Last Monday Zoila took part in the event organized to welcome the language assistants in A Cidade da Cultura in Santiago de Compostela. She told her experience as an auxiliar describing the most relevant aspects of her work in our school as well as the way of life in Galicia. She started her speech by singing the first line of the song How far I'll go ?(Moana film) and that made that the audience was totally hooked.
Last week we celebrated the International Day of Peace at school and Zoila sang the song Imagine by John Lennon beautifully. This song is "an ad campaign of peace" as the singer described it in the early seventies.💜
We want to thank Zoila for singing with her beautiful voice the Christmas song "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" ( Frank Sinatra) . You can enjoy a part of her performance in this video.
We all learned a lot about the most typical traditions at Christmas in The Philippines, it is known as Pasko and it is the biggest and one of the most important celebrations in this country. Also, it is the longest Christmas season in the world as it lasts from September to December!
With a lovely presentation full of interesting facts about The Philippines, Zoila was able to catch the students' attention as well as motivating them to show curiosity and interest about this fascinating country.
We learned that this country consists of about 7,640 islands, that it has the smallest active volcano in the world. Also, we learned some words in filipino such as "Mabuhay" (welcome) and we were surprised when we found out that the days of the week from Monday to Friday are the same as in Spanish!
One of the things that we liked the most is the positive attitude that the Filipino people have when facing difficulites in life.
Thank you for this presentation, Zoila!
