A prayer for our late Sister Mª Dolores, who died unexpectedly last Thursday. I didn´t have the pleasure to meet her, but I´ve been told she was a mainstain inside this Order. I beg you say this little prayer for her.


Eternal Rest

Eternal rest grant unto her,
O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon her.
May the soul of the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God,
rest in peace.
Amen.

INFORMACIÓN PARA EL 2º TRIMESTRE

En esta 2ª evaluación vamos a trabajar sobre Baena. Al margen del blog he puesto los distintos grupos con toda la información necesaria para desarrollar este nuevo proyecto. La temática es diversa: iglesias, La Almedina, Torreparedones, la Semana Santa, el Aceite...Los grupos se sortearán mañana en clase. Si entre vosotros estáis de acuerdo en cambiar el que os ha tocado con otro, estupendo.

Me gustaría hacer una ruta turística con vosotros siendo guías de turismo. Quizá lo dejemos para el 3er trimestre, que es muy corto. Ya os lo iré diciendo.

El proyecto tiene que estar escrito en inglés. En los documentos adjuntos os he facilitado algunos páginas donde encontrar la información que os pido ( algunas ya vienen en vuestra segunda lengua).

By the way, I wish you all a Happy New Year.

Jesús, Ángela, María y Bea

Your exposition could have been far better. I know you have prepared it carefully and that you could have talked without looking at the paper, but don´t worry! I understand it´s the first time you talked in English in front of your classmates.

Well done!

Patricia, Ana Álvarez y las hermanas Barrera



The slides can´t be shown as we saw them in class. Maybe it´s a different format. The slides seem too big,especially the words in capital letters, but, anyway, the pp is amazing.

Well done, girls!

JOHN LENNON ( The best singer ever!)

It´s been nearly 30 years ( next Wednesday) since John Lennon,one of the best known musicians of all times,was assassinated by a crazy Mark David Chapman. But his legend still lives on.

I´ve uploaded some songs for you to listen to, sing or just watch. They are worth a try. Hope you enjoy!

Who hasn´t listened to this beautiful song? The message is crystal clear...


Dad una oportunidad a la paz ( Give Peace a Chance!) A great pacifist Lennon was.



All you need is Love. Great song with plenty of different musical instruments.



In my Life. Easy to understand ( with Spanish and English subtitles).
