Hello, everyone! This is our

very special and long

awaited edition. We hope it

will be the first of many to

come.

It is with great motivation

that we embrace this new

and thrilling project, PAPI

(Plano de Acção para o

Inglês).

Throughout this year, our

Estudo Acompanhado

classes have been gaining

new life and new colours

with different and stimulating

activities, carefully planned

taking into account our

students’ needs. After all,

learning English can be

funtastic!

In this first edition, we get to

know some of our school

members, take a peak at the

most exciting events and have

fun with amazing activities!

TO ALL OF OUR STUDENTS, WHO

WORK HARD AND TEACH US

VALUABLE LESSONS EVERY DAY,

THANK YOU!

The teachers,

Anabela Silva

Ana Trigueiros

Felismina Moura

Henriqueta Silva

Rosa Morais

What’s your job?

I'm a teacher.

What time do you usually get up?

I usually get up at a quarter to eight.

What do you eat for beakfast?

I usually eat milk and bread.

How do you come to school?

I always come to school by car.

Where do you have lunch?

Well, it depends but lately I usually have lunch at the school canteen.

Do you have time for extra-activities? What kind of activities?

Well, not much... with school work and two sons (7 and 2 years old) it's

almost impossible to have any free time. During the holidays I enjoy

reading.

Do you like watching TV? What's your favourite TV programme?

You may not believe me but at home we usually watch "Canal Panda" and

"Sic K". It's my children's choice...

Do you like working at our library?

I love it!

What’s your favourite book?

Well, the books of my life were "Os Maias" and "Uma Família Inglesa" but

there are other books that were also very important for me: "A Casa dos

Espíritos", "A Insustentável Leveza do Ser" and "Equador".

What’s your favourite author?

It's Isabel Allende.

What do you think about our project PAPI?

I think having the opportunity to develop your speaking abilities is great!

Writing is important too, of course, but oral communication is much more.

At least that's what I believe. There's a private school in Braga that has a

similar project (1 hour per week for "Speaking lesson"), so it's fantastic

that our public school is doing the same.

What do you think about our school and our students?

I think that our school is always "alive" with new projects for you

students to obtain the best school results. About our students, I think that

you are lovely: kind, gentle... I only ask you to study a little more!

SCHOOL EVENTS

C hristmas has come earlier to our school and

brought some great presents: a wonderful

Christmas Cards Exhibition, Christmas Carols,

a Christmas Vocabulary Tree, a Christmas Vocabulary

Game and a Christmas Treasure Hunt.

Students attending Rosa Ramalho and some

younger students from primary schools were invited to

(re)create some Christmas Cards.

The final result was amazing! Creative and original

postcards gave our school a fantastic spirit of

happiness and joy.

“All you need is love”, John Lennon used to say.

And that’s what we had. Lots of love, all around. It was

in every detail of the decoration of corridors and

classrooms, in the heart-shaped cards, in every word of

every letter put in St. Valentine’s mail box, in the Cupid’s

wings and in the smile of every member of this school’s

community. This is a simple portrait of what we all felt on

February 14th, Saint Valentine’s Day!

The Spelling Bee contest took

place at our school library in a very

special day : “O Dia da Escola”.

At first, our students were a

bit nervous but then they seemed

like professionals, proving that

English words are a “piece of cake”.

They showed everyone their

spelling skills and had a great time

with their colleagues and teachers.

Congratulations to all of them!

O NOSSO PROJECTO Este projecto pretende desenvolver as competências dos alunos ao nível da comunicação oral e escrita, implementando uma dinâmica de trabalho no Agrupamento que promova essencialmente o desenvolvimento linguístico, numa vertente comunicativa, pelo recurso a diferentes actividades que envolvam o aluno na construção do seu conhecimento, contribuindo assim para a diminuição do insucesso na disciplina.

É gratificante verificar que o Inglês está a deixar de ser um dos “bichos papões” no percurso escolar dos nossos filhos. O desenvolvimento de projectos como o PAPI (Plano de Acção Para o Inglês), levado a cabo ao longo das aulas de Estudo Acompanhado, só vem beneficiar e facilitar a aprendizagem desta língua de uma forma mais lúdica e criativa. Parabéns e muito obrigada aos professores responsáveis pela iniciativa.

There are over 6000 languages spoken in the world. And

behind each and every one of them lies a rich and diverse cul-

ture. That’s what the European Day of Languages (EDL) aims

to celebrate - by showing people across Europe how important

languages are, and what fun can be had learning them.

26 September is the all important day. Set up by the Council

of Europe, EDL was first celebrated in 2001 – and it’s getting

bigger every year, now with 45 countries involved.

Someone who helps me,

Someone I can rely on,

Someone who understands me,

Someone who listens to me,

Someone who doesn’t disappoint me,

Someone who is kind to me,

Someone who makes me feel all right,

Someone who gives me advice,

Someone who cheers me up when I’m sad,

Someone I can share secrets with.

By 6º7

I live in a flat.

My house is quite big, comfortable and fantastic.

There is a kitchen, a living room, a study, two bathrooms,

three bedrooms and a pantry.

The kitchen is big and the living-room is wonderful.

In my bedroom there is a bed in front of the chest of drawers

and a desk in font of the armchair. There’s a wardrobe on the

right of the bed and the bed is between the bedside tables.
