BIOGRAPHY OF David Villa

All the students in 1º B had to write a biography of David Villa, it was very important not to copy from Wikipedia, they should do it  simple and clear. This is what they wrote.

DAVID VILLA

His full name is David Villa Sanchez, he hasn’t got a middle name but his nicknames are El Guaje and the Kid. Villa´s birthday is on 3rd December. He is a professional football player. He is famous for playing in FC Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid and Spain National Team.

Villa is from Langreo, Asturias (Spain). His father’s name is José Manuel Villa and his mother’s name is Dorita Sánchez. He hasn’t got any brothers or sisters. He is married with Patricia and they have two daughters and a son.

He is tall, thin and very funny!

Review Frankenweenie

After watching the movie some students from 1º B and 2º B wrote a few sentences about the film and the main characters.

This is what Marina López and Elena Gata from 1º B said:

The film is in black and white and the characters aren’t beautiful. The boy has a little dog, Sparky and it’s his best friend. The boy’s name is Victor.

Victor is tall, thin, and has short hair. He has also got very big eyes. He is antisocial, serious and very intelligent. He loves science.

Sparky is Victor’s dog. He’s small and has got big ears and a long nose. He’s very funny and loves Victor.

Victor’s parents love Sparky too. They think that Victor hasn’t any human friends.

Edgar is another character, he is hunched, short and ugly. He’s terrible. Elsa has a dog, she is black.

Both Marina and Elena liked the film because it’s beautiful,amusing and funny, especially for the drawing of the characters.

And this is what Victoria Puente and Lorena Vélez  from 2º B wrote:

Victor lives with his parents in New Holland. He is the owner of a dog called Sparky but he died because a car hit him.

Victor has a new science teacher and they have to do a project for school. Victor gives life to Sparky by lightning.

Victor is very tall, thin, intelligent and nice. He is a clever and hardworking boy. He loves science.

Sparky is black and white, he is playful, friendly and very energetic.Elsa goes to school with Victor. She is a girl with big eyes and a small mouth. She is tall and thin. She is a tender, kind girl and very shy.

Victoria didn’t enjoy the film because she didn’t like the plot (argumento) , but Lorena really liked it because it’s an animated film and because she laughed a lot.

Sowing Life

The activity consisted of two parts: The first students met the great plant biodiversity of the urban park of Tres Arroyos and their practical usefulness to humans.

The second part will be performed at the star activity, reforestation of typical Mediterranean forest trees, holm oak (Quercus ilex), pine (Pinus pinea) and cork oak (Quercus suber), thus contributing both to the rejuvenation of our pasture, and the environmental awareness of the students.

As you can see by the pictures we had a great day.

HALLOWEEN

Where does this tradition? Discover more about the Halloween fun and different customs. 

Halloween is a celebration of British culture that is celebrated on the night of October 31. 

Its origins date back to the Celts more than 2,500 years ago when the Celtic year ended at the end of summer, on 31 October our calendar (Samhain). Cattle were the meadows led to the stables for the winter. That last day, it was assumed that the spirits could come out of the graveyard and take over the bodies of the living to rise again, ask food and cursing. They were victims of spells if they did not accede to their requests: you give me something or get into mischief, which is the translation of "Trick or Treat". 

To avoid this, the Celtic villages littered houses and "decorated" with bones, skulls and other nasty stuff, so spend long dead scared. Hence the tradition of decorating houses with sinister motives in the current eve of All Saints and also costumes. It is thus a party associated with the coming of the heathen gods to life.
