Happy Autumn! 🍁 (Or Fall, if you prefer the American spin on the British classic!)

According to the calendar, cosy season officially begins today. But, judging by the weather outside, Mother Nature hasn't received the memo and has left the oven preheated! Yes, I am currently drinking iced coffee!

Linguistic debates and heatwaves aside, we all know that this is secretly the best time of year.

🎃 Halloween: The undisputed champion of holidays.
🎨The colours: Nature shows off its best ones.
🍂The weather: Unbeatable... once the sun stops acting like it's July!

Whatever you call it, share what you like about autumn (and your complaints about the heat) below! 👇🎃🍁

Cuando las redes deciden boicotearte el día y nos juegan una mala pasada!! 🤖💥

Ayer acompañamos este vídeo con unas palabras para celebrar el inicio de curso, pero el traductor automático decidió inventarse su propia versión en español. ¡Mil disculpas a las familias que leyeron semejante texto!

Nos lo tomaremos como una señal: ¡una razón más para aprender inglés y no depender de los traductores automáticos! 😜

Os compartimos el mensaje original tal cual lo preparamos:

✨ "¡Hoy es un día muy especial y no podríamos estar más felices de dar la bienvenida a todos nuestros estudiantes! Desde los más pequeños algunos estrenando cole en el barrio, hasta los mayores en su primer día de instituto... ¡cómo han crecido! Por un año lleno de aventuras, logros e infinitas posibilidades. ¡Feliz curso 2026-2027!" ✨

☀️What does "Sunbathe" mean? ☀️

Ever wondered just how much English people love the sunshine? The proof is hiding right in their dictionary!

The verb sunbathe literally translates to "bañarse en sol". Because when you live in a country where the big yellow thing in the sky is a rare and mythical creature, simply "sitting" outside isn't enough. You have to treat it like a luxury spa experience and take a full-on bath in its glorious rays! 🛁🌞

Example: I like to sunbathe in the morning when the sun is not so hot.

So as it is a beautiful day today: grab your sunglasses, find a nice patch of grass, and go take a bath in that sunshine! 😎🏖️

Today we start with the finals for the spelling bee competition, we are also finishing the preparation for the official Cambridge exams, end of course... an idiom comes to my mind: we are busy as a bee! 🐝✨
What does that mean? It means we are working very, very hard. A bee works hard to make sweet honey. We work hard to make sweet success!
Are you busy today? Hope you have a happy day too! 👇

World Environment Day 2026 focuses on climate change—on the urgent signals the Earth is sending.The planet doesn’t argue. It doesn’t negotiate. It sends signals—rising seas, raging wildfires, heatwaves, melting glaciers. We said 1.5°C was the limit. We are crossing it.
Solar panels stretch across rooftops. Wind turbines line the horizon. Cities are being redesigned for people. Forests are being replanted. Positive tipping points are taking root in every corner of the planet.
Remember there is not Planet B!

We know you are going to crush the PAU! 🎓 Break a leg! 🎭🍀

But, why are we telling you to "break a leg" right before the PAU?! 😱🏥

Don't worry — it's actually one of our favourite ways to wish someone good luck! Did you know that some people believe that wishing someone good luck directly can actually bring bad luck? Saying the opposite is believed to attract positive outcomes. ✨

So, we know you're going to do great. Take a deep breath, trust in your hard work, and break a leg! 🚀📚
