While reading Around the World in 80 Days by
Jules Vern, we wondered what sort of food they ate on their travels. This
inspired us to take a culinary trip of our own places Philead Fogg travelled,
and some other places as well. Join us at CEIP PLURILINGÜE RÍA DE VIGO Travels
to Typical Dishes from Around the World…!!!

I´d like to share this interesting video by Russell Stannard (Teacher Trainer) about some free grammar and quiz sites for learning English online he has selected, "They offer good quizzes with feedback
and good explanations. They are all free, have substantial
amounts of content and in some cases offer some extra interesting
materials. Besides, they are useful, not only for the teachers, but also for the students." They´re worth seeing...!!!
As part of our 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth project, in fifth grade, we made these amazing volcanos with plasticine, which later we harden with white glue. We are pretty sure you are going to love them!
Our students enjoy these Wallace and Gromit videos!
