GIVING DIRECTIONS

Despite using new technologies and ,of course, the traditional map, tourists still get lost. Fortunately, there is always a kind person ready to help them. YOU are one of them... Do you want to help our lost tourist?

Have a look at the map. Our tourist has visited the museum and now he feels hungry. He has been told there are two restaurants quite near. Although he enjoys Italian food, he wants to try Korean food. How can he get to the Korean restaurant?

WH-WORDS

As some students find difficult to remember wh-words, this year we have decided to decorate our class with WH-CORNERS. 

Up to now, we have the WHO-CORNER done by students from 4º ESO and we have also done the WHAT-CORNER thanks to our students from 2º ESO...

They have written riddles ... Here you have some of them.

What is it?

Now, can you guess the following ones?

 Please, remember to send your answers.

OUR HALLOWEEN CONTEST 2014

GUESS 25...

Wimbledon was the first tennis tournament in the world. It takes place over two weeks in June and July and it is still played in grass. It is one of the four Grand Slam tournaments . The other ones, as you probably know, are Australian Open, Roland Garros and US Open.

But Wimbledon still follows some traditions:

the Royal patronage
the absence of advertising in court

the third one has to do with this photo...

and the fourth one? Have a look at this photo, it will give you a clue.
