25 November: International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women
Lots of actions are celebrated around the world on 25 November to remind us to keep on fighting against this crime.
Last Friday 23rd November, our students knew about this serious problem looking at exhibitions, listening to talks and participating in other activities which made them realize that this crime can happen to anyone.
Students analize in a critical way lots of songs and sayings which show an agressive behaviour against women and girls. If we want to get an equal and developed world, we must put an end to this gender violence.and this generation is determined to achieve it.

Halloween 2018
We welcomed this course with a Halloween party last Wednesday, 31st October.We started the previous week telling our students about the history of Halloween, auditions of famous Halloween songs in the class of Music and the historical relevance of this event in most of English-speaking countries. Then, we watched a famous horror comedy film (“Beetlejuice” by Tim Burton) and we listened to some songs sung by our language assistant Clark Williams.
At midday, we had a spooky breakfast. As you can see in the photographs, our students made delicious and surprising Halloween cakes.
We also had a Halloween contest and a ghost walk through a haunted corridor in the unknown parts of our building.
We really had a great time!
