ENGLISH PROJECT: SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

INTRODUCTION

This year our IES is one hundred years old (1908-2008). We are very happy about it. Our school has changed a lot throughout the century and education as well. The English Department wanted to join this celebration choosing as the topic of the Orator project the centenary. The idea was to do a trip along the century. And we really did it!
If we are given the grant, Huddersfield is going to be our destination, where we hope to widen our knowledge and probably see other different ways to understand education. This blog will be a witness of what we did and what we will do once there. We invite you to share our experiences here and there. Follow us!

SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear diary,
Sunday is the day to spend with our families, so each one has lived a different experience: swimming, going shopping, going to the park, going to church, having a typical English breakfast, visiting an art gallery, playing with the play station, watching the football match, going to see a rugby match, eating hot dogs and pies, going bowling, going to an hospice where people were celebrating a party for charity, walking along the narrow cannal, having a big dinner after non having had lunch, gooing to the moors, visiting the Red House, going to the Coal Mining Museum, going to the coast town Blackpool (theme park), eating fish and chips, visiting their teachers, visiting castles, going to an Indian wedding, visiting a farm...; some of them were happy not to see the teachers that day, others stayed at home... They also took the chance to interview their families about education in the past in England and today.

We also had a good day although it was really windy; we had a drink in a pub, we walked and ran home and finally met some students and their families for dinner.
