3º Diversificación: British epals


This term our 3º Diversificación students are going to start up an exchange with British students from a school located in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, in the north of England. This is their school webpage:

Our students are going to keep up with their respective epals via e-mails under the supervision of the teacher. This exchange is kept thanks to the following organization:

This is the first time we are going to establish such an activity with a British school. It is challenging and our students are going to learn a lot, that's for sure!

2º ESO: present perfect













This is a brief summary of the present perfect:

Present perfect
The present perfect is a verb form which links the past and present. We use it when we talk about an action or state which started in the past and which continues up to the present time. 

For example:

I've lived in Dublin since 1994. 

I started living in Dublin in 1994 and I still live in Dublin now.
