In the midst of our confinement we can still celebrate a virtual holiday! Today, March 17th , in Ireland and where ever there are Irish populations, people get together to wear green, eat corn beef and cabbage and celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day! These videos explain the whys and hows of this green luck o’ the Irish celebration!

And now a traditional Irish anthem. (Aviso: coged pañuelos, que es una canción bastante melancólica.)
And now for something equally traditional, but a little happier!
And just in case you aren’t familiar with Irish Step Dancing, here is a small taste.
Enjoy this cultural moment. Happy Saint Patrick’s day and Luck o’ the Irish to you all!

Bueno chicos y chicas, el mundo no se ha parado , esto es solamente un pequeño intermedio en nuestras vidas, así que mientras estamos en casa, vamos a aprovechar para repasar , aprender y practicar inglés.
Durante este tiempecito que estarás en casita y hasta que nos volvamos a ver en nuestro Colegio, habrás repasado y practicado cualquier concepto y tema en inglés que hemos estudiado juntos y quizás era un poco difícil para tí. Para ayudarte, además de los cuadernillos de inglés , tenemos que mirar en www.Liveworksheets.com , donde tendrás nuevas actividades para practicar y mantener al día tu inglés. También habrá entradas en el Blog con nuevos videos. Así que por favor, no se te olvide comprobar diariamente estos dos recursos.
Mientras tanto, lavate las manos muchas veces.
Cuidate y cuida de las personas que amas, escondete en tu casa.
