WORLD
On May 31st was celebrated the
English day in our beloved
institution, where the purpose was
to involve every student into a trip
around the world, giving them the
opportunity to learn about different
cultures and improve their
knowledge about the English
language. It was a learning and
growing activity, in which the
students could exercise and improve
their knowledge about the English
language through practice and
interaction. Our tour had as
destinations: Australia, India, Malta,

ENGLISH
USA, Ireland, Hawaii, Malaysia, New
Zealand, Bahamas, Singapore,
Jamaica, United Kingdom, Canada,
England, South Africa, Philippines,
Fiji, Scotland and Sri Lanka.
Our journey started with the artistic
presentation from ninth and
eleventh graders, who recreated the
well-known festivals of Mardi Gras
and Notting Hill. Therefore, one of
the destinations of our trip was
Singapore and Bahamas, where
sixth graders told us about some
recipes and, by their side, we could
increase our vocabulary of the
different products that are used at
the time of cooking.
Likewise, in Australia, India and
Malta, our students had the
opportunity to perform a
recreational activity, in which they
danced, sang and had fun to the
rhythm of the music of different
countries. Also, we had the presence
of USA and Ireland, where the
seventh graders exposed about the
tourist places, typical food and
 places like: London, Canada,
Australia, Hawaii, Walt Disney World
and New York.
We travelled to United Kingdom,
there our school theatre group
entertained us with a funny play
titled “Maria Angula”. Also, we
learned about Jamaican typical
dances with the artistic performance
of some learners under the
leadership of Sebastian Cardenas,
who headed us to follow his dance
moves. We went to Hawaii, Malaysia
and New Zealand, where our English
teachers designed a special activity
for the students to practice the
language through spelling.
Finally, we met Canada, we enjoyed
of the concert of the best singers of
our institution. In South Africa,
Philippines and Fiji, our learner’s
knowledge was tested in a kahoot,

FESTIVAL
where they had to answer questions
of general culture, music and
different topics. We travelled to
England and had a meeting
conversation. Also, in Scotland, we
danced through the rhythm of
country and rock & roll music. And,
in Sri Lanka, students expanded
their vocabulary through the
designed activities.
As a consequence, with the
increasing of the cultural interaction
in the recent years, is required to
have students and persons opened
to know about the different cultures.
Thereby, activities like the English
day allow us, as teachers, to
contribute to the construction of
world’s citizens, of informed persons
that have the ability to interact and
respect the traditions of the distinct
communities.

Proud of our students and to be a part of

this event, Alba Lucía Higuera Motta
