Thoughts of the Day
I'm an English teacher and I've created this blog for 7th, 8th and 9th grade students from Escola Básica Hermenegildo Capelo, Palmela, and their teachers. The purpose is to motivate students to participate in English. I/ We/They can share opinions, curiosities, information, thoughts, short comments and/ or texts about topics discussed in classes. Learning English can be fun!

1st October 2024
Do you know that ...?
On this date, 1st October, people celebrate
International Music Day,
International Day of Older Persons,
and
World Ballet Day, among other observances.
In 2024, "Harmony Across Cultures" is the theme of International Music Day.
This year's theme emphasises music's role in connecting different cultures and creating a more harmonious world.
Through music, we can appreciate diversity and strengthen ties that bring humanity closer together.
This date was established by the UNESCO in 1975, to celebrate the diverse expressions and global significance of music.

12th September 2024
Dear students,
we're back to our dearest school
and to our dearest friends.
Our holidays were surely great
and now ... it's time to come back.
I'm sharing with you all a quote of Albert Einstein
that I consider extremely important
because in life we should never
give up on anything no matter
how difficult things may become.
This is our challenge: when you make a mistake
learn sth from it and never give up!
Try harder next time, and one more time,
and again, ...
“A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new."
These are 3 photos of this day, 12th September, when welcoming you to this new school year, 2024-2025.
