Reading

Just because reading really feels like home, even when we are far away :)

March 12 to March 16 was the Reading Week at Escola Básica e Secundária de Pinheiro! This year, under the motto "Cooperation and Solidarity", students prepared their favourite texts, songs and drama moments and presented them to the whole school community, in Portuguese, in English or in French.

To all the students who made it happen so well, my deepest thank you! I'm really proud of YOUR work!!!

World Poetry Day - March 21

World Poetry Day was declared by UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) in 1999 and is celebrated today. The aim is to promote the reading, writing and teaching of poetry. According to UNESCO: "World Poetry Day is an invitation to reflect on the power of language and the full development of each person’s creative abilities."

Literature Map

Literature-Map is a site that gives you a diagram of authors that it thinks you might like based on the author you put in the search bar. The closer to the original author the new one is, the more closely related they are to your search author. Here is an example for J. K. Rowling. Check it for yourself, it's great!
