Students from First Grade Secondary level designed and created beautiful lapbooks as the outcome of the extensive reading program in the English subject.
A lapbook is a hands-on visual tool to communicate ideas and recall what students have learned in an appealing way.
The first semester they read the book “A Close Shave” based on the famous Nick Park´s Oscar-winning characters Wallace and Gromit. The story develops when Wallace the inventor meets Wendolene in her wool shop, he falls in love with her at once. But why does her dog, Preston, hate Wallace’s dog, Gromit?.
Then, after Wallace’s new sheep-shaving and pullover-making machine falls into the wrong hands, things start to go very wrong.
Can Gromit save Wallace from the danger of “A close shave”?
In the second semester they read the book “Sherlock Holmes: The Emerald Crown” written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, in which a man from the British royal family leaves and expensive gold and emerald crown at Holder and Stevenson’s – one of the best banks in London. When someone tries to take the crown from Mr Holder’s desk, he asks Sherlock Holmes for help.
Who wants the crown and why? Only Sherlock can find the answers.

Well done kids!!!
