Tuenti addicts

Almost all teens between 14-18 years old use this social website.
Even kids who are 11 have an account!
Most of us use it even more than TV. We use it to communicate with other friends, upload photos... or even to pass school work to one another.
It's getting more and more popular.
Tuenti is a version of Facebook for Spain. With thetime it is getting more similar to this world famous website (there is even a movie of it).
This picture was taken sort of a year and a half ago. At that time, there wasn't chat and the structure was different.

Tuenti can be an addiction, but remember;DONT'T LET IT RULE YOUR LIFE!;)

P.S: Be careful with the use you do of this web. Don't add anyone you don't know or that looks suspicious. And don't put any "very" personal information.

Just go with it

Just go with it
Just go with it ( In Spanish "Sígueme el rollo" ) is the new movie  of Adam Sandler and Jennifer Anniston, here it will be shown for the first time in March.

A surgeon has a hobby, dating girls and then inventing a false broken marriage so he can date another girl.
But in this case he meets a quite obsessed young girl who doesn´t let him a minute, so he asks her assistant to pretend to be his " wife", but things start getting bad when two kids suddenly appear  during a weekend in Hawaii.
These two actors  have come to Spain to promote this new movie, and in many interviews, it was described as a family movie that  needs lots of sense of humor  so it can be understood.

-You can´t use the frying pan as a weapon.
- If you drop your pancake you'll have to pick it up and start again from the beginning.
- In the race you have to tost the pancake 3 times.
- If there is a draw the team who has the best pancake will be the winner.

How to face the rain

In Galicia, as we know, we have some months with lots of wind and rain. This may cause you some problems, for example, bad mood, bad hair, wet feet...

We’ll  give you some advice for this situation: 

1.Wear rain boots. Right know they are in fashion (also named wellies)  so take advantage of it.                              

      2.Use a rain hat or an umbrella. 
  
3.Don't let weather rule your life. Maybe you can't go to the beach but you can do other things!

Saint Valentine's Day

On the 14th of February we celebrate Saint Valentine's Day that is a special day for people in love, friends, family...People all over the world send gifts, cards or flowers to the people they love.

Lots of times, the symbol of Valentine's day is Cupid. He belonged to Roman mythology, the god of desire, affection and love.

There are lots of different opinions about this day, many people think that is a beautiful day, but other people, like us think that it's a comercial day, and we think that if you love someone, you have to love him/her every day, not only today.However, it's a beautiful day to spend a good time with the person you are in love with.

FAMA 5

Fama's fifth edition is full of emotion and news:

-There is a new hostess, Tania Llasera. At first we loved her; but now we think that she acts a lot and wants to be the protagonist, and the protagonists are the dancers!

   
-There are also new teachers that come with new styles, as Maribel del Pino.

-The best thing is that funky returns with RAFA MÉNDEZ and Mariquitingo, his new pet.
This is his first coreography of Rafa´s 7, we love his creation so enjoy it!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-VDNzl16lw
-Something that doesn't convinced us are the new members of the panel of judges, Vanexxa "the most stupid" and Javier Gurrutxaga "the craziest one", but luckily Lola keeps in it.


Which are your favourite dancers?
What do you think about Lola's decision of Kevin's future in the school?
How do you think Lisa is getting with that?
Here is our opinion!

We love María, she has a particular style and a lot of energy, and also Vero, she is like a machine! One of our favourite couple is the one of Saray and Christian, we are sure they will  reach the final! But definitely the one we love is AIRAM ÑAM ÑAM, he is so hot (he dances very well too). We hope Lidia's departure soon!

          
Gossiping a bit, we want more action in the house, more passion, María and Ramón are very cute but not passional enough. What do you think about Lisa and Kevin? She has someone waiting for her outside but it seems she's playing with Kevin's feelings (if you play with fire you can burn yourself, be careful Lisa!)

EXAMS, EXAMS, EXAMS ...

We've just finished the C1 exams ands we will start  the C2 again, this can sound tiring, but it's.... worse. Almost everyday in a student's life you have at least four books in your backpack, and maybe one, two or three exams a day, and a normal person ( Not braniacs) say:  Stop!!!!!!!

Here we will give you some tips to pass this school year happy, with good marks and no stress.
1. We know you cannot study everyday, or you have lots of homework, or you have an exam or you just do not have time, so try to read it after every class.



2. Don't study like it is an obligation try  to make it fun, for example in literature  imagine you are poet of that time and take it easy


3.  And don´t hyperventilate!!!
If you feel happy, and you think it will pass soon, you will be great.

Healthy diet

Healthy eating is not about strict nutrition philosophies (for example, staying as thin as the girl on the cover of your favorite magazine), it's about feeling great with yourself, having more energy and keeping yourself as healthy as possible.

It´s not just "what" you eat, but "how" you eat. Here are some tips:

- Eat just the right amount of food. You don´t need to get completely full.

-Eat a little of everything. You should have foods from each of the alimentary groups (each one of the groups have different amounts per day).

-Eat five times a day. The worst thing you can do is something everyone does, SNACK. Start your day with a big and healthy breakfast that will give you the energy for the rest of the day.

-Drink a lot of water and do lots of exercice.

-Don't eat sweets and other not so healthy foods very often. You can eat them once a week, for example.

This year we have dancing classes at Los Sauces for Secondary students. We have organized two groups one of modern dance and the other of traditional galician dance. Students from 1st of ESO to 1º Bach are taking part in this activity. We work hard and have a great time preparing choreographies every Friday.

How can teenagers be healthier?

1.  Don't eat too much chocolate!
2.  Play basketball or football and better if it's with your friends.
3.  Sleep more than 8 hours and even more if do sports
4.  Go a for a walk with your dog and with your friends
5.  Have a lot of fun!!!!

Peace Day

Today, 28th of January, we have celebrated "Peace Day" in the school. We did lots of activities like singing and dancing.

After that, we all sang two songs of Michael Jackson called " Man in the mirror" and "We are the world".We all have had a good time all together in this special date with our friends and teachers. ENJOY THIS DATE!

One of our teachers... a long time ago

Look at this lovely face. She's one of our teachers. Guess who?

We have interviewed her. Here you can read some of the questions:

1.Where did you study when you were younger?

During her youth she studied in different places. She spent Primary school which was called E.G.B  at Amor de Dios school, which was a really religious school and where the teachers were nuns. “Our Maths teacher had our photos and arranged them so the best one of us was at  the top of a pyramid”. She told us. 

She continued her secondary school studies which was called B.U.P (Bachillerato Unificado Polivalente). She had a lot of difficulties in Maths and English. “I couldn’t understand Maths and I was so shy that I couldn’t speak English in public”. She told us. However she was good at the rest of the subjects.

2. Have you always wanted to be a teacher?

If she hadn't chosen to be a teacher, she would have studied to be a fashion designer because that was her parents' job. She could't study it because it was only available in Barcelona or London and it wasn't really a university degree. However, she had always wanted to teach children of any age.

3.  Which was your favourite grade?

Third of B.U.P (First of baccaloureate). When they finished that course, they went for a trip to Mallorca and as the nuns didn't want to go, two mothers went with them. To get money for the trip they organised many activities such as a fashion shows, parties, discos or shops. That was the only school excursion they had.

4.What did you do in your free time?

She didn't go out at night till university because it wasn't common at her age. After doing her homework she liked to dance traditional galician dance and if she couldn't she liked to go to her neightbours' houses.

5. Are you as inocent as it seems in the photo?

" Yes, I trust people and sometimes I get disappointed ". As a girl, she was posh, tidy, sociable and she liked to participate in class. She spoke a lot and that's why teachers sometimes punished her. She was really a hard working student.

6. How did you meet teacher Maria?

She met her here bucause they came to school the same year. Both were new so they became really good friends. Since that, they go dancing together and to the cinema too, so they are friends at school as well as outside school.  in spite of being friends, Yolanda admits to be very bad at English; as she says "There's no teacher who can teach me english". 
Also, María teaches Yolanda traditional dancing and Yolanda helps her sewing, because María is hopeless at that.


Personal profile:
Name: Yolanda Gil Dominguez
Date of birth: 10/1/1664
City: Vigo
Job: History and music teacher. She started in "Los Sauces" in 2001-02 

ANDORRA

Just before Christmas we spent  eight days in Andorra. We went to Grand Valira resort. The first day we were divided into differrent groups, according to our level. Beginners  fell a lot of times, but they did it very well at the end.
About the third day the local television channel came and recorded us skiing. We went to the Red Cross point and made a big red cross on the snow with our red coats. At the end of that tiring day we drank hot chocolate.
The day before the last one a girl called Paula had a dream and it came true. She dreamt that she fell down while skiing and she did!!!
We were in a beautiful snowy town. It was all covered with snow, just lovely. It was freezing but we could drink hot drinks to keep warm.

CHRITSMAS FESTIVAL

Christmas Festival

Last Christmas festival was the most beautiful we've ever had, all the girls and boys sang and danced; from nursery school to 1st of ESO
We all danced and sang Christmas Carols and we had a great time. The 3rd graders sang an original song all dressed up like hippies. They looked so cool!
The 6th graders roleplayed a funny Christmas Scene and the boys and girls of 1st of ESO danced a rock´n roll with the Christmas carol "Run, run, Rudolph"
It was a great day. We enjoyed ourselves, we ate popcorn and sweets.
