First english immersion; with Cris.

This weekend Álvar was alone with us. Martín was in a spring camp near here. 

We have had too much time to do things we like: go to our villages, go hiking and enjoy with traditions...

We are very grateful to Álvar’s English teacher, Cris Novoa, who has taken on the challenge of leading our children on the Year 5 class’s first immersion trip.

It is a real gift that, at this age, a teacher would choose to give up her free time so that our children can begin to function in English independently, within an English-speaking environment that encourages them to make an effort with the language.

Thank you, thank you, thank you...

Just like every weekend, whether there are exams or not, we practice English at home; we speak and read in English...

And there’s nothing better than using the numerous activities Álvar has planned for this week to practice vocabulary and grammatical structures.

Today we practiced ‘Going to’ using the programme of activities sent to us from the Gredos immersion trip...

• On monday: class
• On tuesday: class
• On wednesday: trip to Ávila
• On thursday: Neonymus
• On friday: Two trips...but the Very BEST is to Gredos!

And with this planning we were practicing grammar and vocabulary. Unit 6.
