Map of Gibraltar

Hi. If you want to know what the city is like, here's a printable tourist map of Gibraltar, and a digital one with POIs. Getting ready?

Gibraltar

As you all porbably know by now, we're setting off for Gibraltar on a one-day-trip next Friday. We're all getting somewhat excited about it, including myself. We'll be talking about our destination next week, but, before classroom discussion here's some tips for you to bear in mind during our journey:

ID Cards

It is very IMPORTANT that you take your ID with you at all times. The ID cards and licenses stamped by the Civil Guard are required to enter Gibraltar, so everyone will be checked when leaving Martos. Students who do not carry documentation may not board the bus. It is also advisable to check the validity of ID cards.

Socializing

Hopefully, you'll practise your English in Gibraltar by getting in touch with a community of English speakers (well, actually bilingual), so, you all will be encouraged to interact with the native population. So, kids, be gentle and, kind and always observe standards of education appropriate to the context. I'm sure there'll be no problem at all on this respect.

Money

The legal tender in Gibraltar is the Gibraltar pound (1GIP = 1.19€), but most shops and restaurants will accept euros. Don't bring too much money (cable car tickets are aleady fixed and going shopping in Gibraltar can be very expensive).

Food

Even though we'll be stopping for breakfast and dinner while traveling forth and back , I recommend you to carry food and drink in your backpacks. For lunch, there are several fast food (hamburger, pizza) in town.

Clothes

The weather on Friday is expected to be warm and sunny and we're going to be walking for quite a long time, so wear light and comfortable clothes and footwear, and maybe a jacket. Avoid tracksuits, please, we're not playing football there.

Monkeys

In Gibraltar there is a large population of monkeys, which are WILD ANIMALS. They may attack if they feel disturbed, so we should not approach them or intimidate them. Even giving them food is forbidden: the fine for providing food to the monkeys is 500 pounds.

And, well I think that's enough , so far. If you want further information about Gibraltar you can check this website: www.gibraltarinfo.gi

See you on Monday!!

2012 Dickens's 200th birthday

Here are the glogs 4A students have created to celebrate thr 200th anniversary of Dickens. They're all based on Oliver Twist but each student chose their own topic to focus their glog on (and the language for their glog, too).

The one glog devoted to his biography was made by Pablo:



This is Cristian's choice: the city of London in Victorian times:



Juan Diego tells us about the Industrial Revolution and children's working conditions in the age of Dickens:



Esther has reviewed the Rights of Children, as we know them today, as compared to working class children's life conditions in 19th century Britain. She's illustrated her glog with scenes from R. Polanski's Oliver Twist film adaptation:

#Dickens200

Tomorrow, 7th February 2012, the world commemorates Charles Dickens's 200th birthday. Some students are creating their own Oliver Twist focused glogsters to add to this celebration (they'll be uploaded here later on). In order to whet your appetite here's a poster I've just made as my tiny little contribution to keep such an universal author in memory.

And here, two unmissable links to learn (a lot) about Dickens and his works:
