THE LOCH NESS

Today, Pau's mother came to 4th A to talk about her trip to Scotland. 

We learned that Scotland is in the North of the United Kingdom

They talk in English, Scottish and Gaelic. 

She visited the Loch Ness, where it is supposed to live a monster called Nessie. 

She showed us some maps and pictures about the lake and... Surprise! We also have a mini Nessie in class now. 

Thank you very much for visitng us! It was great to listen to your talk! 

If you want to learn more about Nessie, you can have a look at this video from the British Council webapge.
