Our new assistant, Jamie Thompson

                        

The Scottish Flower

     
One of our new assistants is called Jamie. He's from Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland. However, he's only lived there for about ten years due to his mother's job, which caused him and his family to travel to many places such as Costa Rica, Mexico, the USA, etc.                    

Scotland's map

He's told us some facts about Scotland. For instance, the population is around 5.2 million people. Its patron is Saint Andrew, and its national anthem is "The Flower of Scotland" (which, by the way, is a thistle). 

Scotland's flag

Scotland is famous for its castles (like the Sterling and the Edinburgh castles), the Loch Ness and the legendary monster that's supposed to live there, haggis (a traditional dish that consists of liver, oats and fat served in a sheep's stomach) and Robert "Rabbie" Burns, a famous poet who wrote the song "Auld Lang Syne". Famous celebrations include Hogmanay (on the 31st of December, Burns Night (on the 25th of January), the Highland Games (from May to September) and the Edinburgh Festival (in August).

                                        

A typical Scottish event

Jamie likes football and supports the Celtic Football club and the AVFC.

AVFC

 He likes to read and play the guitar. He has a younger sister, Sadie, who is currently studying at university. He's been in Spain for about a month now. He likes the warm weather and the food, and doesn't regret coming here!

About Dublin: the website

For an English project, my friend Marcos and I had to design a webpage about an interesting city. We chose Dublin, and this was the result. 
If you click on the image, you'll go directly to the website. It has interesting facts about history, geography, weather, curiosities and more. Check it out!

Jamie Thompson, a great assistant

It was half past eight of a single Monday at the high-school. We were waiting for an usual English class. I couldn´t imagine the surprise that was waiting behind the door!
I was taking my English things out from my school bag when, suddenly, a young boy entered with Manuela. Another assistant (some days before we met another assistant)!!- whispered  people in the class with boring faces. But when he told us about his life, I think every single person in the class changed his mind.

Jamie Thompson is a Scottish boy. He comes directly from the Scottish capital city, Edimburgh.

Scotland isn´t an independent country, it belongs to the United Kingdom. It is located in the North of England. Scotland is a very curious contry: for example, Scotland has two flags!!

 Their typical food is haggis: some lungs, liver and salad served in a sheep stomach... At first, it sounds disgusting, but Jamie says that it´s delicious!

Scotland has a population of 5,2 million people, its patron is St. Andrew and their national flower is the thistle.

It has monuments like the Edimburgh castle, emblematic places like Lake Ness and parties like Burns night.

Jamie, Although he was born in Scotland, has been living in Costa Rica, U.S.A., Mexico...
It is his 4th week here, in Spain. He likes Spain because of the weather and the food. He would like to have a pet here and  he has one sister.


Personally, I believe he´s going to be a great assistant and he is going to help us a lot in English!!!
