AFTER MULTIADVENTURE

Today, May 5, we have already come from the wonderful trip we made to Huesca, Multiadventure. We were really tired when we arrived to Bilbao, but it was well worthwhile!

From our point of view, the best activity has been rafting; it was the only activity in group and it was exciting as we were in constant tension.

The second activity we enjoyed the most was canyoning, however, we got a bit scared because the distances from the floor were very high.

Finally, the third activity was hydrospeed. Although it has also be an impressive and enjoyable activity, it is the one we enjoyed the fewest.The best of this experience has been the harmony and relationship we have had between our classmates, instructors and teachers, with which we have close ties. We hope we come back!

MULTIADVENTURE


Next Monday and Tuesday (25th and 26th April), 4th ESO students (us) are going on a Physical Eucation's trip to Huesca, Multiadventure.We are staying there two days (one night). This activity consists in practising a series of extreme sports (although we will be completely secure) such as rafting, hydrospeed and canyoning.

Hirospeed is an activity in which you are in constant contact with water. A specially designed wetsuit, together with a hydro between our hands and, finally, some fins are the materials we are going to use and have fun with. The aim of the activity is to go down the river with the help of the hydro that are given.

Secondly, rafting, is the activity we are really looking forward to doing. You go down the river on a launch accompanied by four more classmates  and  a instructor.

And finally, talking about canyoning, you go down a river where there will be 4 different obstacles in which we will have to rappel, jump into the water... Of course, we are going to be given a harness and a helmet; safety first!

After going to this fantastic trip, we will tell you our experience and post some photos!

SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE



William Shakespeare is considered the greatest dramatist of all time. He was baptized on April 26, 1564, in England. He grew up in Henley Street, near London. William married Anne Hathaway.

In 1593 he published "Venus and Adonis", one of his first large poems. Over the years he became more famous in the London theatre world. Shakespeare died on April 23, 1616.

"Shakespeare in love" (1998) directed by John Madden, is an American film starred in by Gwyneth Paltrow and Joseph Fiennes. The film tells the story of the love adventure between Viola de Lesseps and William Shakespeare, during the time when the playwright was writing Romeo and Juliet.


We have recently watched the film in class, and it has been worth seeing it. We found it very interesting and full of love; we considered it a great film. If you like love and drama films you will definitely enjoy it! However, we didn't like the end... just watch it and let us know your opinion in the comments!!

Here you've got the film's official trailer:

We've also done our own trailer... hope you like it!

"BOCATA SOLIDARIO"

This week (April 18- April 22) our school are selling "Bocata Solidario" during the playground in the canteen. The aim of this activity is to collect money in order to give it to Haití with a specific project: scholarships. The families' resources are very limited and many of them can't offer their children an appropriate education. We intend to cover the daily maintenance, the uniform's costs and books for all the school year.

The students from Primary, Eso and Bachillerato have to bring the foodstuff with which the "bocatas" are filled: chorizo, ham, salchichón, sponge cakes and Spanish omelet. But that's not all; badges with different drawings done by some teachers are also for sale..

The foundation that helps us in this project is called "Juntos Mejor". This foundation has been more than 150 years helping the most needy and deprived countries. It works for all the children who suffer an outcast childhood and the women who are being ill-treated all around the world. At the moment, projects are being developed in lots of countries, such as Nigueria, México, Cuba, Argentina, Perú, Haití, India, Pakistan, Siria etc. The aim is to improve the educative and social development in all the areas.

WORLD BOOK DAY


World Book Day is celebrated every year on April 23. The aim of it is to inculcate reading habits among people, specially on young  people.

The first World Book Day was celebrated April 23, in 1995. The date was chosen because it was the death of the famous authors William Shakespeare and Miguel de Cervantes. The idea of the day was taken from a Spanish tradition;  The Rose Day.

There are traditions on the day which are specific to some countries: in Spain, people exchange books and organise a reading marathon during two days; at the end, Miguel de Cervantes' price is given by the king. In Sweden, writing competitions are organised across schools and colleges.

In UK and Ireland, the day is celebrated on the first Thursday of March instead of April 23, as St George's Day is celebrated on this day.

To mark this important anniversary, a company in Australia has built a full-scale temporary working replica of the second globe theatre, which was built in 1599.
Shakespeare's works performed in this theatre made the Globe one of the most important theatres in history.


Thanks to researches from Sydney university, Pop-Up-Globe will replicate the exact dimensions  of the second Globe theatre. Eight works from William will be performed. The last one will be on April 16. All the people will share the same space and experience.

M A S K S

We've made a short film in honor to Claudina, which reminds what she taught us. It is also related with Carnival.

Claudina Théhevet (30th March, 1774) was born in Lyon, France, in a family of sill merchants. Her relatives called her "Glady". She died on February 3, in 1837.

Her life was marked by French Revolution. At the age of 19, 5th february 1794, she witnessed the shooting of two of her siblings. Despite her deep pain, she forgave them.

Father Coindre proposed Claudina to take in two orphaned girls, and so she did. With time more and more girls were taken in until Congregation of the Religious of Jesus and Mery wa formed. Her last words before dying were: "How good is God".

Claudina is our school's symbol; her ability to forgive, her power, her love and dedication towards orphaned girls and God... She inspires us and cheers us to follow her steps.
