Happy Halloween!



JACK-O'-LANTERN
In English-speaking countries, 31st October is the day children look forward to, with their costumes ready for their door-to-door trick-or-treating. But it's also very traditional to make a Jack-o'-lantern around this date.

To prepare your pumpkin, first clean and dry it. Cut a small circle around the stem and remove the top. Dig in and remove the seeds and soft flesh from inside the pumpkin, leaving a thick wall of flesh inside the skin. Scrape the inside until you have a firm and fairly smooth surface all round, and a flat base where you will stand a candle - short and fat candles are perfect!. 
 You are now ready to carve the face onto the pumpkin. 
Here you have some examples:




Besides that, here you have an easy sandwich to make for this special day!

JACK-O'-LANTERN TOAST
You need:
  • sliced white bread
  • slices of cheese
  • a toaster
Take two slices of bread and a slice of cheese for them to make a sandwich. Previosly cut out eyes and a mouth in one of the slices. Toast the sandwiches and eat them while still warm. Delicious!

After that delicious recipe, you can dance with this funny skeleton

Activities on line

Dear all! 
Another academic year moves to open new activities on line. Why? 
Because children have changed their level. So, don't worry if you can't use  the activities on  your left. They do not work until we introduce all the students in the publisher's web. 
Children will have new username and password and you will receive them  in your parents' meeting. 
Teachers will explain how parents can become involved in the English bloc and also in the activites on line. 

See you on Monday !
