ESO/BATX This week, we did some experiments with the 3rd ESO. We went to the laboratory and practiced how to make a scientific precise solution of sodium chloride (or in simple terms, we learned how scientists make saltwater). The students enjoyed practicing with the various equipment and seeing how laboratory technique is very different from
ESO/BATX This week, I helped out in the 2BAT Chemistry class. We performed an experiment that showed how chemicals can change colour depending on their temperature: cold it is pink, but hot it is dark purple! Primary This week we played games in small groups that reviewed the pronunciation of the current vocabulary in 1st
ESO/BATX This week, the 2BAT students had to play Once Upon a Time. In this game, the students were given two random nouns (orange, casino, moon) and had to continue telling the story I made up.

ESO/BATX The 1ESO and 2ESO students played Taboo to help increase their speaking and vocabulary knowledge. They had to describe words like Police, Chocolate, Birthday without being able to say very obvious clues (like 112, Candy, Born).

ESO/BATX This week in my English for Teachers class, we tried to describe some weird and funny photos. Some of these pictures were made to be funny by the artists; others were once normal actions but now time has made them seem very special; and even others defy explanation. Can you guess what was going
ESO/BATX This week in my English for Teachers class, we played 20 Questions. Here, the teachers were given an unknown person and they had to figure out who they were by asking no more than 20 questions. The teacher’s really enjoyed the change of pace from our usual lessons to something a little more interactive.
ESO/BATX This week we have started to talk about a weird North American tradition: Groundhog Day. The students were shown what a groundhog is and how it builds its underground home called a burrow. We then showed how these animals are used to predict spring: if he sees his shadow, there will be more winter; if
ESO/BATX This week, the BAT students and I talked about surviving through an apocalypse: what supplies would one need, what is the best location to live, and what kind of people should our new community focus on (that is, should we have more doctors or teachers or an equal number). In 2ESO, the students played
Infantil This week we continued learning about different toys and there names and functions. One of the activities that I most enjoyed was in P4 we stuffed a bag full of toys and each student had to pick an item from the bag and identify the name of the toy in English! Primary This week
ESO/BATX Ah back to school after Christmas. Everyone’s favourite time of the year (except for the students). To make the new year start a little easier, everyone was allowed to talk about the presents they got and places they went this year. A lot of students were excited about their new video games, watches, and
