Is it vacation already?!
The first five weeks of this new schoolyear are over. With only two weeks to go the first short holiday of this schoolyear will start: autumn break (don't you tell me that isn't a real English expression ;) ). With the strong stormy wind through our hair, the rain pooring on our faces and facing the days getting colder and colder every day, we could certainly use a week off, don't we?
But these first weeks have been a blast already: meeting new pupils (hello, again *waving to my laptop screen/monitor right now*), doing all kinds of different English assignments and my heart skips a beat everytime I hear you talk in English during class...this could work out just fine this year.
And do you know that 50 years ago two major events happened in the English speaking world? These clips will tell you all about it:
The first James Bond film premieres on 5 October 1962:

Sending you a bowl filled with chocolate chip cookies with a cup a hot chocolate...in my head ;) .
