RAÚL IONUT AND IVAN ORTEGA, TWO OF THE BIG CHALLENGE WINNERS

Raúl and Iván - great contestants
This morning we took a photo of these two students, who couldn't come to pick up their prizes last Thursday. It's not the first time they do great in this English competition. Raúl, who currently studies 3ºESO, already got first position in 1ºESO and scored second in 2ºESO; this year he has been first of his level again! "I'd love to do that myself in the future," says Iván, who exactly like Raúl was first in 1ºESO and second in 2ºESO, his present year. Will he be able to be the first one next year when he studies 3ºESO? He will try to do so, but he will have other good competitors, such as Eloy, this year's winner, Judith -who got the third position- or who knows, maybe someone else will surprise us all and be the best in the whole province!

LINGUISTIC EXCHANGE BETWEEN GOSLAR AND YEPES

From the19th to 24th of May, 17 of our students were involved in a linguistic and cultural exchange with 16 students from Goslar (Germany). It was quite an intense experience, which encouraged them to use English as a vehicle of communication.
During this week, apart from spending time at home with the family, all the students took part in a variety of activities. For example, they went on some excursions together (Toledo, Cantera Lafarge, Aranjuez), and the German students could also enjoy one day in Madrid, visiting El Prado and an exhibition of Pixar Productions.

BERTIE: The play was FUNtastic!

We all had a great time last Monday at Yepes' Cultural Centre. Both students and teachers who saw the play share the opinion that it was fun.

MY FAVOURITE PART OF THE PLAY WAS
WHEN...

- "...Bertie was dreaming, because he was very funny"  (Paola - 2ºA)


- "...the play in general was funny, because it was a comedy, but my favourite part was when José began to dance. He made me laugh a lot!" (Cristina - 2ºA)

- "...at the restaurant and at the market"
(Robert - 2ºA)

- "...when José and Bertie's mother get married. I loved the play. I had a great morning!"
(María - 2ºC)

- "...when José dressed up as a flamenco dancer" (Víctor - 2ºC)

- "...when Bertie discovered that Rosa was his neighbour" (Pablo- 2ºC)

- "...when Rosa danced flamenco; and my favourite character was José, because he was very funny and crazy" (Javier C.- 2ºC)

- "...when José and Mrs Britt fell in love at the restaurant"  (Eva - 2ºC)

THE 2014 EDITION OF THE BIG CHALLENGE

"What number should you ring to call an ambulance if you are in London?" "How many people live in London?" "Where does the largest European ethnic group in the US come from?" "How old is the Stonehenge?"
If you have taken part in this year's edition of The Big Challenge you have probably answered questions similar to these ones and some others which have not been so difficult.
Next Monday, 2nd of June, you will know your specific position in the competition. Will you be one of the winners? You will find out very soon. Check the results in the official website and see how well you scored  at school, province and national levels.
Thank you for participating. Do not forget that even if you do not get one of the best marks, this has been a good experience that has helped you to practise English.

Good luck to you all!  :)
