The shorts activities

Last Wednesday we were showing the shorts and then all the groups were making activities about the shorts. Each group had 2 o 3 activities, and we all brought food. 

I think all the activities were so funny, it was the last activity of the year. I like to much the shorts, all were very well done.

Now I'll post the trailer to the film which is based our short.

 

The Oscars

The Oscars is an annual American awards ceremony honoring cinematic achievements in the film industry.
A lot of famous actors and actress attend the ceremony every year.
The ceremony is watched around the world by people of many countries.
There are a lot of categories, for example, best picture, best directing, best actor in a leading role, best actress in a leading role, best costume design, best visual effects, best original song...
It's so exciting!


We have done a short, so we are going to celebrate our own Oscars on Friday.
We must wear a dress (the girls) or a suit (the boys).
The categories of our Oscars will be like the original Oscars, but we are going to add new categories, for example: best grades, best hair, best dress or suit...
I think it will be so funny and thrilling!


To finish, I post a video of Meryl Streep's speech when she won an Oscar in 2012.
Enjoy it!

                  THE ROARING TWENTIES 

Few days ago we made an interesting class about the roaring twenties, the age we remember as a time of party, smoking cigarettes, and drinking alcohol, with their beautiful skirts.

We have learnt things like they used to listen jazz with a special quiz that the teacher gave us.

And we have seen a little piece of the film "The Great Gatsby" settle into the roaring twenties and it was such a good film, but now I want to see the whole film because the part we saw was very interesting!

Here I put you the trailer, maybe you also want to watch it soon!!
