TRICK OR TREAT , AN ATYPICAL HALLOWEEN

Halloween celebrations have been a bit different at IESO Alconétar this year due to the coronavirus pandemic . Pupils have not worn spooky costumes or tried delicious halloween treats made by FPB students as in previous years . However , the situation has not prevented them from enjoying this traditional Celtic festival and learning a little bit more about its origins and evolution throughout the years . Besides , our students have improved and developed their knowledge of vocabulary related to this festival with games , flashcards , riddles , songs and scary stories .
2 º ESO students , for example , have learned how this festival is celebrated by a typical British family with children of their age watching the video “ This is Britain : Halloween ”.
They have also watched another video about the typical food and games associated with this celebration in which they showed interest . Music has also been part of our celebration since students have listened to and made some activities about Tim Burton ´ s song : This is Halloween .
2 º ESO students have also made their own videos with riddles their classmates had to guess . Here you are some examples : 2 º B Guillermo , Lucía Romero 2 º B .
Finally , older students at 4th ESO have written and read collaboratively a spooky Halloween story that you can hear in the following link Halloween scary story ( 4th ESO students ). As you can see , the pandemic has forced us to celebrate Halloween in a different but not less productive way because where there is a will , there is a way .
