HANDBALL

HANDBALL  is a team sport in which two teams of seven players pass a ball to throw it into the goal of the other team. A match consists of two periods of 30 minutes, and the team that scores more goals wins.

In Spain, handball is very popular, although not as popular as football. The Team Seis do Nadal from Vigo is a bit famous in the area.

The Spain national handball team has won several competitions and medals.

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 !!!!

The tragic death of Marco Simoncelli

Marco Simoncelli died because he fell off his motorbike . Valentino Rossi  and Colin Edwards hit him in his head and the helmet went out .  Forty-five minutes later the doctors gave the world the bad news of  his death .
