  2. I’ve looked at your blog and I have to say that I found it very interesting. There are a lot of diferent activities where you can practise english skills, Also your blog is attractive and striking for kids.I like the colors you use in the design because they make the entries very attractive. Thaks for share it! Moreover, the technical part of the website is good because there is not broken links, missing information, the applications loads quicky too.

  3. Hi Deyanira!
    I' ve just browsed you blog and I've you congratulate you for the excellent job you ' ve done. What I liked most is the webquest throughout the different countries and the activity on Maths: it's imaginative and entertaining.
    On the other hand, I wouldn' t include the explanations before each activity because I understand this blog is for primary pupils and this information is irrelevant and distracting. To finish I'd like to add that although I love the film on Sherk I think is too difficult for them to get the gist of it.
    By the way where does your name come from?

  4. Dear Itxaso,

    Thanks for your suggestions. I actually include explanations in every entry because this blog is addressed to ESL teachers, so they know what they can find and the purpose of every activity. Regarding your question, my name is actually greek. Glad that you asked!

    Again thanks for your comment, really appreciate it.
