 Hello everyone,

Do you know the meaning of the word "mascletà"?

This is “Mascletà” in my village, Sant Joan d’Alacant, during "fogueres" festivity. It's always  at 2 o’clock p.m. Take into account that the important thing is the noise instead of the light.

Some people love it, other hate it.

 Hello everyone,

"La cremà" is the act of setting fire to the "Fogueres". These monuments are burnt every 24th June, after St. John's Eve to celebrate the Nativity of Saint John Baptism. These monuments were burnt in Alicante, Spain. It's called "Nit d la cremà", night of burning.

 Hello everyone,

This kind of T-shirts students wear make us happy. We normally read the message and talk about the picture and the meaning. Sometimes we also record the message and share it. Children love this and it's an easy way to motivate students who don't normally participate.

It's also a funny way to boost participation by giving all students the opportunity to respond in class.
