Our ideal school
"What would your ideal school look like?" That was the question the students of 3A had to answer.
Some wanted more trees at school and others a gym or even a cinema. This brainstorm was the first step, the next one was drawing the school and naming every room.
After the students drew these great looking buildings, they also had to write a short text where they explained their school and why you should go there.

Funny idiom
The idiom “When pigs fly” is a humorous way to say that something is impossible or highly unlikely to happen. It conjures the amusing and fantastical image of pigs—creatures decidedly not equipped for aerial adventures—taking to the skies, suggesting an event or action so improbable that it borders on the absurd.
This expression thrives in conversations where skepticism meets imagination, often used to gently poke fun at overly ambitious ideas or to underscore the speaker’s doubt about the feasibility of a proposed plan. It’s a light-hearted dismissal, one that wraps skepticism in a layer of whimsy.
Tracing its origins to a time when the idea of flying pigs was as far-fetched as any could be, the phrase has endured as a testament to human creativity in expressing doubt. It’s a reminder that, in language as in life, the impossible can serve as a powerful benchmark for measuring the practicality of our ideas.
Employing “When pigs fly” in dialogue invites a smile, even in the face of skepticism, softening the blow of doubt with the charm of the imagery. It’s a way to say “never” without closing the door on hope entirely, keeping the conversation playful and open-ended.
This idiom captures the essence of human ingenuity in confronting the limits of possibility, turning a flat refusal into an opportunity for imaginative speculation.
Example 1: “You think he’ll clean his room today? Yeah, when pigs fly!”
Example 2: “She says she’ll start her diet tomorrow—when pigs fly, more like! She’s said that for months.
