EXCHANGE PROJECT 2013

Hi Chiddingstone ! This is the second year we'll fly to England  with a group of 12 students from level 6.

Our exchange project with a little English school in Chiddingstone, Kent, continues and we're really happy to come back again.

We began this experience with the aim to extend English learning further than our school classrooms and offer the pupils the chance to practice it in a real context.

Furthermore, this is a good opportunity to travel abroad and to live with native English speaking families.

But, before traveling to England, they are going to visit us. That allows us to involve all our students in this project and we are going to share some activities with them.

We open this blog again with the intention of sharing together the trip and the different activities we can develop there.

Hola Chiddingstone! De nuevo, este año, nosotros volaremos a Inglaterra con un grupo de 12 estudiantes de sexto de Primaria.

Nuestro proyecto de intercambio con una pequeña escuela en Chiddingstone, Kent, continua y nos sentimos muy felices de volver allí de nuevo.

Empezamos la experiencia con el propósito de extender el aprendizaje del inglés más allá de nuestras clases y ofrecer a los alumnos la oportunidad de practicar esta lengua en un contexto real.

Además, ésta es una gran oportunidad de viajar al extranjero y convivir con familias de habla inglesa.

Pero antes de viajar a Inglaterra, van a venir ellos a visitarnos. Esta visita nos permite involucrar a todos nuestros alumnos de ciclo superior en este proyecto y compartir algunas actividades en nuestro entorno.

Abrimos un año más este blog con la intención de compartir con todos vosotros el viaje y todas las actividades que allí llevemos a término.
