Easter activities

Well, again... more activities and so more pictures. This time adult classes at Martinho Árias - monitored by teachers Claudia Soares and António Paiva - worked together to prepare something nice for the forthcoming Easter. Have a look at the video to see what it might be.

Earth Hour 2009

According to WWF, over 2,800 cities and towns in more than 80 countries supported the event last Saturday 28th. Indeed, many landmarks worldwide took part and went dark for 1 hour. WWF hopes this public support will convince governments across the world to agree to take effective action to tackle climate change.
I just hope you really switched your lights off to show our leaders you DO care about the environment!!! Ours is a small planet but the ONLY ONE we've got...

Earth Hour 2009

Dear all,

I'm sure you have often wondered what you could do about global warming.

The environment definitely concerns us all and should be preserved but the truth is that profit has always been the top issue ever since the industrial revolution...

So, why not show your commitment to the environmental cause and join the movement Earth Hour 2009?

Here follows the challenge: wherever you are on SATURDAY 28TH MARCH AT 8.30PM LOCAL TIME, TURN YOUR LIGHTS OFF FOR AN HOUR and take part in this global event, which seeks to ignite a new call for action on climate change around the world.

Expolingua

Hi, there!
As I said in my last post, off we went to Lisbon on the fifth March to visit Expolingua, to participate in a theatre performance and for a German class that Goethe Institut - Lissabon had prepared for our ninth graders. As for the adults, they went to Museu da Presidência in the afternoon.
After having read your comments and listened to both youngsters and adults, I was pleased to know that all that a nice time. It is not easy to plan activities /school trips that involve foreign languages... anyway, you enjoyed it, laughed, learned something and, yes, the truth must be said loud and clear: you were very well-behaved students. What else could I possibly want???
One thing I promise you all: I read your suggestions and will certainly take them into account. Sooner or later, other activities will come up and you will be invited to join in!
As for the questionnaires on Expolingua... there are prizes for the winners and they are:

9ºA - Catarina Rolo + João Tiago Fernandes
9ºB - Joana Gonçalves
9ºC - Joana Matias
9ºE - Mariana Silva

I wouldn't like to finish though without a "thank you" word to all the teachers who took part in this activity.
Keep on the good work!!!
