Getting ready for Easter here...photos and 'how tos' coming soon!
On Sunday the clocks went forward here, something I am thoroughly against since it means losing one hour of sleep, and boy have I noticed it this week. I feel like I flew to Singapore and back, as if I had jet lag or something!
What are your plans for the holidays? Mine keep changing depending on the weather forecast, which coincidently also keeps changing everyday.
Enjoy your Wednesday, we're almost there!
6 teaching days left until Easter here :)

Hello!
I hope everyone had a great weekend. I did some cooking this weekend after many weeks of being lazy but we're on a gluten free diet here at Jordan English and I can definitely feel the difference, so much more energy! Not enough to keep up with the crazy rug rats though!
First I made lentil burgers, then I made some potato wedges and a mango coleslaw salad to have with it. I get my recipes and inspiration from this website, although it's not possible to get all the ingredients here so use your imagination and be creative!

We're on 'a count down' down to Easter hols as well, time flies here...2 weeks and counting!
How was your weekend?
Let us know!

Friday fun day is here!
Finally the weekend is here! And here is the test I told you about too...
Let me know what type of learner you are!
Yesterday, we had an interesting conversion about how school has changed in the last 100 years. Apparently here things have gone from one extreme to the other (super strict and rigid to completely loose). What was your school like and how has it changed? Do/did you have to wear a uniform?
I had to wear a tie, a blazer and a skirt. Girls were not allowed to wear trousers because it wasn't 'feminine'! I think it was changed when I was there...still no jewellery or make up though!

What type of learner are you???
So it turns out most of us were visual learners, do you see the words in your head when you read?
One or two of us were audio learners, who can listen to music whilst studying or working and this helps them.
What about you? Do you prefer to listen to music or do you need complete silence? Do you always need something in your hand and move your hands while you are speaking?
I'll post the test later and you can take the test yourselves!
Today we're going to go over some funny idioms...have you got a bun in the oven? :O
So...let's all paint the town red today!

Another manic Monday here!
Well done to all our students (and ourselves) for turning up to the mock exams on Saturday, I think that was a reality shock of how difficult and tiring the Cambridge exams really are!
Today some of us are going to do a 'test' to find out what type of learners we are...I'm looking forward to the results ;)
One of our star students Lucia is jetting off to England soon to do an intensive course! What I wouldn't give to be free to do that for 12 weeks! I can just imagine myself learning Spanish in the Caribbean next to the beach all day everyday...
P.S This week we are offering 2 homemade robots to a good home with kids! Volunteers are welcome...
Enjoy your day!

Happy Father's Day
I hope everyone is well and treating their dads to something special today, it's father's day here in Spain. So hopefully we are going to make some fun cards for our papis today :)
This week is flying by and it's non-stop here at Jordan English, as we say in English 'time flies when you're having fun!'
Apparently this weekend our sunny spell is over, so no rush to go out and buy garden furniture (surprise surprise). On the other hand, I think the sun has gone to some of the ESO girls' heads...'ooh beach boys...tanned, muscles...hot' not to mention the significant distraction some Danish boys are causing them either!
Thankfully, today is mostly my cute innocent infantile babies :), hurray for the shopping game and fairytale dominoes!
Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts!
Happy Father's Day!
