.


Photos to come later of our weather man.


Enjoy your day

Happy Wednesday!

Woohoo Wednesday is here and it's my favourite day of the week! :)

We are planning, planning and planning here, so many ideas for fun things!

I just made a great DVD of some classic children's songs to sing later, or now...

"Five little speckled frogs, sat on a speckled log, eating the most delicious bugs, yum, yum..."



Please let these replace '10 green bottles', because unless they are wine bottles, I am going to go mad if I hear that song one more time! 

Bottoms up! LOL

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Happy Monday!

Hi Everyone!

We just realised there are only 3 weeks left until our students do the Cambridge First exam in June argghhh! Nerve-racking, I hope everyone does well, cross everything!

congratulations to our students Marta and Alvaro, who did the PET on Saturday last weekend, I'm sure you guys are going to pass without a doubt!

We've finished our fishy project now, lol. Now, we are just reviewing everything before summer (6 weeks and counting!), although I have no doubt that everyone will forget everything by the time they come back in September again.

Remember we have a summer course - sing with me...Jordan English, Jordan English, fun in English everyday, fun in English in every way!

Enjoy your week and don't forget to let us know about summer or next course!

We're half way there, woohoo living on a prayer!

LOL happy Wednesday! Our under the sea project is looking good...


Thankfully no one has been stung by a jellyfish yet, despite various attempts :O

We now have a school of dolphins at the academy too, sign yours up for learning English! 

We also have some starfish and I think we might be adding sea sponges to the mixture after watching Sponge Bob collecting jellyfish...



On a different note we also have martial arts classes in English for kids and adults, classes have very limited places so sign up asap for now or the next course!


Enjoy the rest of your week!

How to make fish!

Welcome to our under the sea theme :) I can hear the Ariel the little mermaid song in my head right now!


First of all, you will need:

  • paper toilet rolls
  • pens, paint, crayons or something for colouring
  • scissors
  • googly eyes (optional)



Next, fold the toilet roll so it's flat.


Then, cut around one of the ends so it is rounded and cut two diagonal slits close to the other end but do not cut all the way inside (see photo below).


After this, fold the two'triangles' inside the fish so you are just left with a body and a tail, see below.


Finally, colour/paint the fish to your heart's content  and then glue/stick on (opps I forgot to mention you might need glue!) the google eye. One or both sides is okay depending on how you wish to display your fish.

Repeat the process for every child and you will end up with something like this!


This week we are also going to make jellyfish to add to our display and who knows what else might be lurking under the sea! ;)

Enjoy your week

xoxoxox


P.S. please feel free to share any of your ideas for under the sea worksheets or art and crafts!




Monday 5 May 2014

Back to work!

I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend or at least the day off on Thursday...It was sunny too!

We have lots of fun planned for this month and some stressful things to like exams :( I hope my students are going to do well in the PET exam!!!! Fingers crossed...

What did everyone get for their mother? I hope you all spoiled her!


Stay tuned for another 'how to' soon, I found a cool idea this morning, think...Finding Nemo :)

Happy Monday!

Reminders...

Good morning everyone!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend? My weather app seems to be on strike today, obviously it's fed up of this ridiculous weather system too (angry face)...

Remember, this week is a short week because we are closed on Thursday for the public holiday (labour day) woohoo! We've only just come back from Easter and I need a break already, crazy!

Furthermore, don't forget this is the last week to matricula for the next course 2014-2015 and then we are going to open it to newbies :)

Finally, we will be having our summer school in July too, so please ask us about it asap we have lots of cool ideas and fun and games planned!

Hi! 

I hope everyone is enjoying their first week back here after the Easter hols! Finally the sun has returned to Lugo for a little while today but it's impossible to know what to wear! Dressing like an onion (without the smell though) is very difficult. A good piece of advice from one of our advanced students was to wear something light but with a good coat, so far this seems to work well :)

I think this last term is going to fly by around 8 weeks depending...but I just realised next week is a short week too. Finally we have a long weekend because labour day is on a Thursday (also our longest day) which is the first one all this academic year.

Enjoy the rest of your week and if anyone wants to share any of their Easter holiday stories please tell us!

xoxoxo

Monday 21 April 2014

Happy Monday!

Hi Everyone! 

I hope you all enjoyed your hols and rested welll??? It's back to the workhouse now, so I hope you're all ready to poner las pilas :)

It's going to be a super busy last term with people preparing for exams and kids going wild before the summer holidays, start drinking cafe cargado (extra strong coffee) because it's going to be a bumpy ride!

See you soon!

PenPal Frenzy!

Here's a brief catch up because these last 2 weeks have been crazy!

First, we got our letters from New Zealand and our students went crazy, I mean seriously, I think I am deaf in one ear now from the screams!

We are writing our responses this week :)



Hopefully we are going to post them on Friday (fingers crossed), this time we even have little gifts for our Kiwi friends and photos!
