Belvedere house

Our second excursion was to Belvedere house. ''Narnia The Witch, The wardrobe and the lion'' and ''Bridge to Terabithia'' were filmed there. We went to the gardens and saw  a lot of interesting places about the film.

We also saw the house which was built by a noble man a long time ago. There was a wall that's called the jealous wall. The jealous wall was build on the 1760's. It's 22 metres tall and 50 metres long, it's beautiful. it was built to separe the two brothers houses that were in the same garden so that they couldn't see each other.
The bad thing is that it was raining.

Happy Thanksgiving!

In 1620 some English people sailed to America because they didn't like the King's religion.
It was a long journey and when they arrived in America they were very ill. Many people died from sickness, starvation and freezing to death. There were some people living there, the Indians. The Indians decided to help them. They showed the English people how to hunt and fish, how to grow corn and potatoes and helped them to build houses. In 1621 they started to get corn, pumkings and animals like ducks; this was because the Indians helped them. So they decided to celebrate it to give thanks, not only for the harvest, but for their new home and friends. Today in countries like USA, people celebrate  Thanksgiving the forth Thursday in November. They get together with the family and friends and they have a Thanksgiving dinner. They have turkey, sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!!!

Beginning 1st of ESO

The first day we met a lot  of new teachers that we didn't know. We  were very nervous, but after two weeks we feel a bit better. This year we have more subjects than in 6 graders and now we are the youngest of  ESO.
Our new subjects are more difficult . :( The bad news is that we are having our first exams in two weeks' time.
We have a new building, it's better than Primary's building because it's bigger.

This year,  we are going to Ireland with Los Sauces  Pontevedra. It's our last trip to Ireland  during the schoolyear.

Summer is over

Now summer is over and we are all going to miss the things that we did in summer and that we can't do now.
For example: some people like going to the beach but other people prefer going to the swimming pool or to the mountains. Lucky people travelled all around the world beacause they weren't happy with spanish beaches.
Other people went to summer camps like: adventure, horse-riding, fishing, water sports...
But now, we're in Autumn so we can do other different things like halloween, "Magosto", and indoor activities. The worst thing about autumn is that we have to go to school and the days are shorter.

3 eggs
1 spoonful of sugar
63 gr. dark chocolate

2. We mix the sugar with the yolks and apart whip the egg whites.

3. Once we have the mixture (yolks and sugar), we add the flour and the baking powder. Then, we add the chocolate and the butter that we had melt previously (step1)

4. Finally, we add the whites carefully. 

Now, we have to prepare the molds and we fill the third part of them.

We heat the oven up to 180º, and we introduce the molds for 20 minutes more or less.

We should wait till they cool down to spread the chocolate frosting on top

Chocolate frosting

THEATRE AND DANCE WEEK

Last Wednesday, the Secondary Theatre Group performed the play  "Zeus, una comedia" written by Woody Allen. It was directed by Albino Pombo and one of the main actors was Alex López, who we have interviewed.

Alex claims to be a person who doesn't like to answer his own questions, so we have made the effort of thinking of our own:


INTERVIEWER: How did you get interested in theatre?
ALEX LOPEZ:Since I was little I enjoyed to dress up in many ways and to do silly things, so one day my mother told me why not to enjoy the school drama club.

I:What kind of theatre do you like most?
A.L: Well, I like comedy and also drama, I like to be someone with a dark past.

I: So, if you like comedy do you consider yourself funny?
A.L: Well, generally I think that I'm a really funny person and I know that people enjoy listening to my jokes.

I: Are you intending to go further with the fact of being an actor?
A.L: Well, when I have an Oscar I will tell you.

I: Do you assimilate so much the characters you have to play?
A.L: Yes, normally.

I: How do you do this?
A.L: I assimilate them but I don't reach the point of living it, for example, if I have to be a paralytic I don't stay in a wheelchair for two months.
I: But, have you ever done a paralytic role?
A.L: In fact, no, but once I had to be a woman.
I: And how did you do it? Did you follow them?
A.L: I always follow them!! (laughs)
I: Do you think you have more opportunities with women since you started acting?
A.L: Yes, I have to admit it. I can't deny it.
I: Do you take in your lines easily?
A.L: Yes, it's very easy for me, with only reading it I have it, but in case of forgetting something I' not bad at improvising..
I:In the future, what will you prefer, cinema or theatre?
A.L: I think I would choose cinema because it opens more doors, you get more opportunities and with it I can earn more money. Appart from that, sometimes I don't like the pressure of thousands of eyes staring at me while I'm doing a monologue, for example.

I: Well, let's talk about your last play "Zeus, una comedia".
A.L: In this play I'm Diabetes, who is a greek and stupid actor that has become an alcoholic and poor person because he stopped acting, nobody wants him in their plays. One day, in a new play, he plays the part of Fidípides, a slave that doesn't know what to do. At the same time, Diabetes goes out of the play to discuss with the director that he wants to be the main actor and not a simply slave. Suddenly, the actor who was Zeus dies, so Diabetes has to improvise a new ending. In it, he's the hero of the story, against the director's feelings, but anyway he plays the ending as he wants.
I: We have run out of time, so thanks for being with us this morning and good luck in the future!

Our trip to Madrid (1º BACH)

The students from 1st of Baccalaureate went to Madrid last week, we spent 3 days there. We visited a lot of museums, it was a pity that we couldn't see all the paintings at the museums because we didn't have enough time.
Despite the fact that we didn't have time, we still had time to go shopping or visiting the city (some people left their money at home so they had to borrow some money from friends...)
The teachers (Miguel & Mestre) go every year but they still get lost in Madrid, however, they weren't the only ones who got lost; some of us did too but we are very intelligent so we decided to go to the restaurant where we had had lunch. We will always remember this trip because it was too hot and we didn't have water...
The trip in the bus was very "interesting": at first (6.00 a.m) people tried to sleep but it wasn't comfortable, later we listened to some music and watched some films like "No strings attached" (the film was censored by Mestre) and  at the end we watched "The Notebook" (some people cried). The trip back home was similar but  it felt shorter.

Atapuerca 4º ESO

Last week students of 4ºE.S.O. went to Burgos to visit many beautiful and interesting places. We arrived last Thursday, but we visited Atapuerca the next day.
Atapuerca is a site where there are many caves  which have preserved our history for years. The visit is very entertaining, we learned a lot about our ancestors and the way they lived. We could see, for example, a trap where hervivorous animals were trapped so that humans and other carnivorous animals  could eat them.
We could see that humans at that time were smarter than we think they were. The sights are very nice, the place was full of vegetation and the rocks had a long history. We also saw Miguelón, an ancestor who was very important in his tribe, (you can see him in the photo) we learned many things about his life.

1st ESO in Altamira and "Lagos de Covadonga"

Last week the students of 1st od ESO went to Cantabria and Asturias for two days. They visited the museum of Altamira where they could see the "neocave" which is a copy of the original paleolitic paintings found not far from there. They also went to the "national park of lagos de Covadonga"

This is a picture of 1st of ESO A listening to the guide's explanations about the lake.There were three lakes,
 one was a temporary lake. In the biggest lake there is a statue of the Virgin of Covadonga,  it is inside the lake all the year but once a year they take it out  for a celebration in Picos de Europa.

It was very tiring, but we were very lucky because the weather was fantastic! We ate a packed-lunched near the lakes .We enjoyed the excursion a lot because we didn't have to come to class but we learned a lot of history and geology. By the way, Do you remember what a "MORRENA" is? We would like to have more excursions like that because we like this way of learning new things. We recomend you to go to this excursion, it's a good experience!
