What a Great Way to Say Goodbye!

Our wonderful week ended the best way: the English and French teachers surprised the 3rd and 4th year students. At the end of the school day, they went to the gym to watch a play performed by these teachers. The play was based on a dialogue from their school book «Fairyland» so they all could be familiarised with the characters: Erlina, Alvin, Harry, Mona and Lee.

They loved the show!

We take this chance to leave the link to a website where these students can do extra activities.http://www.blogger.com/www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.expresspublishing.co.uk/elt/fairyland/fundown/mb_erlina.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.expresspublishing.co.uk/elt/fairyland/fun_images.html&usg=__dgpJTAJuFGM523zyR-2zy-hEg6Y=&h=240&w=240&sz=26&hl=pt-PT&start=4&itbs=1&tbnid=htBHb3t6pxIc1M:&tbnh=110&tbnw=110&prev=/images%3Fq%3Derlina%26hl%3Dpt-PT%26gbv%3D2%26tbs%3Disch:1

We made SCONES!... ...and ate them all

The second cooking lesson was another big success!

This time our little cooks made English Scones. There were about 30 students but everything went great and the scones turned out delicious...

Here is the recipe in Portuguese:

• 280 gramas de farinha
• 50 gramas de açúcar
• 75 gramas de manteiga
• 2 colheres de chá de fermento
• 1 ovo
• 6 colheres de sopa de leite
• uma pitada de sal

Deite a farinha, o açúcar, o fermento e a pitada de sal numa tigela e misture. Junte a manteiga em pedacinho (à temperatura ambiente) e amasse com as pontas dos dedos sem bater muito e por fim junte o ovo e o leite. Molde pequenos bolinhos e ponha em tabuleiros untados com manteiga e polvilhados com farinha. Leve ao forno a 190 graus entre 10 a 15 minutos. Sirva ainda quentes com manteiga ou doce.

The Recipe!

As we promised, here is the recipe for «crêpes». It is is Portuguese so your family and friends can all understand and do it at home.

Comme promis, voici la recette des crêpes. C'est en Portugais pour que tous à la maison puissent la réaliser.


We hope you enjoy :)
Bon appétit!

• 250 gramas de farinha
• 4 ovos
• 3 colheres de sopa de óleo
• 1/2 litro de leite
• uma pitada de sal

Deite a farinha numa tigela e junte uma pitada de sal. Deite os ovos inteiros na tigela e junte o leite lentamente mexendo sempre com uma vara de arames até obter uma mistura homogénea não muito grossa. Por fim, junte o óleo batendo sempre. Deixe repousar cerca de meia hora. Aqueça uma frigideira anti-aderente ao lume bem forte. Deite pequenas porções da mistura preparada e deixe escorrer pela frigideira de forma a esta ficar com o fundo completamente tapado. Vire o crepe e deixe cozer um pouco. Retire e sirva com compota ou chocolate ou, se preferir crepes salgados, sirva com fiambre e queijo, por exemplo.

Foreign Languages Week

These two first days of OUR week have been wonderful.

We started on Monday morning with a sensational show by the Clever Pants group. Students from the 5th to the 9th years had a lot of fun!

During the lunch break we are holding a book sale with French and English books. It has been a success. If you haven't been there please don't forget you can still do it until Thursday.

This afternoon we had the first of two cooking lessons. Today we made (and ate!) «crêpes à la française». It was an amazing experience... The students were having fun, the cooks were happy and the final result was yammmmm :)

Les deux premières journées de NOTRE semaine se sont trés déroulées. Nous avons eu droit à une pièce de théâtre en anglais pour les élèves de 5ème à la 9éme année. Ce fut hilarant!

Nous avons inauguré la foire aux livres pendant les heures de pause-déjeuner. Que de beaux livres! N'oubliez de réserver ou commander!

Pendant l'après-midi de mardi, nous avons pu réaliser notre session culinaire de "Haute-Cuisine": la recette des crêpes! Délicieuses! Miam-miam!

Paris je t'aime... Paris tu me manques...!

Pour les finalistes de 9ème année: voir et revoir Paris!

Que de bons souvenirs!

Have Fun Learning!

The video game LIPS for xbox360 is our entertainment suggestion for the holidays.
It not only provides great times with friends and family on a healthy karaoke competition but also allows you to know/remember songs from different times. The lyrics are rich in vocabulary and by singing them you also practise the reading and pronounciation.
PS - If you prefer the Playstation, there is also a similar game «Sing star».
