Alberto, one of our english teachers, celebrated a contest with his students, from 1º ESO A, 2º ESO B, 2ºPMAR, 3ºA and 3ºB.
If you listen the podcast you will see how much fun it was. Do you want to try? Here are some of the tongue twisters they did:
‘A big black bug bit a big black dog on his big black nose.’
‘Fresh fried fish, fish fresh fried, fried fish fresh, fish fried fresh.’
‘She sells seashells by the seashore.’
‘Friendly fleas and fireflies.’
If you are brave enough send us your tongue twister and we will publish them in a podcast. You can try with those above or another one you like. Go for it!
During the Second Term and before the pandemic changed our lives, 2º Year «A» students were rehearsing this adaptation of the original and complex play “The Other Room” by Ariadne Blayde . Adrian ia a brilliant teenager who happens to have severe autism. Lily is a popular classmate he would never expect to have a connection with. But the encounter takes place by chance and Adrian feels he is not alone in the constant fight to connect with the “ordinary world”. In the original play, four different characters represent Adrian’s inner life.
By this activity, we wanted to make all the school community aware of the handicaps autist teenagers often feel no matter how brilliant they are.
