Students at a school in England have been given an iPod to help them in their lessons. Students are able to use the iPods as calculators, dictionaries and to look up information. They can also send  their homework to their teachers via email.

Bullying affects children in a lot of schools.  Bullies are the people who upset you and make you sad, they call you names, they take things from you, they hurt you and they make you feel uncomfortable.

Bullies are cowards and they always choose people weaker than themselves, but you can be strong.  If  you are being bullied or you know someone who is being bullied TELL A TEACHER OR AN ADULT or if you feel scared write a letter.

Here on the Blog you can create a poster about Bullying. Just click on the image.

Then you can share by clicking on send to a friend to The Blog at corunablog@gmail.com.

Any posters received will be shown on The Blog.

Hello everybody!

Well, here we are at the start of a new school year. New classes, new teachers, new friends, new books and new responsibilities…

So, do you want to go back to school?

Take part in our BLOG POLL. A poll (encuesta) is a way of knowing what people think about something. Just click on YES or NO and then VIEW RESULTS.

Today is the last day of school and tomorrow we begin our school summer holiday. We have a very long Summer break here in Spain. In England schools don’t finish until the end of July!

So enjoy your holiday but don’t forget to do some homework and of course, practise your English here on the Blog. There are exercises online that you can do to learn and have fun!

Just go to the “English” section in the right side column.

Comics are very good for learning English because the pictures help us to understand the dialogue and they are fun to read. Now you don’t have to be a great artist to make a comic, as on the internet there are websites that allow you to create your own comics. Click on the links below to make yours.
