The Flintstones anniversary

Posted by María on 1st October 2010

50 years ago, on 30th September, 1960, the animated sitcom The Flintstones was started on ABC. The series is about a working-class family and their neighbours, living in Bedrock, a Stone Age city: Fred and Wilma Flintstone, their daughter Pebbles and their pet dinosaur Dino; their neighbours Barney and Betty Rubbles and their son Bamm-Bamm.

Flintstones… Meet the Flintstones,
They’re a modern stoneage family.
From the town of Bedrock,
They’re a page right out of history.

Let’s ride with the family down the street.
Thru the courtesy of Fred’s two feet.

When you’re with the Flintstones,
have a yabba dabba doo time,
a dabba doo time,
we’ll have a gay old time.

Happy 50th anniversary!!!

A new school year

Posted by María on 15th September 2009

I’m afraid the time has arrived. We have to go…

We need to leave our summer memories aside and start thinking about books, exams, homework… It’s not fair, life is much easier during the holidays, but we have to be strong and think that next year’s holidays are near.

School year coming to an end

Posted by María on 14th May 2009

The school year is almost finished but the remaining days are the hardest. You need to work hard if you want to spend the summer lying on the beach sunbathing, so why not do a little bit of revision? You can visit the webpages that are on the links menu. You’ll find grammar explanations and exercises, vocabulary revision, games, listenings…

            Just one last effort, you’ll see it’s worth it.

Peace Day

Posted by María on 30th January 2009

 On the 30th of January we celebrate the School Day of Non Violence and Peace. The purpose of this day is to point out the importance of education in and for tolerance, solidarity, respect for human rights, non violence and peace. And the importance of schools as instruments of peace and understanding between people of different formation, race, culture and religion.

Visit this website http://www.britishcouncil.org/learnenglish-central-magazine-peace.htm and and read the text about peace symbols. Finally, write here a comment with your opinion about the article.
