A theatre company in our school!
On July 13th, H&H theatre company came to our school to perform the play "Invasiones live". In our English lessons we had been preparing the event with some research about the history of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata in 1806 and 1807. Students in Year 6 and 7 solved a quiz afterwards and -apart from practicing the Simple Past tense and some new vocabulary- they analyzed and discussed some issues such as colonialism and slavery (in the past and now), free commerce, different points of view on historical events, the strategy of ridiculing your opponent, etc...
Quiz: Who are they? (by Year 7)
Students at Year 7 have been working of descriptions of people. Some of them created this quiz where you have to match the descriptions with a picture. Can you solve it? (Click on the link below)
