All Nobel Peace Prizes

Peace Day Project



The 30th January, we celebrate the Peace Day, so students from the 4th year will prepare different mini-posters about a Nobel Peace Prize winner.



First, you have to choose one of the winners from the list ( All Nobel Peace Prizes ), then find and print this person's pic and write down what you consider interesting about his / her biography, as well as why he / she won the Nobel Peace Prize. Finally, write down your own opinion about this person's activities.



After doing that in classroom, we'll exhibit them in the school together with other projects done for this occasion.







Let's work about Peace!!!

“La Paz” Falsa Alarma

Estribillo: 
Pon tu granito de arena en tu tierra por la paz,
si vienes con guerras te doy la mano y digo paz.
Pon tu granito de arena en tu tierra por la paz,
si vienes con guerras –nuestro corazón más se ablanda-
Pon tu granito de arena en tu tierra por la paz,
si vienes con guerras te doy la mano y digo paz.
Pon tu granito de arena en tu tierra por la paz,
si vienes con guerras te doy la mano y digo paz.

Paz en ti mismo... paz en tu casa...
en tu entorno... en tu mirada...
en tus propósitos... paz y respeto en el mundo...
tu sabes... paz y respeto en el San Miguel...

Estribillo:
Pon tu granito de arena en tu tierra por la paz,
si vienes con guerras te doy la mano y digo paz.
Pon tu granito de arena en tu tierra por la paz,
si vienes con guerras –nuestro corazón más se ablanda-
Pon tu granito de arena en tu tierra por la paz,
si vienes con guerras te doy la mano y digo paz.
Pon tu granito de arena en tu tierra por la paz,
si vienes con guerras te doy la mano y digo paz.



“Happy” Pharrell Williams

It might seem crazy what I'm about to say
Sunshine she's here, you can take a break
I'm a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don't care baby by the way

{Uh}

[Chorus:]
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

[Verse 2:]
Here come bad news talking this and that, yeah,
Well, give me all you got, and don't hold it back, yeah,
Well, I should probably warn you I'll be just fine, yeah,
No offense to you, don't waste your time
Here's why

[Chorus]
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do
{Hey
Go
Uh}

[Bridge:]
(Happy)
Bring me down
Can't nothing
Bring me down
My level's too high
Bring me down
Can't nothing
Bring me down
I said (let me tell you now)
Bring me down
Can't nothing
Bring me down
My level's too high
Bring me down
Can't nothing
Bring me down
I said

[Chorus x2]
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do
{Hey
Go
Uh}

(Happy) [repeats]
Bring me down... can't nothing...
Bring me down... my level's too high...
Bring me down... can't nothing...
Bring me down, I said (let me tell you now)

[Chorus x2]
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do
{Hey
C'mon}





How Comparison of Adjective works in English.




Instructions for this second term project for the 3rd groups. I.E.S. San Miguel. The digital project for this term is about "Places". Once you have chosen your partner, different places around your village will be given to you, so you can choose one for your presentation. You have to use the following website to prepare your presentation: https://www.smore.com/. We are going to work with a Digital Flyer, in which you have to insert all the information about the place, as well as pictures, interesting links in the Internet, videos, and whatever you want. The link is the following: You will have to sign up first in order to create an account to be able to work online. Here you have a model to follow, but remember you can insert anything you think is important for your project. Once you have presented all the projects, we'll insert some of them in my blog. You can also print them if you want to. Let's create something really good!!
