Our language assistant



The students in the bilingual program work in class with our American language assistant every week. We consider this activity to be a really rewarding experience and the students in 1º ESO are so delighted that they are looking forward to the class with Claire all the time.
Thank you so much.

We enclose her profile:


Hello! My name is Claire Putnam-Pite. I am from Santa Cruz, California.  This is a town an hour and a half south of San Francisco.  I went to the University of California, San Diego which is located in Southern California, just north of the Mexican border.  I studied a double major in International Relations and Linguistics.  My third year of university I studied in Barcelona at Universidad Autonoma de Barcelona.  I had so much fun studying, living and traveling in Spain and Europe that I knew I wanted to return.  When I graduated I applied to the teacher’s assistant program.  Last year I worked at I.E.S. Miguel Catalan where I learned a lot about teaching English and fell in love with the city, Zaragoza.  I am so lucky to have been place in Zaragoza for a second year and look forward to this opportunity at I.E.S. Pablo Gargallo.  I am very passionate about travelling, meeting people and having new experiences. 

We celebrated "Thansgiving" with our students in ESO and Claire gave a presentation about this festivity in her country. Here you can see a brief video with some information about this important day in the Americans'
lives.

Delicious recipes

Are you into cooking? Is cooking your cup of tea? Are you fond of cooking? If the answer is yes, then read  the following recipe which was the winner of the gastronomical contest before Christmas in our high school. Dont ´t miss it!

Gingerbread biscuits:


Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Rest the dough minimum: 2 hours

Total Time: 2 hours, 40 minutes

Yield: Depends on size of biscuits.

Ingredients:

  • 8 oz/225g unsalted butter, softened
  • 6 oz/170g fine/caster sugar
  • 6 oz/170g soft dark brown sugar
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 12 oz/340g all purpose/plain flour
  • Pinch salt
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp nutmeg, freshly grated
  • 1 tsp ground cloves
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3 tsp ground ginger

Preparation:

  • In a large roomy, baking bowl, beat together the butter and sugars until light and creamy - use an electric whisk to make it easier. While still whisking, slowly add the beaten egg.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder salt and spices into another bowl then carefully stir these ingredients into the butter, sugar and egg mixture.
  • Roll out the mixture to the thickness you want between two sheets of greaseproof paper, then place the whole lot in to the fridge and rest for a couple of hours, overnight if possible
  • When you are ready to cook the biscuits, heat the oven to 350°F/180°C/gas 4 and grease a baking sheet with a little butter.
  • Cut the dough with a cookie, or gingerbread man cutter to the size you wish. In batches, place the biscuits on the baking sheet leaving plenty of space around each biscuit as they will spread. Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Any rolled out dough, or biscuits waiting to go into the oven should be kept cold in the fridge or will go too soft.
  • Once cooked, remove from the oven, carefully remove from the baking sheet then leave to cool on a wire cooling tray and the biscuits will harden up. Eat when cold.
