This Halloween we focused on feelings: happy, angry, scared and sad. How is your jack-o-lantern feeling?

Este Halloween centrámonos nos sentimentos: contento, enfadado, asustado e triste. Como se sente a túa cabaza?

We are reviewing school objects and learning some new. You can keep practicing with this game (thanks to Belén Junquera for sharing). Click on the picture to start:

Estamos repasando os obxectos da escola e aprendendo algúns novos. Podes seguir practicando con este xogo (grazas a Belén Junquera por compartir). Preme na imaxe para comezar:

*Notice that felt tip is another word for marker.

* Ten en conta que "felt tip" é outra palabra para "marker" (rotulador).

And here is another pack of games about the subject. Try them!

It's been raining heavily these days. When we were about to choose "rainy" in our weather interactive chart, we found out this expression: raining cats and dogs.

Está a chover moito estes días. Cando estabamos a piques de escoller "chuvioso" no noso gráfico do tempo interactivo, descubrimos esta expresión: chover gatos e cans.

It made us laugh a lot since we were imagining cats and dogs falling from the sky. However, it does not literally mean that. It is just an expression meaning that it is raining a lot, similar to our "chove a cántaros" or "caen chuzos" where neither buckets nor "chuzos" are falling from the sky.

Isto fíxonos rir moito, xa que estabamos imaxinando os cans e os gatos caendo do ceo. Sen embargo, non significa literalmente iso. É só unha expresión que significa que está chovendo moito, semellante ao noso "Chove a cântaros" ou "caen chuzos" onde nin hai baldes nin "Chuzos" caendo do ceo.

Cheeky Monkey and Rory the lion didn't go to the Guadalupe fair in Rianxo, but they went to a fair in their town. There, they found these funny mirrors. Look what happens when they try to see themselves in them.

Cheeky Monkey e Rory o león non foron á festa da Guadalupe en Rianxo, pero foron a unha festa na súa localidade. Alí, atoparon estes espellos divertidos. Mira o que acontece cando tentan verse neles. 

Do the mirrors make things BIG or SMALL?

After having traveled around the world, our new friend Tiger finally arrived to Rianxo. He already knew a lot of things about us but we didn't know almost anything about him and wanted to ask him many questions. He talked about himself and promised to tell us about the countries where he has been. This is how we welcomed him.

Despois de ter viaxado por todo o mundo, o noso novo amigo Tiger finalmente chegou a Rianxo. El xa sabía unha morea de cousas sobre nós, pero nós non sabiamos case nada sobre el e queríamos facerlle moitas preguntas. Falounos del e prometeu contarnos cousas dos países por onde pasou. Así é como o recibimos.

Hello children!

I'm Tiger, Cheeky's new friend. I'm orange and black. I roar and I jump.

How were your holidays? I went to the beach. Look at me!

I'll be there with you very soon.

Good bye

Tiger
