This year we have learnt some English idioms. Here you can find some of them.

If you take something with a pinch of salt, means that you don’t completely believe it.
A white elephant means something large, costs a lot of money to keep and has no useful purpose.

Todos empezamos el nuevo año con buenos propósitos, por eso hoy en la clase de inglés hemos recordado los tiempos verbales pasado y futuro aprovechando esos buenos propósitos.
Recordamos que el pasado negativo lo formamos
I didn’t + infinitive verb

Y el futuro
I + will + infinitive verb
Así pues reflexionamos sobre lo que hacíamos mal y nos proponemos corregirlo para este próximo año
Por ejemplo
I didn’t study very much but I will study more
I didn’t clean my room but from now on I will clean it.

 

 

 

 

 

Los alumnos de 4º de Primaria han representado el Nacimiento y Adoración del niño Jesús en lo que ha constituido un verdadero Belén viviente. Acto seguido todos los cursos de Infantil y Primaria han cantado los villancicos en castellano, inglés y valenciano, que habían ensayado en clase.

 

Agradecemos al M.I. Ajuntament de Burjassot que nos haya cedido, de forma gratuita, el uso de las instalaciones del Tivoli.
