THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! I have really enjoyed the Halloween lessons with you!!!
In 2nd A, we had a great time with Michael Jackson and Thriller, but problably the most memorable moment was my heel breaking the teacher's chair!!! Let's forget about it.
With regard to 2º B, you haven't let me down and you have done a really good job!!! I asked you to bring something related to Halloween to the classroom but I never thought you would answer in such a way!!! Excellent!!! And now,as I promised, it is time for rewards.
Gabriel, Teresa and Alicia: Your sandwiches were deliciuos, but even more than that: they were perfect!!! And your punch??? It has really impressed me and my pupils in 3rd eso have

drunk it up!!! I know you have worked a lot and you were really enthusiastic. Thanks a lot for sharing my enthusiasm. You are great. I am going to give you 75 stars.
Alba and Mari Carmen: How can I define your cake??? Yummy... Mmmmmm... So delicious... As a proof of it the fact that we have eaten it up in 0'2.

MORE HALLOWEEN STARS. RIDDLES AND RHYMES.

Halloween is so close now... I want to be sure you know all the typical Halloween creatures. Do you think you can solve these riddles??? But be careful because if you make a mistake, a curse will be put on you. Har har har. THIS IS HALLOWEEN!!!
WHO AM I?
1. I was wrapped in white and buried in my tomb a long time ago. Now, I wait in the dark with my golden treasures all around. Outside the sand piles high over top my tomb.
2. I am a monster that has been on a diet. There is no fat on me! Or muscle either! You might say that I am all skin and bones --without the skin. I rattle when I walk. And my teeth chatter when I talk.
3. Welcome! Have a seat. Dinner will be served shortly. Sorry we don't have any garlic bread. I can't stand it. What am I drinking you ask? Don't worry . . . it's . . um . . . grape juice. Now just relax while I look at your neck.
4. I walk through walls as I please. Sometimes you can see me and sometimes you can't. I moan and I groan. I rattle chains. You find me in old houses, graveyards, and castles.
5. Most of the time, you would never guess I was a monster because I look just like you. But once a month, I let my hair down and howl at the moon. But beware! If I bite you will become like me.
6. Dressed in black, I brew potions, I cast spells, and I put curses on people. If you bother me or my cat, you'll sit on a lily pad and eat flies.

And now some RHYMES. Do you dare??? The curse in this case will be even worse!!!
1. What a witch rides that rhymes with room:
2. Who makes a web and rhymes with wider:
3. A monster with stitches that rhymes with mine.
4. What kids say that rhymes with meat:
5. A monster that rhymes with tummy:
6. A scary thing that rhymes with toast:
7. A witch’s pet that rhymes with rat:

LOVELY GIRL, ISN'T SHE?

Many of you expressed your complaints about your pictures and asked me to upload one of my own picutres as a teenager.

Here is the answer to your demands, but as you can see I was not fourteen in this pictures. I have decided to begin by the very beginning. Har har har.

Now, you have to guess how old I was and of course, you can make your commentaries.

What was I looking at??? Difficult, isn't it?

Time goes by so quickly...

How have you changed?

What can you tell me about those who are not at the school now?

Please, tell me!!!

(Those who are not in the pictures can and must express their opinions as well)

A NEW CHALLENGE!!!

Are you ready for a new challenge? Yes? No? Anyway, I'm posting a new activity for you. This time you are going to pretend you are journalits. Your aim is to obtain information about those teachers you see everyday at the school. There are many of them eager to tell you a lot of things about their lives; others will be more difficult to be questioned. It is up to you!!! You decide the teachers you want to interview.

The rules of this activity are as follows:

1. You have to use English and just English (I'll ask teachers if you questioned them in English before giving you any star)

2. You can work on your own, in pairs or in groups (In case you work in groups or in pairs the number of stars will be divided among the members of the group)

3. The information obtained can be posted here in the blog or you can hand it to me.

4. The more information you get, the better. (Juicy information will be highly rewarded)

5. This is the basic information you have to obtain. (You have build the questions from these topics)

- General information: age, date of birth, place of birth, marital status, place of residence...

- Time he/ she has been teaching

- Previous jobs

- What he/she likes and doesn't like about teaching.

- Free time activities

- Favourite book

- Favourite song

- Favourite film

- Favourite place

- How he/she relaxes

- Countries he/she has visited

- Hopes, desires for the future

- Something he/she hates

- Something he/she really loves

ETC...

And that's all. Now, it is your turn. Try to surprise me. Maybe you are great reporters and in some years time I see you on TV. Who knows?

WHO ARE THEY???

More pictures, but this time they are not your classmates, but they are ... TEACHERSSSSSSS!!!!!!! I know you are going to wet yourselves.
Try to discover the teachers and I'll give you more stars. You can also add your comments about these handsome teachers, and of course there are pretty teachers as well. Har har har
The competition is even more hard-fought than last year so, give your answers without wasting a minute. Good Luck!!!
