Welcome

Welcome all to this school year.

We are going to start a project in order to know more about other cultures. We will try to learn more about English-speaking countries: their traditions, music,food, ways of life...and of course practise the language.

This school year, 2008-2009, we will focus our attention on Irish culture, and what´s more, we will try to get deeper into its music with the help of our Music teacher.

Hope you enjoy the tasks, get fun and learn a lot.
