ANGELETA LECTORA

@angeletalectora

NEW!
Books are great friends and teachers. They provide distraction, relief, laughter and truth when you need it. They allow us to reflect who we are, in the privacy of our own minds.
But wouldn't you like to share your thoughts and feelings after reading a special book? You could learn about its background as well.Then it's time to join our brand new BOOK CLUB @angeletalectora. We'll have chats in English, Catalan, Spanish, French...as you wish.

Once you've grabbed a copy  you have about 1 month to read it.
Our first chat will be held on 23April "Saint George's Day" in the school library. There will be a little surprise!

Junior group: Phillip Pullman's El llibre de la pols (Carme Palà)
Senior group: Art Spiegelman's MAUS (Roser Ané)

DUBLIN 2018

A group of 47 students in 3rd ESO are packing their bags to fly to Dublin on Monday.

We hope our pupils enjoy the trip and feel sure it can be an enriching experience. Besides, you'll find the festive atmosphere of Saint Patick's Day. Don't forget your portfolio to write down everything you learn there.

HI!

After a long silent period, here we are again in order to inform you about our activities at the English Department. We've been posting on twitter and now we are ready to update our blog.
