CHRISTMAS CARD PROJECT

MEADE (USA) - FRAGA ( SPAIN)

                                                             THEATRE PLAY 

Students of 3rd Year and some of 2nd year ESO saw a Theatre play called "All that music". It was shown in the Centro De Dia and it was performed for all students of these ages from the different schools in Fraga. 

Santi F 3º : My opinion about the play is good. The play was interesting and funny, very funny. I understood the story very well. But there were some parts where I got lost because they did not follow their interpretation. ...

Miriam M. 3º : I liked the theatre because the actors talked about musicals and songs and it has got some funny parts but it didn ' t tell a story , it was only a dialogue and it seemed longer than it was in reality.

London Olympic Games

Did you see the London Olympic Games? What did you see in particular: taekwondo, basketball, athletics, synchronized swimming, ...?

         It was very exiting to see  Usain Bolt´s race  getting a new olympic record and the last competition of Michael Phelps. Also, it was exciting to see the last basketball match, USA-Spain, altough USA won, and the final battle that the Spanish Joel González won.
The closing ceremony was also very funny, seemed a music concert. Such artists as Jessie J, and Taio Cruz song. There were beautiful moments as when Jessie J and other singer song a legendary song of Queen, and when the beautiful song Imagine of  John Lennon. (Andrea Estruga 4º)

 

        This year the Olympic Games were in London the 24th of July. I liked the opening ceremony. It was very original. It was of the history of London. 

My favourite sport is the synchronized swimming. It was very interesting. This sport combines swimming, gymnastics and dance. You can be in pairs or teams (max.8). Spain got silver medal in pairs and bronze medal in teams.

I also liked the "calavado". Jumps are from 10 meters high. I also saw the hurdles races and canoeing on Tv. 

The closing ceremony was also nice. There have been also the Paralympics.

       I saw all the Olympics Games. My favourite event was the Men's 50 km Race Walk because this event went arround the London streets and I was located in front of Buckingham Palace to see the race. There were a lot of people of diferent countries who were encouraging the athletes of their countries, I encouraged he Spanish athletes. It was an exciting experience in spite of the fact that the Spanish athletes didn't finish the race in the first positions                                                Oscar Millanes 4º 

 

Did you see the triathlon men´s final  ?

 

Write a comentary about it.

It´s a really exciting event because it has some different sports in the same event. 

The players start swimming, then they have to ride a bike. Both of them are really tiring. finally they have to run until the end. 

This year a British sportsman won the event. The second was Javier Gomez, a Spanish athlete and the bronze was for a British boy, too. (Luis Rodriguez . 2º  BTO)

CHILD LABOUR

In February this year we celebrated the bicentenary of Charles Dickens' birth. Bachillerato students read a book by him : David Copperfield and Great Expectations. 

ESO students worked on his life and his books.They learnt that Dickens did more than anyone to portray  Victorian London. Many Victorian children were poor and worked to help their families. Few people thought this strange or cruel. Families got no money unless they worked and most people thought work was good for children. The Industrial Revolution created new jobs in factories and mines. Many of these jobs were at frist done by children, because children were cheap - a child was paid less than  adults.

But later the students were able to know that 200 years later Child Labour is still happening in many countries around the world and they worked on what kind of jobs children do  and what countries make children work.

Now we want you to know a bit more on this topic and give your opinion. Watch these two documentaries:

Pancake Day

In the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland and several other countries around the world, Pancake Day is celebrated with fun, games, and of course a lot of eating. However, the most well known activity is the Pancake Day race, which has been held since 1445. According to tradition, a woman heard the shriving bell being rang at the church but was still preparing her pancakes. The story says that as she didn't want to be late to church she ran there in her apron, still, clutching her frying pan.
