"Walk the extra mile"

Afternoon jelly beans!
Just wanted to give you a shout about the new section created on the display button, top left hand side of the blog. Click on it to access all sort of information related to Cambridge Exams (levels, tests, dates, etc.), E.O.I. (Escuela Oficial de Idiomas). I am aware that most of you might be interested in attending an English academy to take your English to the next level, and so I thought you may find the links quite useful. 

There is also access to the Oxford Owl website, where you can access plenty of FREE eBooks to develop your reading skills, browse books by age and download resources regarding other subject areas, such as Maths or Science. You will also find a section to access BBC English and Jolly Phonics reading programme. Where do I start? Try checking out The sonbirds collection by Julia Donaldson and her storytelling area: Jullia Donaldson storyteller
