SPRING UPDATE BY HOLLY CARTER, OUR LANGUAGE ASSISTANT

Hi all, 

I hope you are keeping safe and looking after each other at this difficult time. I am thinking of you all lots and hope we can be reunited soon. I am going to use this time at school in order to update the blogpost about my time at Salvador Allende. 

I have been at Salvador Allende now since the start of October and I have had an incredible experience. 

Since October in the various grades, we have been learning the curriculum through a series of games, songs and activities which we have all enjoyed together. They are wonderful students who are so engaged and excited to practice English and it is so exciting to be able to work with them and see their language improving. Throughout the different years, we have used a variety of different activities including online quizzes and games in order to revise and learn the content. These have been very useful in promoting teamwork and working collaboratively when revising. 

Salvador Allende has given me an amazing cultural experience and I hope that I have given it in return. I have been so lucky to learn so much about Malaga, Andalucia and Spain overall through my experience at this school. We have done activities about Guy Fawks night (English traditional holiday), Halloween, Christmas, Valentines Day and Andalucia day. Using a variety of listening, speaking, reading and listening activities in order to enhance this. I hope that we will e able to do some activities for Easter either online or hopefully in person soon.

The community at Salvador Allende has really opened its arms to me and welcomed me as it’s own which has been super meaningful which has made the experience of moving to a different country and the drastic changes involved so easy. The staff and students at this school are so beautiful and I hope to see them all soon. 

I am going to be hopefully setting up a blog also, so students can find fun online activities to practice as well as games- from grammar exercises to vocabulary. I hope this will be useful for when studying at home. 

Speak soon,

Holly
